All Matter is made up of extremely tiny
particles
Each Pure substance has its own kind of
particles, different from the particles of other
pure substances
Particles are always moving -Particles at a
higher temperature are generally moving
faster, on average than particles at a lower
temperature.
Particles attract each other
What is matter?

Anything that has:
Mass
 Volume

Pure
Substances
Element

Mixture
Suspension
Solution
Pure Substance

A substance with constant composition.
Can be classified an either an element or as
a compound.

Examples: Table salt (sodium chloride, NaCl),
sugar (sucrose, C12H22O11), water (H2O), iron
(Fe), copper (Cu), and oxygen (O2).
Element

A substance that cannot be separated into
two or more substances by ordinary
chemical (or physical) means. We use the
term ordinary chemical means to exclude
nuclear reactions. Elements are composed of
only one kind of atom.

Examples: Iron (Fe), copper (Cu), and oxygen (O2).
Compound


A substance that contains two or more
elements, in definite proportion by weight. The
composition of a pure compound will be invariant,
regardless of the method of preparation.
Compounds are composed of more than one kind
of atom.
The term molecule is often used for the smallest
unit of a compound that still retains all of the
properties of the compound.

Examples: Table salt (sodium chloride, NaCl), sugar
(sucrose, C12H22O11), and water (H2O).
Mixture

Two or more substances, combined in
varying proportions - each retaining its
own specific properties. The components of
a mixture can be separated by physical
means, i.e. without the making and breaking
of chemical bonds.

Examples: Air, table salt thoroughly dissolved in
water, milk, wood, and concrete.
Homogeneous Mixture

Mixture in which the properties and
composition are uniform throughout the
sample. Such mixtures are termed
solutions.
Examples: Air and table salt thoroughly
dissolved in water
Heterogeneous Mixture
Mixture in which the properties and
composition are not uniform throughout
the sample.
Examples: Sand, Salads, chocolate chip
cookies
 - You will be able to see different substances
in the mixture.

Suspension



A cloudy mixture in which tiny particles of one
substance are held within another.
Can be separated out when the mixture is poured
through filter paper.
A suspension is also a heterogeneous mixture.
Physical changes


In a physical change, the substance involved
remains the same. The substance may change
form or state, however. All changes of state are
physical changes.
There are other physical changes that are not
changes of state. Dissolving is a physical change.
When sugar is dissolved it spreads out in the water
but the sugar is still sugar. If the water was boiled
off there would be sugar left over. Most Physical
changes can be reversed.
Chemical changes

In a chemical Change the substance is changed into one or
more different substances. The new substances have
different properties from the original substance. Most
chemical changes are difficult to reverse and most cannot
be. The new substances are not likely to combine and form
the original substance.

Often during a chemical change you cannot see the change
that has occurred in the substance, but you can observe the
results of the change. There are clues that suggest that a
chemical change has taken place.

Qualitative Analysis

Qualitative analysis: Involves determining
the composition of an unknown compound or
mixture. This is usually done by investigating
its physical and chemical properties.
Quantitative Analysis
Refers to analyses in which the amount or
concentration may be determined
(estimated) and expressed as a numerical
value in appropriate units.
 Qualitative Analysis may take place without
Quantitative Analysis, but Quantitative
Analysis requires the identification
(qualification) of the analyte for which
numerical estimates are given.

Observation and Inference

Observation:


A statement that is based on what you see,
hear, taste, touch and smell.
Inference:

A judgement or opinion that is based on
observations and/or conclusions
In chemistry we use these two components of
qualitative analysis frequently.

When trying to identify a sample of matter
we
Observe the sample, and then
 Infer what it is based on what we know about
other matter.

Empirical Knowledge and
Theoretical Knowledge

Empirical Knowledge:
Knowledge coming directly from observations
 It describes what is being observed


Theoretical Knowledge:
Knowledge based on ideas that are created to
explain observations
 We explain things by using theories that we
know.


Theory:
A explanation of a large number of related
observations
 Ex. Theory of relativity , Theory of evolution


Model:
A model is a way of representing a theory or idea.
 A model can change over time
 Ex. The model of the atom , a globe of the earth.

The periodic Table
The Foundation of the
periodic Table
Dmitri Mendeleev devised and published the
periodic table in in 1869.
 Mendeleev found he could arrange the 65
elements that were then known in a grid or
table so that each element had:
 1. A higher atomic weight than the one on its
left.
 2. Similar chemical properties to other
elements in the same column.


He did not know about orbits at this time
Dmitri Mendeleev

He noticed gaps in the table and predicted
where elements would fit and their properties
before they were discovered.
Henry Moseley

In 1913, Henry Moseley, who worked with
Rutherford, showed it is atomic number
(charge) and not (as Mendeleev had
proposed) atomic weight that is most
fundamental to the chemical properties of
any element. Like Mendeleev, Moseley was
able to predict correctly the existence of new
elements based on his work.
The Periodic Table

Today the elements are still arranged in
order of increasing atomic number (Z) as
you go from left to right across the table.

We also know an element's chemistry is
determined by the way its electrons are
arranged - its electron configuration.
Other table features
Important Features of the Table
 The elements are also organized in two
fashions horizontal vertical and horizontal lines
called groups and periods.
 Groups- elements with similar chemical
properties in a vertical column in the main part
of the table;
 Period – elements, arranged in a horizontal
row, whose properties change from metallic on
the left to non-metallic on the right
Other table features

Staircase line – A zigzag line that separates
metals (to the left) from non-metals (to the
right) ;
Chemical Groups
The alkali Metals
 Soft, silver colour elements; solids at SATP;
exhibit metallic properties; react violently
with water to form basic solutions and
liberate hydrogen gas; react with halogens to
form compounds similar to sodium chloride;
stored under oil in a vacuum to prevent
reaction with air.
Chemical Groups
The alkaline Earth Metals
 Light, very reactive metals; solids at SATP;
exhibit metallic properties; form oxide
coating when exposed to air; react with
oxygen to form oxides with the general
formula MO(s); all except beryllium will react
with hydrogen to form hydrides with the
general chemical formula XH2; react with
water to liberate Hydrogen gas.
Chemical Groups
Transition Metals
 Exhibit a wide range of chemical and
physical properties; characteristically strong,
hard metals with high MP; good conductors
of electricity; variable reactivity form ions
with variable charges many react with
oxygen to form oxides; some will react with
solutions of strong acids to form hydrogen
gas.
Chemical Groups
Halogens
 May be solids, liquids, or gasses at SATP;
exhibit non-metallic properties – not lustrous
and non-conductors of electricity; extremely
reactive, with fluorine being the most
reactive; react readily with hydrogen and
metals.
Chemical Groups
Noble Gases
 Gases at SATP; low melting and boiling
point; extremely uncreative, making them
especially interesting to chemists;

Chemical Groups
Representative Elements
 Include metals and non-metals from Groups
1, 2, and 13 through 17; may be solids,
liquids, or gases as SATP; called
representative because they most closely
follow the periodic law; many form colourful
compounds.
Chemical Groups
Rare Earth Elements
 The rare earth elements can be divided into
lanthanides (elements 58 - 71) and actinides
(elements 90 - 103). The naturally occurring
rare earths are found on earth in only very small
amounts. The actinides include most of the
well-known elements that take part in or are
produced by nuclear reactions. No element with
atomic number higher than 92 occurs naturally.
These elements are produced artificially in
nuclear reactors or particle accelerators.
