3. Periods: 7 horizontal rows. Groups: 18 vertical columns. International standard: 1-18 US system: 1A-8A, 1B-8B

4. Elements and the Periodic Table Metals: Left side of the zigzag line in the periodic table (except for hydrogen). Nonmetals: Right side of the zigzag line in the periodic table. Semimetals (metalloids): Tend to lie along the zigzag line in the periodic table.

7. Some Chemical Properties of the Elements Intensive Properties: Independent of sample size. temperature melting point Extensive Properties: Dependent on sample size. length volume

8. Some Chemical Properties of the Elements Physical Properties: Characteristics that do not involve a change in a sample’s chemical makeup. Chemical Properties: Characteristics that do involve a change in a sample’s chemical makeup.

9. Experimentation and Measurement All other units are derived from these fundamental units Système Internationale d´Unités

11. Measuring Mass Mass: Amount of matter in an object. Matter: Describes anything with a physical presence—anything you can touch, taste, or smell. Weight: Measures the force with which gravity pulls on an object.

13. Measuring Temperature K = °C + 273.15 T F = 1.8 T C + 32 T C = (T F – 32) 1.8

14. Derived Units: Measuring Volume

16. Derived Units: Measuring Density density = volume mass solids- cm 3 liquids- mL gases- L Typical volume units

17. Accuracy, Precision, and Significant Figures Accuracy: How close to the true value a given measurement is. Single measurement: percent error Series of measurements: average Precision: How well a number of independent measurements agree with each other. Characterized by the standard deviation.

18. Accuracy, Precision, and Significant Figures good accuracy good precision Mass of a Tennis Ball

19. Accuracy, Precision, and Significant Figures Significant figures: The number of meaningful digits in a measured or calculated quantity. They come from uncertainty in any measurement. Generally the last digit in a reported measurement is uncertain (estimated). Exact numbers and relationships (7 days in a week, 30 students in a class, etc.) effectively have an infinite number of significant figures.

20. Accuracy, Precision, and Significant Figures length = 1.74 cm 01243 cm 1.7 cm < length < 1.8 cm

21. What is the reading on the graduated cylinder? Accuracy, Precision, and Significant Figures

22. Rules for counting significant figures (left-to-right): 1.Zeros in the middle of a number are like any other digit; they are always significant. 4.803 cm 4 sf

23. Accuracy, Precision, and Significant Figures Rules for counting significant figures (left-to- right): Zeros in the middle of a number are like any other digit; they are always significant. Zero at the beginning of a number are not significant (placeholders). 0.00661 g 3 sfor 6.61 x 10 -3 g

24. Accuracy, Precision, and Significant Figures Rules for counting significant figures (left-to-right): Zeros in the middle of a number are like any other digit; they are always significant. Zeros at the beginning of a number are not significant (placeholders). Zeros at the end of a number and after the decimal point are always significant. 55.220 K 5 sf

25. Accuracy, Precision, and Significant Figures Zeros in the middle of a number are like any other digit; they are always significant. Zeros at the beginning of a number are not significant (placeholders). Zeros at the end of a number and after the decimal point are always significant. Zeros at the end of a number and after the decimal point may or may not be significant. 34,2000 ? SF

26. Rounding Numbers Math rules for keeping track of significant figures: Multiplication or division: The answer can’t have more significant figures than any of the original numbers. 11.70 gal 278 mi = 23.8 mi/gal 4 SF 3 SF

27. Rounding Numbers Multiplication or division: The answer can’t have more significant figures than any of the original numbers. Addition or subtraction: The answer can’t have more digits to the right of the decimal point than any of the original numbers. 3.19 + 0.01315 3.18 2 decimal places 5 decimal places 2 decimal places

28. Rounding Numbers Rules for rounding off numbers: 1.If the first digit you remove is less than 5, round down by dropping it and all following numbers. 5.664 525 = 5.66 2.If the first digit you remove is 6 or greater, round up by adding 1 to the digit on the left. 5.664 525 = 5.7

29. Rounding Numbers 3.If the first digit you remove is 5 and there are more nonzero digits following, round up. 5.664 525 = 5.665 4.If the digit you remove is a 5 with nothing following, round down. 5.664 525 = 5.664 52

30. Calculations: Converting from One Unit to Another Dimensional analysis: A method that uses a conversion factor to convert a quantity expressed in one unit to an equivalent quantity in a different unit. Conversion factor: States the relationship between two different units. original quantity x conversion factor = equivalent quantity

31. Calculations: Converting from One Unit to Another 1 m = 39.37 in Conversion factor: Equivalent: 1 m 39.37 in or 39.37 in 1 m converts m to in converts in to m

32. Calculations: Converting from One Unit to Another 39.37 in 1 m 69.5 in = 1.77 mx equivalent quantitystarting quantity conversion factor E.g Convert 69.5 in to m

33. Example How many centimeters are in 2.00 ft? Convert 2.00 in 2 to cm 2

34. Examples A group of students collected 125 empty aluminum cans to take to the recycling center. If 21 cans make 1.0 lb aluminum, how many liters of aluminum (D=2.70 g/cm 3 ) are obtained from the cans? 34
