Particle Theory of Matter

1. Matter is made up of tiny particles.
2. Particles of Matter are in constant motion.
3. Particles of Matter are held together by very strong electrical forces.
4. There are empty spaces between the particles of matter that are very large compared to the particles themselves.
5. Each substance has unique particles that are different from the particles of other substances.

Physical Properties

• A characeristic of a substance that can be determined without changing the composition (“make-up”) of that substance
• Characteristics can be determinded using your 5 senses and measuring instruments
  • smell, taste, touch, hearing, sight
  • scales, tape, measuring meter

Chemical Property

• A characteristic (property) of a substance that describes its ability to undergo changes to its composition to produce one of more new substances. AKA BEHAVIOUR. Everything has one!
• Cannot be determined by physical properties
• E.g. ability of nails /cars to rust
• Fireworks are explosive
• Denim is resistant to soap, but is combustible
• Baking soda reacts with vinegar and cake ingredients to rise
• Bacterial cultures convert milk to cheese, grapes to wine, cocoa to chocolate
• CLR used to clean kettles, showerheads because it breaks down minerals
• Silver cleaner for tarnished jewellery, dishes because silver reacts with air to turn black.

Periodic Table

Trends On The Periodic Table

• The first column are the Alkali metals.
  • They are shiny, have the consitency of clay, and are easily cut with a knife.
  • They are the most reactive metals.
  • They react violently with water.
  • Alkali metals are never found as free elements in nature. They are always bonded with another element.
• The second column are the Alkaline earth metals.
  • They are never found uncombined in nature.
• The last column are the Noble gases.
  • Extremely un-reactive.
• The second last column are the Halogens.
  • The most reactive non-metals
  • They react with alkali metals to form salts.
• The middle parts are the transition metals.
  • They are good conductors of heat and electricity.
  • Usually bright coloured.
  • They have properties similar to elements in their same family
  • Many of them combine with oxygen to form compounds called oxides.
• The rows outside the table are the Inner tranistion metals.

• The left to the staircase are the metals and the right are the non-metals. The ones touching the staircase are the metalloids.

How To Read An Element

History of The Atom

Person	Description	Picture
Democritus	All matter can be divided up into smaller pieces until it reaches an unbreakable particle called an ATOM (cannot be cut) He proposed atoms are of diffent sizes, in constant motion and separated by empty spaces
Aristole	- Rejected Democritus ideas, believed all matter was made up the 4 elements, it was accepted for nearly 2000 years
John Dalton	- Billbard model, atoms of different elements are different Atoms are never created or destroyed. - Atoms of an element are identical
JJ Thomson	- Atoms contain negatively charged electrons, since atoms are neutral, the rest of the atom is a positevly charged sphere. - Negatively charged electrons were evenly distrubuted throughout the atom. - Ray cathode experiment - basically atoms were attracted to a postive end of the tube, so there most be negative charges in the atoms.
Ernest Rutherford	- Discovered that the postively charged nucleus. - The nucleus was surrounded by a cloud of negatively charged electrons - Most of the atom was just space. - Gold foil experiement, alpha particles (postively charged) shot at atom, some bounced off at weird angles, so there most be a postively charged thing there.
Niels Bohr	- Discovered that electrons orbit the nucleus in fixed paths, each electron has a definite amount of energy, further from nucles = more energy. - Electrons cannot jump orbit to orbit or release energy as light going down. - Each orbit can hold a specifc amount of electrons, 2,8,8,2, useful for the first 20 elements
James Chadwick	- Discovered the neutron, mass of neutron = mass of proton (basically) - Neutral atoms have equal numbers of protons and electrons.

Carbon

Atoms

• Subscripts - tells us how many of the atom are there, for example N₂ means there are 2 nitrongen atoms.
• Use distrubutive property if there are brackets and a subscript, for example, (CO)₂ is equilivant to C₂O₂.
• Atoms are stable if they have a full valence shell (noble gases)
• Each family has the same amount of valence electrons as their family number, so alkali metals would have 1 valence electron, alkaline earth metals will have 2, halogens will have 7 and noble gases would have 8.
• They will also have the same amount of protons as their atomic number.
• Number of protons = Number of electrons.
• Number of neutrons = mass - atomic number/number of protons.

Bohr-Rutherford / Lewis-Dot Diagrams

• Bohr-Rutherford
  • Draw nucleus, and draw the apprioate number of orbits.
  • Put number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
  • Draw the correct number of electrons in each orbit
• Lewis-Dot Diagrams
  • Draw element symbol
  • Put the right number of valence electrons around the symbol, perferably in pairs

Bonding

• To combine 2 atoms, each element wants to be stable. So they each want a full valence shell, (outer shell) so they are stable.
• They can either gain, lose or share electrons in order to become stable.
• Example:
  • Oxygen and Hydrogen, in order to become stable, they all need 8 valence electrons. Hydrogen has 1, oxygen has 6, so we bring in another hyrdogen and we let them share all their electrons, turning into H₂O, or water.
• Use arrows to show gaining or losing electrons.
• Circle to show sharing of electrons.

Naming of Ionic Bonds

1. Write cation (metal) first
2. Write anion (non-metal) second
3. Change the ending of the non-metal to ide.

Decomposition

• A chemical change used to break compounds down into simpler substances
• Energy must be ADDED
  • Using electricity
  • Adding thermal energy

Catalyst

• Substance that accelerates a chemical change without being consumed OR changed itself

Uses of Hydrogen Peroxide

• On cuts/scraps
  • Blood has a catalyst = see bubbling O₂
• Cleans contact lenses
  • Bubbling removes dirt
• Bleaches
  • React with compounds that provide color
  • RESULT = no colour (bleach blond hair/teeth)
