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. |
