What is the mass of a proton?
1 AMU or 1.66 x 10^-27
What is the mass of an electron?
Mass is so small it is (mostly) irrelevant
What is the mass of a neutron?
1 AMU or 1.66 x 10^-27
Atomic number (Z)
Number of protons.
Is the identifying number of the atom
Cation
positive
Anion
negative
Compounds
More than one kind of atom in a fixed ratio by mass
Molecules
groups of atoms chemically bonded together into a discrete unit by covalent bonds.
Net neutral charge.
Ionic compounds
contain both positive and negatively charged ions with no identifiable units.
Attracted by charges and are not molecules
Can a substance be both a molecule and an element?
Yes; oxygen for example
Physical change
No change in the chemical makeup.
Ex. melting ice
Chemical change
Always makes a chemically different substance
Intensive physical property
Integral to the material, regardless of amount
Extensive physical property
Depends on sample size.
Ex: volume.
Substances
Pure materials that can’t be physically seperated into simpler components.
Mixtures
2 or more pure substances.
Can be physically separated
What is the only element that does not contain a neutron?
Hydrogen
Mass Number (A)
Atomic Number plus number of neutrons.
Basically, protons plus neutrons
Elements will have the same amount of protons/neutrons/electrons?
Protons and electrons
Left side of table
Metals: Ductile malleable conductors. give away electrons
Right side of table
Non-metals:
do not conduct.
tend to be brittle
can be liquids/solids/gases
Along the ladder
Metalloids: intermediates shiny less malleable conduct but not well
Aluminum
silvery white metal.
found in antiperspirant.
Avoid in dialysis pt.
Does not clear body well.
Barium
GI studies.
Toxic, but excreted easily
