Matter Anything that occupies space and has mass. It is made up of particles.
Example : wood, water, balloon
Atoms are too small to observe. These particles cannot be seen under the high-
powered light microscopes used in school laboratories. The size of an atom is
measured in angstroms. One angstrom is a unit of length equal to one ten
millionth of a millimetre.
scanning tunneling microscope (STM) - allows scientists to view and scan the
surface of very small particles like atoms
LIQUID
A liquid has a distinct volume independent of its container but has no specific
shape: It assumes the shape of the portion of the container that it occupies
the molecules are packed more closely together, but still move rapidly, allowing
them to slide over each other; thus, liquids pour easily
GAS
(also known as vapor) has no fixed volume or shape; rather, it conforms to the
volume and shape of its container. A gas can be compressed to occupy a
smaller volume, or it can expand to occupy a larger one. In a gas the molecules
are far apart and are moving at high speeds, colliding repeatedly with each other
and with the walls of the container
PHASES 1. MELTING - When ice cubes are placed in a glass of water, it melts. Why? It is
OF because water has a higher temperature than the ice. Heat energy flows from
MATTER the water to the ice. Heat transfer transpires from an object with a higher
temperature to an object with a lower temperature. The heat absorbed by the ice
is used to break the hydrogen bonds holding the water molecules together in the
ice crystals. When molecules are removed, the ice cubes shrink. The process
continues until all of the ice melts.
2. VAPORIZATION (evaporation) -Once the ice has melted, additional energy
added to the system increases the kinetic energy of the liquid molecules.
Particles that escape the liquid enter the gas phase. For the substance that is
ordinarily a liquid at room temperature, the gas phase is called gas or vapor.
Vaporization is the process by which a liquid changes to gas or vapor. When
vaporization occurs only on the surface of a liquid the process is called
evaporation.
3. SUBLIMATION- Solid iodine and solid carbon dioxide (dry ice) change
directly from solid phase to gas phase. The process is called sublimation.
Mothballs, which contain the compound naphthalene sublimates. Have you
noticed that ice cubes left in the freezer for a long time shrink? It is because they
undergo the process of sublimation.
4. CONDENSATION -Condensation of water vapor all involves the transfer of
energy. A vapor molecule that comes in contact with the surface of a cold glass
window transfers its heat to the cold glass. The water vapor that condenses on
the leaves of the grass forms liquid droplets called dew. Clouds are made
entirely of water droplets. When the drops increase in size, they become heavy,
and fall to the ground as rain.
5. FREEZING- You place an ice cubes maker filled with water in the freezer. As
heat is removed from the water, the molecules lose kinetic energy, the velocity
of the molecules decreases. When enough energy has been removed, the
hydrogen bonds between water molecules keep the molecules fixed or frozen
into set positions. Freezing is the reverse of melting.
6. DEPOSITION -When water vapor comes in contact with the cold window
glass in winter, it forms a solid deposit on the window glass called frost.
Deposition is the process by which a substance changes from a gas or vapor to
a solid state without first changing into a liquid state. Deposition is the reverse of
sublimation. When water vapor high up in the air changes directly into ice
crystals, you get a snowflake. Energy is released as the crystal forms.
J. J. Thomson (1856-1940)
• Proved that atom can be divided into smaller parts.
• The next major advance in the history of the atom was the discovery of
electrons in 1897. Electrons have negative charged and the first subatomic
particles to be identified.
• In 1897, proposed the Plum Pudding Model which states that atoms mostly
consist of positively charged material with negatively charged particles
(electrons) located throughout the positive material.
History of Johann Dobereiner, -a German chemist who formed the triads of elements with
the similar properties like the triad of calcium, barium and strontium.
periodic
table John Newlands, an English chemist proposed the Law of Octaves. He based
his classification of elements on the fact that similar properties could be noted
for every eight element when they are arranged in order of increasing atomic
masses. Around 1869 two scientists determined a way to put the elements in
order.
Lothar Meyer and Dmitri Mendeleev both came up with periodic tables that
showed how elements should be grouped. It is interesting to note that these two
scientists did not personally know each other, yet they came up with the same
conclusions. Both scientists were teachers living and working in different places.
Meyer lived and worked in Germany while Mendeleev in Russia. Both arranged
the elements in order of increasing atomic mass while putting in groups those
with similar properties. Both of them also left blank spaces in their tables,
believing that these spaces would be filled later with elements yet to be
discovered.
Henry Moseley, an English physicist observed that the order of the X-ray
frequencies emitted by elements follows the ordering of the elements by atomic
number. This observation led to the development of the modern periodic law
which states that the properties of elements vary periodically with atomic
number. The atomic number is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of
an atom. The atomic number is a common characteristic of all atoms of an
element. The modern periodic table is arranged by atomic number
Periodic
Table
The modern periodic table organizes elements in such a way that information
about the elements and their compounds are easily revealed.
The vertical columns of the periodic table, called groups, identify the principal
families of elements.
Some families have their special names. Refer to the figure on the right,
Group 1 -alkali metals ( Magnesium – most reactive metal)
Group 2 -alkaline earth metals
Trivia:
Mercury - not solid at room temperature
Chlorine -the highest electron affinity
