CHEMISTRY
- the study of substances such as these, in fact, chemistry is the study of all
substances and the changes that they can undergo.
- Chemistry plays a role in many fields. Chemistry has been called the central
science because it overlaps so many sciences.
MATTER
CLASSIFICATION OF MATTER
Pure substance is a classification of matter that has a definite composition and
distinct properties. A pure substance can either be an element or a compound.
- ELEMENTS - the simplest pure substances.
- The smallest particle of an element that has the properties of that element
is an atom.
- COMPOUND - pure substances that are made of more than one element
bound together.
- A molecule is formed when two or more atoms chemically combine.
Mixture - made up of two or more substances combined physically in variable
proportions. In the formation of a mixture, components retain their properties and
can be separated through physical means.
- HETEROGENOUS MIXTURES - All components of the mixture are visible because
they do not mix together. Particles not distributed evenly
- EX: sand and water, vegetable soup, oil and water
- HOMOGENOUS MIXTURES - Components cannot be distinguished from each
other, appear as one substance. Particles distributed evenly throughout
- EX: air, salt water, 10 karat gold
MODULE 2
PROPERTIES OF MATTER - Properties of matter generally pertain to a particular
substance' s characteristics that set it apart from other substances.
MIXTURE
When two or more materials or substances are mixed together but do not
chemically combine.
This means they retain their original properties.
This means they can be separated by physical means.
SEDIMENTATION – The process by which insoluble heavy particles in a liquid are allowed
to settle down.
MAGNETIC SEPARATION – the process of separating elemental metals from other particles
in a mixture. This process uses a magnet that exerts magnetic force to attract metallic
particles and sets them apart from a specific mixture
EVAPORATION - The process involves heating the solution until the solvent evaporates
(turns into gas), leaving behind the solid residue.

2. All atoms of a given element are alike but are different from the atoms of any other element.
4. Compounds are formed when atoms of different elements combine in fixed proportions.
ATOMS - The building blocks of matter. They are the smallest particles of an element
that still have the element' s properties.
All the atoms of a given element are identical in that they have the same number
of protons, one of the building blocks of atoms. They are also different from the
atoms of all other elements, as atoms of different elements have varying numbers
of protons.
- Performed the gold foil experiment in 1909, with the hypothesis that alpha rays
should pass through the plum pudding- like structure of the gold.
- He observed that some alpha rays were deflected at a regular pattern .
- He concluded that the atom has a very positive nucleus at its center.
- 1.602 x 10^19 coulomb, mass of the proton
SUBATOMIC PARTICLES
PERIODIC TABLE - displays all of the known elements and is arranged in order of
increasing atomic number.
MASS NUMBER - defined as the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom. It
can be calculated by adding the number of neutrons and protons (atomic number)
together.
FORMULA:
ISOTOPES - atoms with the same atomic number but different mass numbers due to
a change in the number of neutrons.
While the presence of isotopes affects the mass of an atom, it does not affect
its chemical reactivity. Chemical behavior is governed by the number of electrons
and the number of protons. Carbon- 13 behaves chemically in precisely the same
way as the more plentiful carbon- 12.
MODULE 5
Molecules - a particle that consists of at least two atoms.
IONS
CHEMICAL FORMULA - made up of the elements and its corresponding relative number
in a compound. It is used to express the composition of molecules and compounds in
terms of chemical symbols.
- The structural formula shows how atoms are bonded to one another in a molecule.
It is best represented using molecular models like the ball- and- stick model and
the space- filling model.
- In the ball- and- stick model kits, the atoms are
represented by color- coded plastic balls with holes
in them. The sticks represent the chemical bonds.
In spacefilling models, the atoms are represented
by connected balls; hence the bonds are not visible.
The balls are proportional to the size of the atoms.
