suggested that the world was made of 2 things.
-empty space
-particles he called “atoms” (Greek word atoms, meaning indivisible)
Democritus
said everything was composed of 4 elements
1. air
2. fire
3. earth
4. water
He believed that matter was continuous and not made up of smaller particles.
He called this continuous substance hyle. Unfortunately this was accepted until the 17th century.
Aristotle
the smallest unit of matter that retains the properties of matter.
atom
region where the electrons are found
electron cloud
negative charge
electron
make up part of the nucleus and were found to have a positive charge
protons
make up the rest of the nucleus and have no charge. (not discovered until 1932)
neutrons
are similar to electrons but have no charge. They are produced in radioactive decay.
neutrinos
protons and neutrons are made up of particles called
quarks
proton quark
( ^ ^ v )
neutron quark
( v v ^ )
Atoms of the same element that have different atomic masses. This is due to their atoms having different numbers of neutrons.
Isotopes
Difference in an atom and a molecule
Atoms are the smallest part of a substance that has all of the properties of the substance.
Molecules are two or more atoms chemically bonded together.
Difference in a mixture and a compound
Compounds are two or more different substances chemically bonded together. They have a definite composition and can only be separated by chemical means. Mixtures are a blend of substances. They are not chemically bonded and can be separated by physical means.
Bonds that form as a result of atoms becoming ions and are drawn together by
their opposite charges (electromagnetic force).
Ionic Bonding
Characteristics of Ionic Bonding
High melting points
Conduct electricity in a solution or molten form
Definite crystal shapes
Examples of Ionic Bonding
NaCl (sodium chloride)
CaCl2(calcium chloride)
NaOH (sodium hydroxide)
NH4OH (ammonium hydroxide)
CaCO3 (calcium carbonate)
Bonds that form as a result of atoms sharing electrons to become more stable.
Covalent Bonds
Examples of Covalent Bonds
H2O (water)
CO2 (carbon dioxide)
NH4 (ammonia)
CH4 (methane)
C6H12O6 (glucose)
Characteristics of Covalent Bonds
Low Melting point
Do not conduct electricity
Usually brittle solids
Sodium
is a metal and it loses electrons
Chlorine
is a nonmetal and gaines electrons
Why is water a polar molecule?
The bonds between the hydrogen atoms and the oxygen atom are covalent. The oxygen atom has a stronger pull on the pairs of electrons being shared. The electron
pairs are pulled toward the oxygen. This makes the oxygen side partially negative and the hydrogen side partially positive. This creates an intermolecular force between water molecules==drawing them together.
Characteristics of water
a) water is a liquid at normal temperatures (one of very few).
b) water does not evaporate quickly
c) water is polar.
d) ice floats in liquid water.
e) water is less dense as it approaches freezing (expands when it freezes).
matter that has a definite shape and volume
Solid
matter that takes the shape of its container.
Liquid
matter that has no definite shape or volume.
gas
matter that is very hot, usually 5000°C or above.
plasma
only changes the appearance of the matter. It does not change the matter itself.
physical change
occurs when a chemical reaction takes place & something new is formed
chemical change
Changes of states of matter
melting, boiling, condesation, sublimation
process by which matter goes from a solid to a liquid
melting
matter changing from a liquid to a gas
boiling
matter changing from a gas to a liquid
condensation
matter changing directly from a solid to a gas. (dry ice, frozen CO2)
sublimation
Physical Properties:
malleability
melting point
ductility
boiling point
conductivity
Law of conservation of matter
matter cannot be created nor destroyed
Law of conservation of energy
energy cannot be created nor destroyed. However, it can be changed
from one form to another.
Law of conservation of matter and energy
matter can be converted to energy & vice versus.
transverse waves
vibrations of molecules or particles of the medium are perpendicular to the direction of the wave.
longitudinal waves
vibrations are parallel to the direction of the wave
wave medium
air, water, rock, or steel
an unbroken band of all colors
continuous spectrum
sources of continuous spectrum
Hot, glowing metal (incandescent light bulb filament)
Molten metal (molten iron)
Hot compressed gases (plasma) deep inside stars
a spectrum that consist of lines of color—not an unbroken band of colors.
bright line spectrum
sources of bright line spectrum
hot glowing gas or vapor.
Examples--Hydrogen, Helium, Nitrogen, Mercury vapor, & Neon
resembles a continuous spectrum with black lines.
dark line spectrum
Source of dark line spectrum
Produced when a light source consisting of a continuous spectrum passes through a cool gas.
The cool gas will absorb the same colors it produces when it is hot.
