SEPARATION OF MATTER THE ATOMIC - MOLECULAR THEORY OF MATTER • Matter is separated into three states: SOLID, LIQUID, & GAS. • Matter can also be broken down into distinct materials, each category representing a specific type of material. A flow chart will show the linking of these types of materials.
The Atomic-Molecular Theory of Matter*definitions* • Matter : occupies space and has weight. • Energy : the ability to do work • Materials: a particular type of matter, generic term. • Mixture: has variable composition, can be separated by physical methods. • Heterogeneous mixture: has properties which vary from region to region, can be separated into a homogeneous mixture or a substance. • Homogeneous mixture: uniform properties throughout, also called a solution. Can be separated into substances.

The Atomic-Molecular Theory of Matter A “microscopic” view
The Atomic-Molecular Theory of Matter • (Pure) substance: a material which can not be separated by physical methods into 2 or more materials which have different characteristics. • Compounds: a material containing two or more elements or molecules. • Molecules: the smallest grouping which a substance can be divided into without forming a new substance, a group of 2 or more atoms held together by strong forces called "bonds". • Atoms: the smallest particle of matter which has distinctive chemical characteristics, generic term, composed of a nucleus surrounded by electrons. • Elements: a specific substance which can not be decomposed into simpler substances by chemical means, an atom with a specific number of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
The Atomic-Molecular Theory of Matter • Nucleus: the small positively charged kernel, composed of protons and neutrons. • Protons: a positively charged particle, has a mass = 1.67 x 10-27 kg or 1 amu (atomic mass unit) usually symbolized as H+ or p+. • Neutrons: neutral particles with the same mass as the proton, contributes weight but no charge. • Electrons: a negatively charged particle, has a mass = 9.1 x 10-31 kg (1/1837 amu) usually symbolized as e-.
The Atomic-Molecular Theory of Matter • Physical properties: characteristics of a material which may be determined without altering the composition of the material; bp (boiling point), mp, color, density etc., no change in the chemical identity occurs. • Chemical properties: characteristics of a material which involves altering the composition of the material, the ability to form new substances by decomposition or reactions with other substances. A rearrangement of the atoms. • Phase: a sample of matter that is uniform throughout, both in its chemical composition and its physical state. • Chemical Bonds: the attractive forces, “ the glue”, strong enough to maintain a group of atoms together for an indefinite amount of time.
Physical Changes: The substance or mixture does not alter in atomic composition. Some Physical Changes are boiling, evaporation, condensation, freezing, melting, sublimation, and deposition. Associated with Physical Changes are Physical Properties like boiling or freezing point, density, hardness, and state of matter. H2O (l) H2O (g) Chemical Changes: The substance changes in its atomic composition, the atoms are rearranged and new substances are formed. 2 H2O (l) 2 H2 (g)+ O2(g)
Chemical structure: the position and geometry of the atoms in a molecule.
