  1. CHEMISTRY NOTES VOIGT, 7TH GRADE PALMETTO SCHOLARS ACADEMY

  2. ATOMS • Atoms have mass and take up space • They are the smallest part of an element that has the properties of that element • They’re too small to be seen with a microscope

  3. Elements • These are pure substances that can’t be changed into simpler substances • Elements are composed of one type of atom

  4. Compounds • Pure substances composed of two or more elements that are chemically combined • Compounds can only be broken down into their basic elements through chemical changes • If two elements share an electron, then they form a bond called a covalent bond to form a compound • When a covalent bond is formed, the result is a MOLECULE

  5. Mixtures • Mixtures are composed of two or more elements that are physically combined but still retain their own individual properties • They can be separated by filtration, sifting, or evaporation • May be heterogeneous or homogeneous • Heterogeneous means that it is NOT unform throughout the mixture • Homogeneous means that it is uniform throughout the mixture; particles are so small that they can’t be easily seen; homogeneous mixture is also called a solution

  6. Graphic Organizer

  7. Metals vs. Nonmetals • These are two different groups with specific properties • Properties of Metals: • Luster – shiny or reflect light brightly • Conductors – Heat & electricity move through them easily • Malleable – Ability to be hammered into different shapes • Ductile – Ability to be drawn into a wire • High density – Heavy for their size

  8. Metals vs. Nonmetals • Properties of non-metals • Dull – Not shiny • Nonconductors – Heat and electricity do not move through them easily • Brittle – break or shatter easily

  9. Periodic Table • Horizontal row on the table is called a period • Elements are arranged in increasing order of atomic number • Families are vertical columns of elements and have similar properties • Metals are on the left side of the table, nonmetals are on the right

  10. Symbols • You must memorize the following symbols and names for these elements: • Na – Sodium • Cl – Chlorine • H – Hydrogen • O – Oxygen • C – Carbon • N -- Nitrogen

  11. Compounds and Chemical Formulas • Compounds are made of more than one element and have formulas showing the different elements and numbers of atoms in those elements • Subscript is small number written to the lower right of the element symbol and represents how many of each kind of atom are in the compound • If no subscript is written, only one atom of that element exist

  12. Let’s Practice! • Write down how many atoms are in each compound! Write down each compound and break it down into how many atoms of each element are present in each compound. • Answers are on next slide!

  13. Answers • Na -1; O – 1; H-1 • Na – 1; Cl – 1 • N – 1; H – 3 • C – 1; O - 2 • H – 2; O – 2 • H – 2; O – 1 • Ca – 1; Cl - 2 • C – 1; H – 4 • Cu – 1; S – 1; O – 4 • H – 1; Cl – 1 • Fe – 1; O – 2 • C – 6; H – 12; O – 6 • H – 2; S – 1; O - 4

  14. Chemical Equations -- Used to represent a chemical reaction that has occurred -- Contains the elements or formulas involved in the reaction --An arrow is used to distnguish between the substances that are broken down or combined from the substances formed in a reaction This equation reads: 2 H2 + O2 YIELDS 2 water molecules.

  15. Law of Conservation of Matter • Matter cannot be created or destroyed • The number of atoms in reactants must equal the number in products • Equation is “BALANCED” when that occurs
