3. Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. Even though you can’t see it or hold it in your hand, air is matter. A.What is matter? I. Structure of Matter 1

4. Light and heat do not take up space, and they have no mass. Therefore, they are not forms of matter. Emotions, thoughts, and ideas are not matter either. B. What isn’t matter? Structure of Matter 1

5. C. What makes up matter? 1. An Early Idea - Structure of Matter 1 atom - a small particle that makes up most types of matter. 2. law of conservation of matter - matter is not created or destroyed—it only changes form. From Lavoisier’s work.

6. Models are often used for things that are too small or too large to be observed or that are too difficult to be understood easily. In the case of atoms, scientists use large models to explain something that is too small to be looked at. Structure of Matter 1 These models of the atom were used to explain data or facts that were gathered experimentally. As a result, these models are also theories.

7. matter was made of atoms that were too small to be seen by the human eye a set of ideas not a physical object known as the “atomic theory of matter” 1.John Dalton’s Atomic Model Structure of Matter 1 D. Models of the Atom

8. No matter what kind of model you use to picture it, the result is the same—an atom is an extremely small particle of matter. Atoms are so small it would take about 1 million of them lined up in a row to equal the thickness of a human hair. 2. Sizes of Atoms Structure of Matter 1

9. invisible, negatively charged particles, discovered by J.J. Thomson 3. Discovering the Electron - Structure of Matter 1

10. a solid ball of positive charge with electrons embedded in it 4. Thomson’s Model Structure of Matter 1

11. 5. Rutherford—The Nucleus - Structure of Matter 1 the positively charged, central part of the atom. protons - the positively charged particles in the nucleus

12. 6. Discovering the Neutron - Structure of Matter 1 particles that come from the nucleus and have no charge

13. E. Improving the Atomic Model Structure of Matter 1 The lowest energy level is closest to the nucleus and can hold only two electrons. Early in the twentieth century, a scientist named Niels Bohr found evidence that electrons in atoms are arranged according to energy levels.

14. Higher energy levels are farther from the nucleus and can contain more electrons. Improving the Atomic Model Structure of Matter 1

15. because electrons have characteristics that are similar to waves and particles, their energy levels are not defined, planet-like orbits around the nucleus. Rather, it seems most likely that electrons move in what is called the atom’s electron cloud. 1.The Modern Atomic Model Structure of Matter 1 Click image to view movie.

16. The electron cloud is a spherical cloud of varying density surrounding the nucleus. 2. The Electron Cloud Structure of Matter 1 The varying density shows where an electron is more or less likely to be.

17. The Electron Cloud Structure of Matter 1 Atoms with electrons in higher energy levels have electron clouds of different shapes. Generally, the electron cloud has a radius 10,000 times that of the nucleus.

18. 1 Section Check Question 1 Anything that has mass and takes up space is an example of _______?

19. 1 Section Check Question 2 Why isn’t a sunbeam an example of matter? Answer The answer is matter. Any object you can name—from pine trees to galaxies—is matter.

20. 1 Section Check A sunbeam is made up of light. It doesn’t have any mass, so although it is quite real, it isn’t matter in the scientific sense of the word. Answer Question 3 What is the law of the conservation of matter?

21. 1 Section Check The law of the conservation of matter states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed; it only changes forms. Answer

22. A.The Elements —One Kind of Atom An element is matter made of only one kind of atom. II. The Simplest Matter 2

23. B. The Periodic Table — 1. Charting the Elements The Simplest Matter 2 Chemists have created a chart called the periodic table of the elements to help them organize and display the elements. Each element is represented by a chemical symbol that contains one to three letters. The elements are organized on the periodic table by their properties.

24. The Periodic Table— Charting the Elements The Simplest Matter 2

25. The Periodic Table— Charting the Elements The Simplest Matter 2 The columns are called groups. The rows in the table are called periods.

26. C. Identifying Characteristics The Simplest Matter 2 1.Number of Protons and Neutrons atomic number - top number, tells you the number of protons in the nucleus of each atom of that element.

27. 2. Isotopes - The Simplest Matter 2 atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons. An atom’s mass number is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons it contains.

28. 3. Atomic Mass - The Simplest Matter 2 the weighted average mass of the isotopes of an element. The atomic mass is the number found below the element symbol. The unit that scientists use for atomic mass is called the atomic mass unit, which is given the symbol u.

29. 1. Metals generally have a shiny or metallic luster and are good conductors of heat and electricity. All are solids at room temperature, except mercury. D. Classification of Elements The Simplest Matter 2 Elements fall into three general categories — metals, metalloids, and nonmetals.

30. Classification of Elements The Simplest Matter 2 Metals are malleable (MAL yuh bul), which means they can be bent and pounded into various shapes. Metals are also ductile, which means they can be drawn into wires without breaking. Most of the elements are metals.

31. Some metalloids are shiny and many are conductors, but they are not as good at conducting heat and electricity as metals are. The Simplest Matter 2 2. Metalloids are elements that have characteristics of metals and nonmetals. All metalloids are solids at room temperature.

32. The Simplest Matter 2 3. Nonmetals are elements that are usually dull in appearance. Most are poor conductors of heat and electricity. Many are gases at room temperature, and bromine is a liquid.

33. The solid nonmetals are generally brittle, meaning they break easily. The Simplest Matter 2 The nonmetals are essential to the chemicals of life. More than 97 percent of your body is made up of various nonmetals.

34. 2 Section Check Question 1 What is the term for matter composed of only a single kind of atom? A. compound B. element C. mixture D. substance

35. 2 Section Check Answer The correct answer is B. Gold is an example of an element.

36. 2 Section Check Question 2 What is the name of the chart, composed by chemists, that arranges all the known elements, their properties, and their symbols?

37. 2 Section Check The chart is known as the periodic table. Answer

38. 2 Section Check Question 3 Every atom of the same element has the same number of protons. However, a given atom may have more neutrons than another atom of the same element. Atoms of an element with different numbers of neutrons are known as _______?

39. 2 Section Check Answer The answer is isotopes. Chlorine-35 and chlorine-37 are examples of isotopes.

40. A.Substances - matter that has the same composition and properties throughout. III.Compounds and Mixtures 3

41. 1.Compounds - Compounds and Mixtures 3 a substance whose smallest unit is made up of atoms of more than one element bonded together.

42. B. Mixtures - when two or more substances come together but don’t combine to make a new substance. Compounds and Mixtures 3 Mixtures can be classified as homogeneous or heterogeneous.

43. Homogeneous Homogeneous means “the same throughout.” Compounds and Mixtures 3 You can’t see the different parts in this type of mixture. You might not always know that homogeneous mixtures are mixtures because you can’t tell by looking. Homogeneous mixtures can be solids, liquids, or gases.

44. Heterogeneous A heterogeneous mixture has larger parts that are different from each other. Compounds and Mixtures 3 You can see the different parts of a heterogeneous mixture, such as sand and water.

45. Section Check 3 A substance whose smallest units are made of atoms of more than one element which have become bonded together is known as a _______? A. compound B. double element C. mixture D. solution Question 1
