Classifying Matter

What is Matter Made Of?• Protons: + charge, 1 AMU, in nucleus• Neutrons: neutral charge, 1 AMU, in nucleus• Electrons: - charge, 1/1000th AMU, electron cloud

• The number of protons decides the element number.• The number of electrons decides the ionic/oxidation state.• The number of neutrons decides the isotope

Elements• An element is the most basic form of matter.• It is defined by the number of protons.• Usually, the number protons and the number

of electrons are equal.

Atomic Number is the number of Protons

Atomic Mass is Protons and Neutrons together

Elements• An element is the most basic form of matter.• It is defined by the number of protons.• Usually, the number protons and the number

of electrons are equal.Secret Question #1:Which element is this?

Isotopes

• Isotopes are variations on elements, where the number of neutrons is different.

• Since neutrons are neutral in charge, they do not affect the properties of the element, only the weight.

• This isotope is Lithium-7It has 3 protons and 4 neutrons. If it only had 3 neutrons, it would be Lithium-6

Atomic Number is the number of Protons

Atomic Mass is Protons and Neutrons together

Most Elements Do NOT Occur in the Pure Form

Molecule• A molecule consists of two or more atoms.• They can be the same element (N2)• Or different elements. • CO – carbon monoxide

• C2H4 – ethylene

• C6H12O6 - glucose

Proteins are HUGE Molecules

Compounds• Compounds contain two or more elements.

Compounds

water (dihydrogen oxide) salt (sodium chloride) ammonia (NH4)

rust (iron oxide) chalk (calcium carbonate) sugar (glucose)

Elements

• Elements have only ______ type of atom• Elements are defined by the number of ______.• The whole universe is made from about _____

different elements.• The most common element in the universe is

__________.

*If you are watching by recording, send me these sentences with the answers*

Compounds

• Most elements do ____ exist on their own• They join with other ___________ to form

____________ .• Compounds may have __________ different

types of elements in them.

*If you are watching by recording, send me these sentences with the answers*

Mixtures • Homogeneous or Heterogeneous?• If it is distributed equally it is

homogenous. • If it separates into layers, it is

heterogeneous• Colloids are suspended mixtures that

do not separate. Milk is an example.• Otherwise, over time the layers will

separate, such as mud in a lake.

Solution

• A solution involves a reaction between molecules due to electromagnetic charges. Solutions are by definition transparent.

Solutions and Mixtures Demo

• Notice that they are clear? They are solutions!

Watch Video to See What Happens When They are Mixed

Solutions and Mixtures Demo

• Notice that they are clear? They are solutions!

• Now that it is not clear, it is no longer a solution, but a mixture.

Precipitate• A precipitate are solids that form during a

chemical reaction between two solutions.

Mixtures• Iron and Sulfur powder in a the mixture• So, it is hypothesis time:

How can we separate the iron from the sulfur?

Enter some ideas in the chat box.

Mixtures

• Iron and sulphur – the mixture• How can we separate the iron from the sulphur?• Use a magnet!• Iron is magnetic, sulfur is not...

Turning an iron-sulphur mixture into a Compound

Fe + S FeS Heat

Compounds form as a result of chemical reactions

When iron and sulfur react

+sulfur (S) atoms iron (Fe) atoms

When iron and sulfur react

+sulfur (S) atoms iron (Fe) atoms

iron sulfide (FeS) molecules

3. A compound is always formed due to a chemical reaction

4. Heat is either taken in or given out when a compound is made

5. A compound always contains the elements in fixed proportions, e.g. FeS contains 7g of iron to 4g of sulphur

An Introduction to Pure Sodium Metal

Watch Video That Shows Pure Metallic Sodium

A fun chemical reaction that you SHOULD NOT TRY AT HOME!

Sodium in water = BOOM

2Na + H20 = 2NaOH + H2 + Heat
