Topic 2.0 What is Matter?

Should Knows

Define: Matter, mass, weight, homogeneous mixture, heterogeneous mixture

Should Do's
1.Distinguish between mass and weight.
2.Apply the law of conservation of matter.

Topic 2.1 Atomic Structure

What is atomic structure?

Atoms have two major locations

NUCLEUS (center of atom) - Stores protons & neutrons

THE ORBITAL (space around NUCLEUS) - where electrons are

Protons (Atomic Number)

Have a POSITIVE charge

Neurons

Do NOT have a charge

Electrons

Have a NEGATIVE charge

Both Neutrons and Protons are found in the nucleus

ions are atoms of the same element having different charges

isotopes are atoms of the same element having different number of neutrons

Topic 2.1 Physical Vs Chemical CHange

Should Knows

Define: physical property, chemical

Should Do's

1. Describe the difference between physical and chemical changes.
2. Identify metals and nonmetals on the periodic chart.

Mini Lecture 2.0

What is Density

Should Knows

Define Mass, volume and Density

density = amount of mass a substance has in a given volume (g/ml )

volume = the space matter occupies

mass = measurement of matter volume

Should Do's

Solve Density word Problems

1. Manipulate density equation to solve unknown variable

2. Describe how changing in mass influences density if volume remains constant

3. Changing in volumes influence density mass remains constant

Category

Matter

Anything that has mass and a measurable volume

What is Matter?

Solid, liquid, gas and plasma

What are the different States of Matter?

What are the different types of matter?

Pure Substances

Compounds

Elements

ONLY can separate them CHEMICALLY

Mixtures

Homogeneuous (sugar and water)

Heterogeneous (oil and water)

They can be PHYSICALLY seperated

Physical Properties

CAN change the appearance, It DOES NOT change chemical composition

Examples: melting point, freezing point, density (ice, broken pencil)

Chemical Properties

The change of chemical composition in a substance. CAN change appearance AND chemical composition

Examples: rust

What are the physical and chemical properties of matter

What is Mass
