Matter Matter is anything that has mass and volume. Matter is made of atoms. May be atoms all of one kind--Elements May be atoms of different kinds bonded together-Compounds

Atomic Models Atom models Rutherford model Bohr model mostly empty space with nucleus at the center & electrons orbiting Bohr model electrons moving in set paths that determine their energy levels electrons change energy levels when they gain or lose energy Schrodinger model known as electron cloud model electron position and speed & direction are described in terms of probability

ATOMIC STRUCTURE Parts of an atom Proton Neutron Electron positive charge located in the nucleus mass 1.67 x 10-27 kg = 1 atomic mass unit (amu.) Neutron no charge 1.67 x 10-27 kg = 1 amu Electron negative charge located outside the nucleus mass 9.11 x 10-31 kg = 0 amu

Neutral atoms Atoms may be neutral (no charge) +protons= -electrons.

Ions Atoms can be ions (atoms with an overall + or – charge) An ion has gained or lost an electron. Gaining an electron gives the atom an overall negative charge. Losing an electron gives the atom an overall positive charge.

Write down the definition for each Nuclear fission-the nucleus of an atom splits apart into smaller nuclei, releasing energy. Nuclear fusion-nuclei of smaller atoms join together to form a larger nucleus, releasing energy.

Nuclear Reactions Give off energy in the form of light, heat and gamma radiation. Fission happens on Earth in nuclear reactors and in naturally radioactive elements found within the earth’s crust. Fusion occurs in the core of stars and is the reason why stars shine and give off heat.

Our sun Each second, the sun transforms 700 million tons of hydrogen gas into 695 million tons of helium gas through the nuclear reaction of fusion. The remaining 5 million tons of matter (about 600 times the weight of water flowing over Niagara Falls in one second) escape as pure energy.

Stellar Fusion http://heasarc.nasa.gov/docs/xmm_lc/lessons/background-lifecycles.html

A star's life cycle is determined by its mass A star's life cycle is determined by its mass. The larger its mass, the shorter its life cycle. A star's mass is determined by the amount of matter that is available in its nebula, the giant cloud of gas and dust from which it was born. Over time, the hydrogen gas in the nebula is pulled together by gravity and it begins to spin. As the gas spins faster, it heats up and becomes as a protostar. http://www.nasa.gov/images/content/107455main_region_88_lgweb.jpg

Eventually the temperature reaches 15,000,000 degrees Celsius and nuclear fusion occurs in the cloud's core. The cloud begins to glow brightly, contracts a little, and becomes stable. It is now a main sequence star and will remain in this stage, shining for millions to billions of years to come. This is the stage our Sun is at right now. http://www.nrl.navy.mil/NewsRoom/images/sun.jpg

A scientific theory A scientific theory is when scientists have tested a group of related hypotheses many times and the hypotheses (remember, a hypothesis is an explanation for an observations about nature) are supported by data. Scientific ideas are not considered theories until they are generally accepted principles that explain a vast number of observations and experimental data. Examples of scientific theories include: the Atomic Theory, the Theory of Natural Selection, the Theory of Plate Tectonics as well as many other widely supported and accepted scientific principles. “They’re the big ideas in science,” explains Niles Eldredge, a paleontologist at the Museum of Natural History. “They’re taken very, very seriously.” Eugenie Scott, executive director of the National Center for Science Education, says, “Theories explain laws and facts. They’re the most important thing we do in science.” And Ken Miller, a biologist at Brown University and well-known lecturer on evolution, says a theory is the result of large collections of facts put into an explanatory framework.

The Big Bang Theory The Big Bang Theory is the dominant scientific theory about the origin of the universe. According to the big bang, the universe was created sometime between 10 billion and 20 billion years ago from a cosmic explosion that hurled matter and in all directions. The original matter was small and dense, but we don’t know what it was. The big bang was initially suggested because it explains why distant galaxies are traveling away from us at great speeds. The theory also predicts the existence of cosmic background radiation (the glow left over from the explosion itself). The Big Bang Theory received its strongest confirmation when this radiation was discovered in 1964.

It explains why distant galaxies are traveling away from us at great speeds=expanding. It also predicts the existence of cosmic background radiation-the glow left over from the explosion itself.(1964)

The Expanding Universe More than anything else, breaking down the light from celestial objects into its constituent colors has helped us understand the universe. A spectrum can tell astronomers what an object is made of, how hot it is, how fast it is moving, and a host of other important attributes. Spectroscopy has revealed the great abundance of hydrogen and helium in the universe—providing observational support for the big-bang theory—and showed the relative amounts of the other elements since cooked up in stars.

Red-shifted Stars     Just as important, spectroscopy revealed the expansion of the universe. When an object moves away from us, the lines in its spectrum get displaced toward longer wavelengths, with the amount of this so-called redshift proportional to the object’s velocity. Edwin Hubble first showed that the spectrum of almost every galaxy is shifted to the red, and that the farther away the galaxy, the greater the redshift. From these observations, cosmologists correctly deduced that the universe is expanding. What would show that galaxies are getting closer to us? Staying the same distance away? How would it be possible to be staying the same distance away if the Big Bang Theory was true?

Edwin Hubble first showed that the spectrum of almost every galaxy is shifted to the red, and that the farther away the galaxy, the greater the redshift. Red-shift shows that the universe is expanding. Blue-shift would show objects moving toward us.

Absorption lines in the optical spectrum of a supercluster of distant galaxies (right), as compared to absorption lines in the optical spectrum of the Sun (left). Arrows indicate redshift. Wavelength increases up towards the red and beyond (frequency decreases).

Hubble’s Law By the late 1920s, Edwin Hubble had been taking spectra and measuring distances to a large number of galaxies. From each spectrum he learned the galaxy’s redshift, which told him how fast it was moving away from Earth, then he compared that with the object’s distance. What he found set the stage for much of 20th-century cosmology: the farther away the galaxy, the faster it receded. This relation—that a galaxy’s speed is directly proportional to its distance—became known as Hubble’s Law. It was observational proof that we live in an expanding universe, and it helped lay the foundation for the big-bang theory of the universe’s origin.
