Distinguish between atoms and molecules

• atom (page 313)• smallest unit of an element

that maintains the properties of the element.

Two parts• nucleus (page 316) – tiny,

extremely dense, positively charged, center of the atom– contains most of mass

• electron cloud (page 317) – regions where electrons are likely to be found– contains most of volume

• The atom is mostly empty space.

Particle Symbol Location Charge

proton p+ nucleus 1+

neutron no nucleus none (0)

electron e- electroncloud

atomic number• Number of protons

= number of electrons• Identifies the element.• Locate on the periodic table.1) How many protons does carbon have? 2) How many electrons does carbon

have? 3) What element has 20 protons? 4) What element has 16 electrons?

Answers1) How many protons does carbon

have? (6) 2) How many electrons does carbon

have? (6) 3) What element has 20 protons?

(calcium) 4) What element has 16 electrons?

(sulfur)

molecule• Two or more atoms

bonded together

Describe the difference between pure substances

(elements & compounds)and mixtures.

Summarize

• Substances cannot be broken down by physical changes.–Elements cannot be broken down (by

physical or chemical means).–Compounds can be broken down by

chemical reactions.

• Mixtures (combination of two or more substances that are not chemically combined). They can be separated by physical changes.

plasma• Add enough energy

so some electronsare removed (free).

• Positive atomfragments (ions)remain.

Distinguish between physical and chemical properties of matter

• Physical properties can be observed directly without changing the identity of the matter.

• Chemical properties cannot be observed directly without changing the identity of the matter.

Physical properties• state of matter• melting point• boiling point• conductor -

insulator• soluble –

insoluble

• ductile• malleable• brittle• texture• hardness• density• temperature

Chemical Properties• REACTIVITY• Will it rust or tarnish?• Flammable or nonflammable?

(Inflammable is not the antonym)• Combustible or incombustible?

Distinguish between physical and chemical changes in matter

• Physical changes: identity of the matter DOES NOT change.

• Chemical changes: identity of the matter changes.

physical changes• changes in

state (melting, freezing, boiling, evaporation, condensation, sublimation, deposition)

• cutting, chopping• crushing• sanding smooth• dissolving• clay changing

shape

chemical change• aka: chemical reaction• burning/combustion• rusting/tarnishing• one substance another

substance

evidence of a chemical change

• gas formation• solid (precipitate)

formation• color change

Recognize that there are more than 100 elements

and some have similar properties as shown on the Periodic Table of Elements.

Law of Conservation of Matter

• Matter cannot be created or destroyed in an ordinary chemical or physical change.

• mass at beginning = mass at the end.
