Chemistry

Matter
- anything that takes up space
- anything that has mass or weight
- anything that has a state

Particles Composing Matter


 Atoms
- Smallest unit of an element (living/non-living)
- Consist of a nucleus, which contains protons and neutrons, surrounded by a cloud of
electrons.
 Molecules
- Made up of atoms of the same element.
 Ions
- Particles that have gained or lost one or more of their valence electrons.
- Charged particles (+,-)

Particle Arrangement
 Solid
- Arranged in a regular shape
- Compact
 Liquid
- No regular arrangement
- Particles in contact and slide over each other
 Gas
- Random arrangement
- Very far apart
- Weak forces between particles
- Can move in all directions

Molecular Arrangement Transforms Through Energy Reactions

 Melting (Solid to Liquid)


- Ice melting into liquid water
 Candle wax melting Solidification/Freezing (Liquid to Solid)
- Liquid water freezing
- Molten lava solidifying
 Evaporation (Liquid to Gas)
- Puddles of water drying up on a hot summer day.
- Wet clothes drying on a clothesline.
 Condensation (Gas to Liquid)
- Water vapor in the air condensing into tiny water droplets.
- Morning dew forming on grass and leaves as the air cools during the night.
 Sublimation (Solid to Gas)
- Dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) sublimating directly into carbon dioxide gas without
melting.
- Mothballs slowly disappearing over time.
- Iodine
 Deposition (Gas to Solid)
- Ex. Snowflakes, Frost
 Transpiration- Evaporation of water through plants
- water droplets forming on the leaves of a plant on a hot day
 Precipitation- Form of water, liquid or solid, that falls from the atmosphere to the Earth's surface
- Ex. rain, snow, sleet, and hail
 Endothermic Reaction
- A reaction that the system absorbs from its surrounding in the form of heat.
- Ex. Boiling water, meting ice, photosynthesis in plants
 Exothermic Reaction
- A reaction that releases energy from the system in the form of heat.
- Ex. Fireplace
Other States of Matter
 Plasma
- Unique and high energy state of matter
- Exists at extremely high temperature
- In the presence of intense electromagnetic waves
- Ex. Stars, plasma tv
 Bose-Einstein Condensate
- Occurs at extremely low temperature (near ablsolute zero)
- Composed of Bosons
- Ex. Universe, superfluidity, superconductivity
 Fermionic Condensate
- Composed of fermions
- Extreme cooling
- Can occur in a mixture of different fermionic atoms.

Properties of Matter
 According to changed involved during measurements of the property
a) Physical Properties
 These can be measured and observed without changing the composition of the
substance.
b) Chemical Properties
 These are the ability of a substance to react with other substances such as air,
water, and base.

i. Chemical Change- a chemical


reaction forms a new product.
- Ex. burning, cooking, rusting,
and rotting

ii. Physical Change- matter


changes form but not
chemical identity.
- Ex. boiling, melting, freezing,
and shredding
 According to dependence on amount of matter
a) Intensive Properties
 It does not depend on the size or amount of the sample.
b) Extensive Properties
 These can be affected by the size and amount of samples

Chemical Properties

1. Combustibility- Does it catch fire easily?


2. Stability- Can it decompose easily?
3. Reactivity- Does it react with things like acids, bases, and oxygen?
4. Relative Activity- Is it more or less active than similar substances?
5. Ionization- Does it break into different particles when mixed with water?
6. Toxicity- Can it harm living things?

Pure Substance

1. Element- cannot be broken down into simpler substance


2. Compound- composed of two or more elements combined

Mixture

1. Homogenous- substances are in one state. (solution)


2. Heterogenous- combination of many states. (not uniform)

How to Separate Mixtures

1. Evaporation- Turning liquid into gas. Useful for salt solutions.


2. Filtration- Separating solids and liquids in a mix.
 Residue = What's left on filter paper.
 Filtrate = What’s at the bottom of the funnel.
3. Decantation- Separating solids from liquids.
- Solid to liquid transition.
- Useful for separating liquids in a solution.
4. Distillation- Separating mixtures with different boiling points.
5. Using a Magnet- Separating metals with a magnet.
- Magnetic vs. non-magnetic.
6. Chromatography- Separating complex mixtures.
- Sorts compounds with similar properties.

Pure Substance and Mixtures in Consumer Products

a. Consumer Product- Things you buy for use.


b. Convenience Product- Things lots of people buy regularly.
1. Household Cleaning Materials
- Ex. Bleach
- Zonrox = Sodium Hypochlorite (NaOCl)
- Agua Oxinada = Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2)
2. Personal Care Products
- Stuff for looking good and feeling fresh.
- These products help clean and beautify you.
ATOMS

“The INVISIBLE architects of the VISIBLE universe”


Atomic Models
1. DEMOCRITUS’ ATOMIC MODEL
- He claimed that matter was made of small hard particles called “Atomos.”
2. John Dalton- DALTON’S MODEL
- Dalton viewed atoms as tiny solid balls.
3. Joseph John Thomson
- The atom was made of smaller things.
4. Ernest Rutherford- RUTHERFORD’S ATOMIC MODEL
- Contains small dense nuclear center containing + charges

5. Niels Henrik David Bohr- BOHR’S


ATOMIC MODEL
- Electrons move around the nucleus in specific layers or shells.
6. James Chadwick
- He discovered particles with no charge.
Modern View of Atomic Structure

The atom contains:

a. Electrons- found outside the nucleus; negatively charged.


b. Protons- found in the nucleus; positive charge equal in magnitude to the electron’s negative
charge.
c. Neutrons- found in the nucleus; no charge; virtually the same mass as a proton.

The NUCLEUS is:

- Small compared with the overall size of the atom.


- Extremely dense; accounts for almost all of the atom’s mass.
Ex. A certain isotope X contains 17 protons and 18 neutrons.

What is the number of electrons? 17

Identify the element. Chlorine
