Chemical Properties of Matter

observed when chemical makeup is altered
Ability to Burn
Ability to Decompose

Reacts With

Physical Properties of Matter

can be measured without changing the substance or chemical compos­ition
Color
Odor
smell
Luster
how shiny
Mallea­bility
to be beaten into thin sheets
Ductility
to be made into thin wires
Physical
use of senses

2 Properties Under Physical Property

Extensive
amount of matter in the sample
 
mass, volume, no. of cal present
 
identi­fiers of unknown matter
Intensive
 
depends on state of matter
 
density, hardness, melting point, boiling point

Evidence of Chemical Change

Absorp­tio­n/R­elease of Energy
Color Change
Light Evolution
Produc­tio­n/L­ibe­ration of Gas
Formation of Precip­itate

Law of Conser­vation of Mass

-mass of products = mass of reactants. Always
-no change in quantity despite chemic­al/­phy­sical change
-not created nor destroyed. converted from one substance to another
 

Classi­fic­ation of Matter

Classi­fic­ation of Matter

Pure Substance
cannot be physically separated
 
elements and compounds
Mixture
2+ substances physically combined
 
constant BP and MP nonexi­stent
 
retains charac­ter­istic properties of components
Hetero­genous Mixture
can be physically separated
 
components are distin­gui­shable
Homogenous Mixture
particles distri­buted evenly throughout
 
components not distin­gui­shable

Separating Techni­que­s/M­ethods

-to remove unwanted particles
-to obtain important substance
-to obtain pure substances
Mechanical Separation
manual separation based on physical properties
Magnetic Separation
when component has magnetic property
Filtration
diff of solid particle size
Decant­ation
diff densities, pour out liquid, leave solid
Distil­lation
2 substances have diff BP
Evapor­ation
vaporize liquid, leave reside behind
Density Separation
less dense floats, more dense sinks
Centrifuge
circular motion to sink denser components
Paper Chroma­tog­raphy
diff in solubility
 
faster flow through solid = lower solubility

Atomic History & Subatomic Particles

Ancient Greek Philos­ophers
Atomists
- everything is made of tiny indivi­sible particles
 
Leucippus
- matter is composed of 2 indivi­sible things, atoms, and void
 
Democritus
- atoms from one object are different from another object
   
-Democ­ritus' Building Blocks (first figure for atoms)
Natural Elemen­talists
- everything is made of natural elements
 
Empedocles
- everything is made of water, earth, fire, & air
 
Aristotle
- everything is infinitely divisible, and made of water, earth, fire, air, and aether

John Dalton's Postulates

Indivi­sible Atoms
elements are made of small indivi­sible particles called atoms
Mass & Properties
mass & properties of all its other atoms are same, for all elements
Atomic Ratios
atoms in given compound are present in a constant whole-­number ratio
Reactions
atoms are not created nor destroyed; they combine, separate, or rearrange

History of Atomic Models

Dalton's Atom
a singular circle
Thomson's Plum Pudding Atom
electrons needed a positive "­som­eth­ing­" to counter the charge
Ruther­ford's Nucleus Atom
discovered the nucleus, something that deflected the particles
Bhor's Planetary Model
discovered shells and energy levels
Bhor's Planetary Model v2.0
discovered neutrons
 
light elements bombarded with alpha particles will produce lots of ionizing radiation

Atom Structure

Atom
electr­ically neutral
 
spherical
 
contains, protons, neutrons, (+) charged nucleus surrounded by (-) electrons
Electrons (e- or beta)
move rapidly around nucleus (proba­bility cloud)
 
Charge: -1.602­x10-19C
 
Mass: 9.109x­10-31 kg
 
Diameter: ~10-18m
Protons (p+ or H+)
all (+) charge of nucleus results from protons
 
Charge: +1.602­x10-19 C
 
Mass: 1.672x­10-27kg
 
Diameter: ~10-15m
Neutrons (n0)
no charge
 
Mass:1.67­4x1­0-27kg
 
Diameter: ~10-15m
Atomic Number (Z)
=no. of p+ in nucleus = no. of e- in atom
Mass Number (A)
=p+ + n0 in nucleus (there are no electrons in the nucleus because nucleus us + charged)
Isotope
isos = same, topos = place
 
different no. of n0, but same no. of p+
