Matter is anything that takes up space and has mass. All matter is made of atoms Atoms are the building blocks of matter, sort of how bricks are the building blocks of houses. What is an atom? Atom : the smallest unit of matter that retains the identity of the substance.

Matter is anything that takes up space and has mass. • All matter is made of atoms • Atoms are the building blocks of matter, sort of how bricks are the building blocks of houses. • What is an atom? • Atom: the smallest unit of matter that retains the identity of the substance
Three Laws Supporting the existence of Atoms • Law of definite proportions – states that a chemical compound always contains the same elements in exactly the same proportions by weight or mass • Law of multiple proportions – states that when two elements combine to form two or more compounds, the mass of one element that combines with a given mass of the other is in the ratio of small whole numbers • Law of conservation of mass – states that mass cannot be created or destroyed in ordinary chemical and physical changes
Dalton’s Theory • All matter is composed of extremely small particles called atoms, which cannot be subdivided, created, or destroyed. • Atoms of a given element are identical in their physical and chemical properties. • Atoms of different elements differ in their physical and chemical properties. • Atoms of different elements combine in simple, whole-number ratios to form compounds. • In chemical reactions, atoms are combined, separated, or rearranged but never created, destroyed, or changed.
Discovery of the Subatomic Particles • Electrons – Discovered using Cathode Rays by English Physicist J.J. Thomson. • Nucleus – Discovered by Ernest Rutherford using Gold-foil experiment
Atomic Structure • Atoms are composed of 2 regions: • Nucleus: the center of the atom that contains the mass of the atom • Electron cloud: region that surrounds the nucleus that contains most of the space in the atom Nucleus Electron Cloud
What’s in the Nucleus? • The nucleus contains 2 of the 3 subatomic particles: • Protons: positively charged subatomic particles • Neutrons: neutrally charged subatomic particles
What’s in the Electron Cloud? • The 3rd subatomic particle resides outside of the nucleus in the electron cloud • Electron: the subatomic particle with a negative charge and relatively no mass
How do these particles interact? • Protons and neutrons live compacted in the tiny positively charged nucleus accounting for most of the mass of the atom • The negatively charged electrons are small and have a relatively small mass but occupy a large volume of space outside the nucleus
How do the subatomic particles balance each other? In an atom: • The protons = the electrons • If 20 protons are present in an atom then 20 electrons are there to balance the overall charge of the atom—atoms are neutral • The neutrons have no charge; therefore they do not have to equal the number of protons or electrons
Periodic Table Atomic Number: Number of protons and it is also the number of electrons in an atom of an element. 8 O Element’s Symbol:An abbreviation for the element. Oxygen Elements Name 15.999 Atomic Mass/Weight: Number of protons + neutrons.
How do we know the number of subatomic particles in an atom? • Atomic number: this number indicates the number of protons in an atom • Ex: Hydrogen’s atomic number is 1 • So hydrogen has 1 proton • Ex: Carbon’s atomic number is 6 • So carbon has 6 protons **The number of protons identifies the atom. Ex. 2 protons = He, 29 protons = Cu
Learning Check State the number of protons in each. • A nitrogen atom • 5 protons • 7 protons • 14 protons • A sulfur atom • 32 protons • 16 protons • 6 protons
How do we know the number of subatomic particles in an atom? • Mass number: the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus • Ex: hydrogen can have a mass of 3. Since it has 1 proton it must have 2 neutrons • # of neutrons = mass # - atomic #
Determining the number of protons and neutrons Li has a mass number of 7 and an atomic number of 3 • Protons = 3 (same as atomic #) • Neutrons= 7-3 = 4 (mass # - atomic #) • Ne has a mass number of 20 and an atomic number of 10 • Protons = • Neutrons =
What about the electrons? • The electrons are equal to the number of protons • So e- = p = atomic # • Ex: He has a mass # of 4 and an atomic # of 2 • p+ = 2 • no = 2 • e- =2
Determine the number of subatomic particles in the following: • Cl has a mass # of 35 and an atomic # of 17 • p+ = no = e- = • K has a mass # of 39 and an atomic # of 19 • P+ = no = e- =
An atom refresher • An atom has three parts: • Proton = positive • Neutron = no charge • Electron = negative • The proton & neutron are found in the center of the atom, a place called the nucleus. • The electrons orbit the nucleus. Picture from http://education.jlab.org/qa/atom_model_03.gif
States of Matter • The Kinetic Theory 1. All matter is composed of small particles (atoms, molecules, or ions). 2. They are in constant, random motion. 3. They constantly collide with each other and with the walls of their container.

What is a Physical Change? • A physical change alters the form of a substance, but does not change it to another substance. Example: Making Orange Juice
What is a Chemical Change? • When a substance undergoes a chemical change, it is changed into a different substance with different properties. Example: Baking a Cake
5 Signs of a Chemical Change • Color Change • Precipitation Precipitation – the solid that forms from a solution during a chemical reaction. It looks like a cloudy solid in an otherwise clear solution.
5 Signs of a Chemical Change • Gas Production • Temperature Change • Changes in Characteristic Properties (odor, light given off)
