MATTER & ENERGY Matter is the part of the universe that has mass and volume Energy is the part of the universe that has the ability to do work Chemistry is the study of matter The properties of different types of matter The way matter behaves when influenced by other matter and/or energy 3
8
Matter Anything that has mass and takes up space (volume) Examples:
A brick has mass and takes up space A desk has mass and takes up space A pencil has mass and takes up space Air has mass and takes up space All of the above examples are considered matter because they have mass and take up space. Can you think of anything that would not be considered matter?

Isotopes Atoms that have the same number of protons, but have different numbers of neutrons Examples Notice that each of these atoms have one proton; therefore they are all types of hydrogen. They just have a different mass number (# of neutrons). - - + + + - Hydrogen (Protium) Hydrogen (Deuterium) Hydrogen (Tritium)
22
Ion Charged particle that typically results from a loss or gain of electrons Two types: Anion = negatively charged particle Cation = positively charged particle - - - + - = 8 + + + + - - 9 6 + + - - Now that three electrons were lost, the number of electrons (6) and protons (8) is still unbalanced; therefore, it is still an ion, but now it is specifically referred to as a cation. Now that this atom of oxygen just gained an electron, it is no longer neutral or an atom. It is now considered an ion (anion). This ion has more electrons (9) than protons (8). Currently, this atom of oxygen is neutral because it has an equal number of electrons (8) and protons (8). - - Symbol = O1- Symbol = O2+ Symbol = O
23
Atomic Theory Because we can not see atoms, we use models to teach and learn about atoms. The atomic theory has changed over time as new technologies have become available. Remember: Scientific knowledge builds on past research and experimentation.
24
Atomic Theory Timeline
Scientist Information Model John Dalton All matter is made of atoms. Atoms are too small to see, indivisible and indestructible. All atoms of a given element are identical.
25
Atomic Theory Timeline
Scientist Information Model J.J Thompson Discovered the negative electron, and predicted that there also must be a positive particle to hold the electrons in place.
26
Atomic Theory Timeline
Scientist Information Model Ernest Rutherford Discovered the nucleus of an atom and named the positive particles in the nucleus “protons”. Concluded that electrons are scattered in empty space around the nucleus.
27
Atomic Theory Timeline
Scientist Information Model James Chadwick Discovered that neutrons were also located in the nucleus of an atoms and that they contain no charge. Neutrons
28
Atomic Theory Timeline
Scientist Information Model Neils Bohr Concluded that electrons are located in planet-like orbits around the nucleus in certain energy levels.
29
Scientist Information Model
(Many Scientists!) The Modern Atomic Theory Electrons do not orbit the nucleus in neat planet-like orbits but move at high speeds in an electron cloud around the nucleus.

Electrons & the Periodic Table
Electrons in all atoms are arranged around the nucleus in regions called energy levels The largest atoms have as many as seven energy levels Energy Levels
42
Electrons & the Periodic Table
The outermost energy level is called the valence shell The electrons in the valence shell are called valence electrons Energy Levels
43
Electrons & the Periodic Table
Elements are grouped because they have similar properties In some groups, the elements all have the same number of valence electrons in their atoms
44
Electrons & the Periodic Table
In atoms of elements in Groups 1 & 2, the number of valence electrons matches the group number
45
Electrons & the Periodic Table
In atoms of elements in Groups 13-18, the number of valence electrons is 10 fewer than the group number
46
Electrons & the Periodic Table
Atoms of elements in Groups 3-12, the Transition Metals, do not follow a general rule In addition, helium atoms only have 2 valence electrons
47
Why Do I Need the Periodic Table?
What Do You Think? What similarities exist between you and the other members of your family? How about between you and your classmates?
48
Grouping the Elements - Group 1
Group 1: Alkali Metals- 1 Valence Electron All metals except Hydrogen, the Group 1 elements, are the most reactive.
49
Grouping the Elements - Group 1
Group 1: Alkali Metals- 1 Valence Electron This means that the atoms of these elements are not stable and will lend valence electrons to other atoms.
50
Grouping the Elements - Group 1
Group 1: Alkali Metals- 1 Valence Electron These elements are never found uncombined in nature.
51
Grouping the Elements - Group 1
Alkali Metals Compounds formed from Alkali metals have many uses for humans NaCl, or Sodium Chloride, is table salt that is used to season your food Potassium compounds are found in bananas
52
Grouping the Elements - Group 2
Group 2: Alkaline-Earth Metals- 2 Valence Electrons Alkaline-Earth metals are very reactive, but not as reactive as Alkali metals.
53
Grouping the Elements - Group 2
Group 2: Alkaline-Earth Metals- 2 Valence Electrons This is because it is harder for their atoms to lose 2 valence electrons than for the Alkali metals to lose 1
54
Grouping the Elements - Group 2
Group 2: Alkaline Earth Metals Magnesium is mixed with other metals to make rims on cars. Calcium is an important part of the compound that keeps your bones and teeth healthy.
55
Grouping the Elements Groups 3-12
Groups 3-12: Transition Metals Groups 3-12 do not have individual names.
56
Groups 3-12 are all grouped together as the Transition Metals.
57
Groups 3-12 The Transition Metals are less reactive than Groups 1 & 2 because they don’t lose their valence electrons as easily. Groups 3-12
58
Silver and Gold are Transition Metals.
Grouping the Elements Silver and Gold are Transition Metals.
59
Grouping the Elements Transition Metals Iron, Cobalt, and Nickel, all Transition Metals, are the only elements known to produce a magnetic field.
60
The most common element from Group 13 is aluminum.
Group 13: Boron Group The most common element from Group 13 is aluminum.
61
Group 13 Aluminum was considered more precious than gold or silver until the 1880s, when plentiful electricity made it cheaper. Aluminum is used to make cans, cars, and airplanes.
62
The nonmetal Carbon, in Group 14, is often found uncombined in nature.
Group 14: Carbon Group The nonmetal Carbon, in Group 14, is often found uncombined in nature.
63
Group 14 Carbon forms both diamonds and charcoal. Carbon also forms a wide variety of compounds such as proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, all necessary for life on earth.
64
Group 15 Group 15: Nitrogen Group Nitrogen, a gas at room temperature, makes up about 78% of the air you breathe.
65
Nitrogen from the air is combined with Hydrogen to make fertilizer.
Group 15 Group 15: Nitrogen Group Nitrogen from the air is combined with Hydrogen to make fertilizer. Fertilizer helps grow the crops that feed us all.
66
Oxygen, in Group 16, makes up about 21% of the air you breathe.
Oxygen is very reactive, combining with many other elements such as iron and carbon.
67
Group 16 Sulfur, another common member of Group 16, is used to make sulfuric acid for car batteries.
68
Halogens are the very reactive nonmetals in Group 17.
They react easily because their atoms only need to gain 1 electron to have a complete set
69
Group 17 Chlorine is a yellow halogen that is used to disinfect water for drinking and swimming
70
Noble gases are unreactive nonmetals in Group 18.
These elements’ atoms have full outermost energy levels, and cannot react with other elements
71
Noble gases like neon glow when electrically charged.
Group 18 Noble gases like neon glow when electrically charged. Argon in a light bulb keeps the filament from burning out.

The Periodic Table Objective:
To learn the symbols and properties of 20 elements in the periodic table.
75
The Periodic Table is a useful way to arrange elements.
The vertical columns are called groups. The horizontal rows are called periods. Elements in the same group have similar properties. Three quarters of the elements are metals. One quarter of the elements are non-metals.
76
Rules for chemical symbols in the periodic table:
The symbol is usually the first one or two letters of the name. Sometimes the old (Latin) name is used . The first letter of a symbol id always a capital letter. The second letter of a symbol is always a small letter. Every element has a different symbol.
77
