Unit 1: Materials: Formulating Matter Section A: Building Blocks of Chemistry
Properties • Physical Properties: properties that can be determined without altering the chemical makeup of the material • color, density and odor • Physical changes: the identity of the substance is not changed • melting, boiling and bending
Properties • Chemical properties: properties that involve transforming the substance into new materials • reactivity with acids • tendency to rust
Properties • Chemical change: the identity of one or more substances changes and one or more new substances are formed
Indications of a Chemical Reaction • Giving off heat & light
Indications of a Chemical Reaction • Production of a gas
Indications of a Chemical Reaction • Formation of a precipitate
Indications of a chemical reaction • Change in color. (sumac leaves change color when chlorophyll is destroyed)
Chemical Symbols and Formulas • Chemical symbols- see periodic table • Represent elements (made of atoms of one element) • Example: Al, Na, Pb • Chemical formulas- represent compounds • Compounds- made from chemical combination of elements • Example: NaCl, C6H12O6
Symbols and Formulas • Name the number and type of atoms in AgNO3 (NH4)2CO3 H2O
Chemical Equation • Reactants Products • Example: H2 + O2 H2O Hydrogen and oxygen make water
The Chemical Elements • Metals: most of the elements on the periodic table • hard and shiny • conductive • malleable • ductile • Examples: iron, tin, zinc and copper
The Chemical Elements • Nonmetals: • generally gases or brittle solids • nonconductive • Examples: carbon and oxygen
The Chemical Elements • Metalloids: elements with properties of both metals and nonmetals • Found on the “stair step line” • silicon and germanium
