Matter : Is anything that has mass and takes up


space (has volume)
2. Mass : is the amount of matter in an object
3. Volume : is the amount of space something
takes up

5. Types of phase transition


Change from liquid to gas : Vaporization
Change from gas to liquid : Condensation
Change from liquid to solid : Freezing
Change from solid to liquid : Melting
Change from solid to gas : Sublimation
Change from gas to solid : Deposition

TEMPERATURE CHANGES
6. Classification of Matter
a. Element
 Is a substance (matter) made of only one kind
of atom
 Cannot be broken down into a simpler type of
matter by either physical or chemical means
 Can exist as either atoms or molucules
b. Molecule consists of two or more atoms of the
same element, or different elements that are
chemically bound together
c. Compound
 Is a substance (matter) made of atoms of two
or more different elements bound (combined)
togerther
 Can be broken down into a simpler type of
matter by chemical means
 Has properties that are different from its
component elements
 Always contains the same ratio of its
component atoms
d. Mixtures
 Is matter made of two or more different
elements or compounds physically
combined together
 Can be separated into its components by
physical means
 Often retains many of the properties of its
components
7. Separating mixtures
 Chromatography : Separates liquids of
different colours
 Distillation : Separates liquids with different
boiling points
 Filtration : Separates a solid that can dissolve
from one that can’t
 Evaporation : Separates a liquid and solid by
boiling off the liquid

8. Difference between physical and chemical


changes
 Physical changes only  Chemical changes will
effect properties effect both physical
and chemical
properties
 Physical changes  Chemical changes
produce no energy produce energy
generally in the form
of the heat, light or
sound
 Physical changes  Chemical changes
produce no new produce new
substances substances
 Physical changes are  Chemical changes are
generally easy to not easily reversible
reverse

10. A chemical reaction is a process in which a


substance or substances is/are changes into new
substances with different chemical properties from
the original ones
The original substances are called reactants and
the new substances are called products
Chemical reactions can be represented using
chemical equations
Types of chemical equations include word and
symbol
The large numbers in front of some of the formulas
are called coefficients, these numbers are used to
balance the equation
Chemical reactions obey the Law of Conservation
of Matter which states that matter cannot be
created nor destroyed
10. Atomic structure : All atoms are made from
these three subatomic particles
Particles Charge Relative Location in
mass an atom
Proton +1 1 Nucleus
Neutron 0 1 Nucleus
Electron -1 1/1840 Electron
shells
Protons and neutrons have almost the same mass

The lowest shell must be full before electrons enter the


next shell
The arrangement of electrons in shells is called electron
configuration and the 1st shell is closest to the nucleus
The maximum number of electrons in the 1st shell is 2, in
the 2nd shell is 8 and the 3rd shell is 8
11. Number of Particles in Atoms
Symbolism
Atomic Number ( Z) = The # (number) of protons
Number of protons=number of electrons
Mass number (A) = [The # (number) of protons] + [the #
(number) of neutrons]

12.
Two atoms with the same number of protons, but
different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes
Two different between isotopes are mass number and
neutron #
Four similarities between isotopes are
a) Proton #
b) Electron #
c) Electron configuration
d) Chemical Properties

13. THE PERIODIC TABLE


Columns of similar elements called Group
The horizontal rows are called Periods
Few elements are Semi-metals which have mixed
metal/non-metals character and not so easy to classify

Properties of Metals
 Metald have high melting and boiling points
 Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.
 Metals have high density
 Metals look shiny
 Metals are strong materials ( hard)
 Metals are malleable, they can change shape without
breaking when hit very hard
Chemical properties of Metals
 Metal react with oxygen to form compounds called
oxides
 The oxides produces hydroxies solution when
dissolved in water
 The alkali solution have pH>7
 Most metal elements react with acids to form a salt
and hydrogen

Properties of Non-metal
 Non-metallic elements have low melting and boiling
points
 Non-metals are poor conductors of heat and
electricity
 Non-metals are weak material ( weak)
 Non-metals look dull
 Most non-metals easily break into smaller piece,
they are brittle
 Non-metals have low density

Chemical properties of non-metal


 Non-metals react w/oxygen to form acidic oxides
 These oxides dissolved in water to produce acidic
solutions
 The acid solution have pH<7

Groups
Group 1 –Alkali Metals : Lithium (Li), Sodium(Na),
Potassium( K), Rubidium( Rb)
 The melting points of Group 1 metals decrease as
we go down the group
 Group 1 metals need to be stored under oil
because it keep them out of contact w/oxygen in the
air
 Group 1 metals are less dense than water, so they
float
 They are good conductors of heat and electricity
 The Group 1 metals get more reactive as we go
down the group

Group 2 – The Alkaline Earth Metals : Beryllium (Be),


Magnesium(Mg), Calcium( Ca), Strontium (Sr),
Barium(Ba)
 Group 2 metals are less reactive than group 1
metals
 Group 2 metals get more reactive as we go down
the group
 The alkaline earth metals have low melting points
and low densities

Group Transition Metals


 Transition metals have High Melting Points and
Boiling Points
 Transition metals have high density
 They are good conductors of heat and electricity

Group 7 – The Halogens : Flourine ( F), Chlorine (Cl),


Bromine(Br), Iodine(I), Astatine (At). They have seven
outer electrons.
 All group 7 halogens have seven electrons in the
outer shell
 The colour of the group 7 gets darker as we go
down the group
 The melting pointes of group 7 halogens increase
down the group
 The boiling points of group 7 increase down the
group
 Most halogens readily re4act with metals, especially
on heating, to form ionic compounds
 Number of Halogen
 Flourine : pale yellow, boiling points -188
 Chlorine : yellow/green, boiling point -34
 Bromine: orange/brown, boiling point 58
 Iodine :grey/black , boiling point 183

Group 0: Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon,


radon
 They have full outer electron shell
 All group 0 noble gases have eight electrons in the
full outer shell
 The melting point of group 0 increase down the
group
 The boiling point of group 0 increase down the
group
 The density of group 0 increase down the group
