12. smallest possible particle of a chemical element that retains that element’s chemical properties

13. smallest possible particle of a chemical element that retains its chemical properties what does this remind you of?

14. The more precisely the position is determined, the less precisely the momentum is known in this instant, and vice versa. --Heisenberg, uncertainty paper, 1927

15. Atomic number = number of protons Valence electrons

16. a substance that cannot be decomposed or transformed into other chemical substances by ordinary chemical processes smallest possible particle of a chemical element that retains that element’s chemical properties = ATOM

17. a substance that cannot be decomposed or transformed into other chemical substances by ordinary chemical processes = ELEMENT Periodic Table first created in 1869 by the Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev

18. organization by electron shells elements whose outermost electrons fall in the numbered shell the number of electrons that can reside in a shell is equal to 2n 2

19. organization by number of valence electrons (outer shell electrons) 12345678 the number of electrons that can reside in a shell is equal to 2n 2

20. stable configuration: valence shell contains maximum electrons (8) unstable elements WANT to combine

22. Ionic bond: electrons transferred (usually from metal to non-metal) Ion: protons ≠ electrons

23. each element of ion pair now more stable 12345678 10 electrons 18 electrons

24. stable configuration: valence shell contains maximum electrons (8) 1.ionic bonding…electron transfer 2.

25. stable configuration: valence shell contains maximum electrons (8) 2. covalent bonding…electron sharing

26. stable configuration: valence shell contains maximum electrons (8) covalent bonding…electron sharing

27. Take-home message: Most of Earth’s elements PREFER (chemically) to exist in combination with other elements ~ accomplished via electrostatic bonding

28. only eight elements make up 98% of Earth’s crust (by weight) Which are most abundant? Why?

29. “Iron Catastrophe” Planet became chemically differentiated Increasing Fe/Mg toward core Increasing Si/O toward crust

31. most abundantleast abundant Most of Earth’s elements PREFER (chemically) to exist in combination with other elements

32. Building blocks… Made up of: Description: 1.(Quarks, photons, neutrinos……….Subatomic) 2.Protons, neutrons, electrons……………Atomic 3.Atoms…………………………………...Element 4.…? Increasing size, complexity

33. Building blocks… Made up of: Description: 1.(Quarks, photons, neutrinos……….Subatomic) 2.Protons, neutrons, electrons……………Atomic 3.Atoms…………………………………...Element 4.Atom  molecule/compound…………..Mineral Increasing size, complexity

34. Geologists’ definition of “mineral”… 1.Naturally occurring (no synthetics) 2.Solid substance (on Earth) 3.Orderly crystalline structure 4.Definite chemical composition 5.Generally inorganic

35. How do you identify a mineral?

36. Physical properties of minerals 1.Crystal form 2.Luster 3.Color 4.Streak 5.Hardness 6.Cleavage 7.Density/specific gravity 8.Other

37. 1. Crystal form………….

38. 2. Luster………….

39. 3. Color………….

40. 3. Streak………….

41. 4. Hardness…

42. 5. Cleavage

43. 6. Fracture…

44. 7. Specific gravity/density… weight of mineral vs. weight of equal volume of water Asbestos = 2.45 Basalt = 3.01 Coral = 2.12 Granite = 2.69 Etc…

45. 8. Other… Taste Elasticity Malleability Feel (greasy, soapy) Magnetism Double refraction Etc…

46. Take-home message: Physical properties of minerals can be used in combination to determine mineral type

49. ROCK: Any solid mass of mineral, or mineral-like, matter that occurs naturally as part of our planet
