Unit 3: Matter and Energy: Part I: Classifying Matter
Matter
Matter is anything that has mass and volume. Volume is the amount of three dimensional space an object occupies. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter.

Building matter
An atom is the smallest unit of an element that maintains the chemical identity of that element. An element is a pure substance that cannot be broken down into simpler, stable substances and is made of one type of atom.
Elements
How many known elements are there in the universe?
117
Period Group
Have similar properties Total of 18 groups
Metals
Groups
The vertical columns on the periodic table are called groups or families.
Groups are numbered 1-18 on the periodic table Elements belonging to the same group have similar properties
Periods
The horizontal row of elements on the periodic table are called periods or series.
Periods are numbered 1-7. The closer two elements are to one another in a period, the more similar their properties.
Metals, nonmetals, and metalloids can be located on the periodic table by knowing where to find the metalloid line!
Properties of Metals
Conductive- metals are good conductors of heat and electricity Malleable- metals can be hammered into thin sheets
Examples of Metals
Potassium, K reacts with water and must be stored in kerosene
Copper, Cu, is a relatively soft metal, and a very good electrical conductor.
Mercury, Hg, is the only metal that exists as a liquid at room temperature
Properties of Nonmetals
Carbon, the graphite in pencil lead is a great example of a nonmetallic element. Nonmetals are poor conductors of heat and electricity Nonmetals tend to be brittle Many nonmetals are gases at room temperature
Examples of Nonmetals
Sulfur, S, was once known as brimstone Microspheres of phosphorus, P, a reactive nonmetal
Graphite is not the only pure form of carbon, C. Diamond is also carbon; the color comes from impurities caught within the crystal structure
Properties of Metalloids
Metalloids straddle the border between metals and nonmetals on the periodic table.
They have properties of both metals and nonmetals. Metalloids are more brittle than metals, less brittle than most nonmetallic solids Metalloids are semiconductors of electricity Some metalloids possess metallic luster
Silicon, Si A Metalloid
Silicon has metallic luster Silicon is brittle like a nonmetal Silicon is a semiconductor of electricity
Noble Gases
Unreactive Gases at room temperature Neon, argon, krypton and xenon are used in lighting Helium is used in balloons
Tell whether each of the following elements is a metal, nonmetal, metalloid or noble gas: a) Silicon b) Chlorine c) Sodium d) Iron e) Antimony f) Radon g) Cesium h) Sulfur
The Properties of a Group: the Alkali Metals Have a silvery appearance and are soft enough to cut with a knife. Not found in nature as free elements. React violently with water React with halogens to form salts
Good conductors of electricity and have a higher luster. Less reactive than the alkali metals and the alkaline-earth metals Some exist as free elements
Noble Gases
Group 18 Elements
Unreactive Gases at room temperature Neon, argon, krypton and xenon are used in lighting Helium is used in balloons

The following questions refer to the following elements A. Sodium B. Fluorine C. Boron D. Argon 1. Does not interact readily with other elements 2. Reacts explosively with water 3. Is classified as a halogen
Pure substances
Element Made of the same types of atom Can be just one atom Chemically bonded Compound Made of different types of atoms Must be more than one Chemically bonded
Types of mixtures
Homogeneous (solutions) Heterogeneous
Pause for a Cause Learning Activity #4 Identify each of the following as either homogeneous or heterogeneous: a) Paper b) Sweetened Tea c) Pencil Lead d) Fresh-squeezed Lemonade e) Gold f) Chocolate Chip Cookies g) Oil and Vinegar Salad Dressing
Classifying matter
Learning Activity #5 Classify each of the following as an element, compound, heterogeneous or homogeneous mixture.
Chex Mix Gold ring Sea water (salt and water) C6H12O6
Colloid
Colloids are solutions. They can be described as a substance trapped inside another substance. They can be identified by their characteristic scattering of light.
For example: air trapped inside the fat molecules in whipped cream.
Suspension
Mixture that contains solid particles These particles will fall out of solution over time (sedimentation) Muddy water Dust particles in the air Paint
So you say
Mixtures are combinations in which each part maintains its own chemical identity. We can use these identities to separate the components.
Gold
Filtration
Used for the separation of solids from fluids (liquids or gases) by interjecting a medium which the fluid can pass, but the solids (or at least part of the solids) in the fluid are retained.

Physical properties
Characteristics that can be observed or measured without changing the identity of the substance.
Melting point Boiling point
51
Chemical Properties
Relates to a substances ability to undergo changes that transform it into different substances.
53
Physical Change
A change in a substance that does not involve a change in the identity of the substance.
Example:
Phase Changes (Change of State): A change of a substance from one state of matter to another.
55
56
Phase Differences
Solid definite volume and shape; particles packed in fixed positions.
Liquid definite volume but indefinite shape; particles close together but not in fixed positions. Gas neither definite volume nor definite shape; particles are at great distances from one another. Plasma high temperature, atoms lose most of their electrons (fluorescent).
