2
Chemistry is the Study of Matter Matter is a substance: that has mass and occupies space!
3
All matter has two properties: _______________ which is a measure of the amount of material in a substance, and _______________ which is the amount of space an object occupies. mass volume
4
Weight is a measure of the force of gravity.
5
All matter is composed of simple substances that cannot be broken down by ordinary chemical means called elements.
6
Elements are given symbols that contain one or two letters. If the symbol has just one letter, it is capitalized. For example: If the symbol has two letters, only the first is capitalized, the second is written in lower case. C He
7
An __________________ is the smallest part of an element that has all the properties of that element. atom
8
Elements may combine chemically to form _____________. compounds
9
A ___________ is the smallest part of a compound that has all the properties of that compound. molecule
10
A ___________ is a physical combination of two or more substances, each of which retains its individual properties. mixture
11
Compounds differ from mixtures in the following ways: CompoundsMixtures New Properties Substances Keep Original Properties Separated Chemically Separated Physically Proportions Fixed Proportions Vary

Atoms are composed of three types of particles: ParticleLocationChargeMassRelative Mass ProtonNucleus + 1.67X10 -24 g1 amu NeutronNucleus 0 1.67X10 -24 g1 amu ElectronOutside Nucleus - 9.11X10 -28 g0 amu amu = atomic mass unit
13
Electrons can be found at any location away from the nucleus, but they are more likely to be in certain regions than in others. The regions in space in which it is likely to find electrons are known as energy levels or orbitals.
14
Each energy level is able to contain only a certain number of electrons. Electrons fill the energy levels closest to the nucleus first. When one energy level is filled, electrons must move to another energy level further away from the nucleus.

Atoms are most stable when their outermost electron shell is filled with 8 electrons (or 2 for H and H).
17
Atoms tend to be most stable when their outer energy level contains eight electrons. Atoms gain, lose or share electrons in an attempt to obtain eight outer, or valence, electrons. Nucleus 1s 1 1s 2 Hydrogen Helium

22
The number of protons in an element is indicated by the ______________, which is given the symbol Z. Z atomic number
23
In neutral atoms, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. ________________, which is given the symbol A, is equal to the number of protons plus the number of neutrons. Atomic mass A
24
The number of neutrons is thus the atomic mass minus the atomic number. Atomic Mass rounded to whole # Atomic Number - 27 # of Neutrons Atomic Mass 58.933 = 59 59 32 Atomic Mass Rounded Off
25
Example: Lithium Atomic mass Number of protons Number of electrons Number of neutrons Complete Symbol: 3 Atomic number 7 amu 3 3 4 Li 7 3 atomic mass atomic number Remember! Atomic mass – Atomic number = # Neutrons
26
Isotopes Forms of an element that have the same number of protons, and electrons, but different numbers of neutrons and different masses are called ____________. isotopes For example: Hydrogen has three common isotopes H 1 1 Protium H 2 1 Deuterium H 3 1 Tritium - Which is Radioactive!

28
Ions A charged particle is called a(n) _______. Ions are formed by the gain or the loss of __________. ion electrons
29
Positive Ions If an atom loses electrons, it has fewer negative charges than it has positive charges, and thus becomes a ___________ charged particle, known as a _______. Metals, found on the _____ side of the periodic table, tend to form positive ions. positively cation left
30
Positive Ions Left Side of Table
31
Negative Ions If an atom gains electrons, it has more negative charges than it has positive charges, and thus becomes a ___________ charged particle, known as a _______. Nonmetals, found on the _____ side of the periodic table, tend to form negative ions. negatively anions right

35
Chemical Bonding A chemical _______ is a force that holds atoms together in compounds. There are two major types of chemical bonds: bond
36
Chemical Bonding In _______ bonds, electrons are transferred from a metal, which loses electrons, to a nonmetal, which gains electrons. The resulting ions have opposite electrical charges, and are strongly attracted to one another. ionic
37
Example of Ionic Bonding F Li LiF
38
Example of Ionic Bonding F -1 Li +1 lost 1 electron gained 1 electron now 10 electrons now 2 electrons LiF
