Matter
Anything that has mass and takes up space
states of matter
solid liquid gas
particle theory of matter
- All substances are made up
of tiny particles - All particles in a pure
substance are the same - Particles have spaces
between them - Particles are always in
motion - Particles in a substance are
attracted to each other
Pure substance
All particles that make up
the substance are identical
Element
Pure substance that can not be broken
down into other substances
compound
Chemical combination of
two or more elements
law of conservation and mass
Mass is neither produced nor
destroyed in a chemical reaction
democritus
Believed that matter
was made up of tiny
particles that could not
be divided, atomos,
meaning indivisible
John Dalton
(1766-1844)
Believed that all atoms
were like tiny spheres,
with different
properties and a
variety of sizes
J.J. Thompson
J.J. Thompson (1856-1940)
Discovered the electron
Ernest Rutherford
(1871-1937)
Discovered the
nucleus of the
atom
Described it as
an ant in a
football field
Neils Bohr
(1885-1962)Proposed
electrons
surrounded the
nucleus in
specific energy
levels
metals
- Good conductors
- malleable: can be rolled into sheets
without breaking - ductile: stretched into wires
non metals
- lack resemblance to metals
- all non magnetic
metalloids
- B, Si, Ge, As, Sb, Te, Po, At
*have properties that are intermediate
between metals and non-metals
atom
Smallest part of an element with
properties of the element
proton
a single, relatively
large particle with a
positive charge that is
found in the nucleus
neutron
a single, relatively
large particle with a
neutral charge that is
found in the nucleus
electron
a single, very small
particle with a
negative charge that
is found in a “cloud”
around the nucleus
energy level
Occupied by
electrons and is a
region of space that
may be empty or
contain an electron.
Electrons nearest
the nucleus have
the lowest energy
atomic number
the number of protons
in an atom
(assuming the atom is
neutral, # of p+ = # of e-)
atomic mass number
The total mass of all of the
subatomic particles in an atom
(but really # of protons and
neutrons)
calculating neutrons
To calculate the number of neutrons,
subtract the atomic number (smaller)
from the atomic mass number (larger)
A – Z = # of neutrons
108 - 47 = 61
atomic mass # - atomic # =
# of neutrons
ion
Atoms of the same element that differ in
charge.
(They have the same # of protons, but
different # of electrons)
