The smallest way to describe our Earth CHemistry
Atoms • This is the smallest unit of an element having the same properties of that element • Arrangement and types of atoms give matter its properties
Elements • Elements are a substance that can not be broken down into a simpler form • All the elements can be found on the periodic table. • There are 94 elements that are naturally occurring in nature. Hydrogen- plutonium. All the rest are man-made.
Elements • The elements after bismuth (element 83) the elements are not very stable and begin to decay
Elements • A single atom of an element is made up of 3 basic parts: protons, neutrons, and electrons • Protons and Neutrons are concentrated in the middle of the atom • The electrons rotate around the atom
Elements • Protons are particles that have a postive electric charge • Neutrons are particles that have no electric charge (neutral) • Electrons are particles that have a negative electric charge
Mass and Atomic numbers • The atomic mass is equal to the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom • The atomic number is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus
Elements • In a neutral atom (an atom with a neutral charge) will have the same number of protons and electrons • In a neutral atom the number of neutrons can vary but unless specified differently will also be the same as protons.
Compounds • Compounds are substances that are made up of two or more elements chemically combined that cannot be separated physically • Compounds are held together by chemical bonds
Chemical Bonds • Chemical Bond- Foces that hold together the atoms that combine to make up a compound • Types of chemical bonds: Covalent bonds and ionic bonds
Types of Bonds • Ionic bonds are a combination of oppistely charged ions • Ions are electrically charged atoms • Atoms become ions by losing or gaining electrons • If an atom gains electrons it is negatively charged • If an atom loses electrons it is positively charged
Types of Bonds • Covalent bonds is the attraction of two atoms through a sharing of electrons. • Water is an example of a covalent bond
Mixing things up • Mixture is many different types of objects mixed together. • This is not a bond. These objects are just mixed together
Mixing things up • A type of mixture that deals with dissolving substances. • Ex. Salt water, coffee, Tea with sugar
Mixing things up • Heterogeneous mixture is a combination of materials that are easily recognizable. • Ex. Soil • Homogeneous mixtures are a combination of materials that are not easily recognizable. • Ex. Milk
Matter • As we have talked about before matter is anything that takes up space and has a mass • In other words, it has a volume and weighs something.
Matter • Matter has two different properties that you need to be able to distinguish between; physical and chemical properties
Physical Properties • Physical properties are those that you can observe without changing a substance into a new substance • Ex. Color, shape, odor, density
Chemical Properties • Chemical properties are those that descrbe how one substance changes when reacting with another substance • Ex. Rusting of Iron, burning of wood
4 States of Matter • There are four states of matter in which they can exist: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma • Each has its own way of forming the atoms of a certain substance
Solids • Solids are formed by atoms or molecules that are in a fixed position relative to each other • Atoms are molecules are strongly attracted to each other and resist being separated • Set Shape and set Volume
Types of Solids • Crystalline structures- have regular shapes and may cleave along well-defined surfaces • Glasses- They do not break along well defined surfaces. Shatter or break into lots of tiny pieces.
Liquids • Liquids is a type of matter where the atoms or molecules remain close to one another, but are fee to change positions with each other. • This allows liquid to flow as it takes the shape of its container • Set Volume but takes shape of container
Gases • Gases contain atoms or molecules that have very little attractive force on each other • Fill entire container no matter how large or small • NO set volume and No set shape
Plasma • This is matter heated to temperatures much higher than we normally see. • Plasmas are composed of ions and free electrons • You can find these in lightning bolts, florescent lights, and even stars
