supplies
A

Made up of…
3 different types of particles

A
type of atom with a unique set of
characteristics
Each has a unique atomic number ( # of
protons)
There are ~120 known elements
Examples?
If
you read a book, you will find a bunch of
words on a page. Letters make up those
words. In English, we only have twenty-six
letters, but we can make thousands of
words. In chemistry, you are working with
around 120 elements, and when you combine
them you can make millions of molecules.
Molecules are groups of atoms bonded
together in the same way that words are
groups of letters. An "A" will always be an "A"
no matter what word it is in. A sodium (Na)
atom will always be a sodium atom no
matter what compound it is in.

Multiple
atoms joined together
Can be the same type of atoms or different
types
Examples?
Dihydrogen monoxide
C8H10N4O2
A
molecule made up of at least 2 different
elements
Has a fixed ratio determining the composition
2 atoms of hydrogen + 1 atom of oxygen
becomes 1 molecule of a compound: water
1.
Table Salt (Sodium Chloride)- NaCl
2. Sugar (Sucrose)- C12H22O11
3. Hydrochloric Acid (Muriatic Acid)- HCl
4. Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid)- C6H8O6
5. Aspirin (Acetylsalicylic Acid)- C9H8O4
6. Ammonia- NH3
7. Rubbing Alcohol (Ethanol)- C2H5OH
8. Baking Soda (Sodium Bicarbonate)NaHCO3
9. Mothballs (Naphthalene)- C10H8

element has ___ protons.
In a food pyramid which best explains why the
number of organisms decreases from 1 trophic
level to the next?
A. consumers at the lower level require more
energy than the upper level consumers
B. consumers at the top level require more
energy than the lower level consumers
C. the consumers are feeding on larger
organisms that have less energy
D. the consumers are feeding on smaller
organisms that have less energy
Does
not change what is in an molecule
Changes how molecules are connected- phase or
shape (vaporization, condensation, sublimation)
Examples…
Crushing, melting, breaking, chopping,
shredding, freezing
Usually reversible
Changes
what is in a molecule
Makes a substance that wasn't there before
Look for clues a chemical reaction took
place: light, heat, color change, gas
production, odor, or sound
Which
of these best defines a chemical
change?
A. a change that can be reversed
B. a change that can not be reversed
C. a change that can sometimes be reversed
D. a change that causes a reaction
2+
substances which have been combined so
that each substance retains its own chemical
identity
can be separated from each other by physical
means (filtration/distillation )
Examples: rocks, air, crude oil (unrefined
petroleum), sea water, and steel
The
components are completely and evenly
mixed with one another, all parts are identical
Example : salt water, fruit punch, stainless
steel, air
Unevenly
combined mixtures, all parts not
the same (If you take one sample of a
heterogeneous mixture and another sample
from a different part of the mixture, the two
won’t be identical to one another)
Examples : food, soil, mixtures with visually
different components

Which
of the following is an example of
physical change?
Mixing baking soda and vinegar together, and
this causes bubbles and foam.
A glass cup falls from the counter and shatters
on the ground.
Lighting a piece of paper on fire and the paper
burns up and leaves ashes.
Baking a birthday cake for your mother.
Which
of the following is an example of
chemical change?
Filling up a balloon with hot air.
Taking a glass of water and freezing it by
placing it in the freezer.
A plant collecting sunlight and turning it into
food.
Your dog ripping up your homework.
If
the chemical properties of a substance
remain unchanged and the appearance or
shape of an substance changes it is called a
Chemical change
Physical change
Both a physical and chemical change
Neither a physical or chemical change
What
characteristic best describes what
happen during a physical change?
Composition changes
Composition stays the same
Form stays the same
Mass is lost
Which
is an example of chemical change?
Water freezes
Wood is cut
Bread is baked
Wire is bent
Which
is not a clue that could indicate a
chemical change?
Change in color
Change in shape
Change in energy
Change in odor
Electrons
exist in layers called shells
Outermost electron = valence electron
Ununseptium 2, 8, 18, 32, 32, 18, 7
It is possible to create ions (charged atoms)
by “stealing” valence electrons
Set
up according to element reactivity
Periods
Group
Period
= across
Groups = up/down
indicates the # of valence e-
indicates the # of shells
All
of the elements in a period have the same
number of atomic orbitals. Every element in the
top row (the first period) has one orbital for its
electrons. All of the elements in the second row
(the second period) have two orbitals for their
electrons. It goes down the periodic table like
that. At this time, the maximum number of
electron orbitals or electron shells for any element
is seven.
Draw
an atom of Na, Cl, and B, and O
Include
1. atomic number
2. # of electrons
3. Clearly drawn electron shells and
nucleus
4. Calculate the ionic charge
5. Explain why it is in the group that it is
6. Explain why it is in the period that it is
7. Is the atom more likely to gain or lose e-
1.
malleable – squishes but doesn’t break
2. shiny – reflective, bright
3. ductile – can be made into wires
4. good conductors (carriers) of electricity
and heat
Metals
– easily lose electrons, shiny,
malleable, easily conducts electricity
Non Metals – dull, don’t easily conduct
electricity,
Metalloids - have properties of both metals
and nonmetals
Chemical
Bond = interaction that holds 2
atoms together
An atom either 1. loses e- 2. gains e- 3.
shares e Only involves the valence e-
Ion
= atom or molecule with a charge
Ionic ( between ions) : the e- is transferred
Covalent : the e- is shared
Break down “covalent”
Polar
– having two poles ( of electrical
charge)
Polarity – when something is polar it has this
Bonds and molecules can be polar
This happens because of electronegativity
Electronegativity – how much an atom wants
to gain electrons
The
way combining atoms is written out
