Macroscopic vs. Microscopic

We live in a macroscopic world.

Atoms and elements exist in a microscopic world.

How do atoms in tin foil look or what do atoms in water look like?

Chemistry Models

Sample Problem # 1

• Draw a model of a homogenous mixture composed of three different gaseous elements.

– Homogenous: Uniform throughout (compound should be intermingled and evenly distributed)

– Can the atoms of the elements exist as diatomic molecules?

Answer

Sample Problem # 2

• What kind of matter does the following model represent? Explain your answer!

Answer

• This model represents a heterogenous mixture of two molecular substances, each of which consists of two types of atoms.

Sample Problem # 3

• Draw a model of a container of each of the following samples of matter.– Table 1 and Table 7: Mixture of gaseous elements X

and Z. – Table 2 and Table 6: A two-atom compound of X and Z.– Table 3 and Table 5: A four atom compound of X and Z– Table 4: A solution composed of a solvent that is a

two-atom compound of L and R, and a solute that is a compound composed of two atoms of element D and one atom of element T.

Sample Problem # 4

• Answer Question #4 on your handout!

Sample Problem # 5

• The element Iodine (I) has a greater density in its solid state than its gaseous state. Draw models that depict and account for this difference at the particulate (really small!) scale. Iodine normally exists as a two-atom molecule.

Answer # 5

Sample Problem # 5

• A chemistry student at Riverwood High School was asked to draw a model of a mixture composed of an element and a compound. Comment on the usefulness of the students drawing.
