CHAPTER 4: PROPERTIES OF ELEMENTS & COMPOUNDS
PG 139: STUDYING MATTER
THE PARTICLE THEORY OF MATTER
1. All matter is made up of tiny particles
2. Each pure substance has its own kind of particle
3. Particles are always moving
4. Particles attract each other
5. Particles move faster at higher temperature
HOW TO SEPERATE MIXTURES
1. A filter can be used to separate solids from liquids or gases
2. Distillation can be used to separate liquid in a mixture, based on boiling point
3. A magnet will attract iron and steel objects and leave other objects behind
It is important to find a good balance between advantages & disadvantages that are associated with the use, production, and disposal of chemicals. (PG145)
SECTION 4.1 REVIEWS
Meanings of the safety icons + WHMIS symbols
Matter can be classified according to its composition as mixtures or pure substances
Element is a pure substance that cannot be broken down into simply substances through physical or chemical methods
Compound is a pure substance that is composed of two or more different elements that are chemically combined
Production and use of new chemicals can have both negative and positive consequences
PG 149: PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
A property is used to describe matter. In a physical change, the substance that is involved stays the same even though its form or state may change.
EX. Texture, colour, smell, melting point.
A qualitative physical property can be described without detailed measurement.
Property
Examples
Colour
Odour
State
Texture
Lustre
Malleability
Colourless, red, black
Sweet, pungent, mouldy
Solid, liquid, or gas
Rough, smooth, bumpy
Shiny, dull
Soft, pliable, hard
A quantitative physical property can be measured and assigned a particular value.
Property
Examples
Viscosity
Melting point
Boiling point
Solubility
Hardness
Conductivity
Density
Resistance to flow
Temperature of melting
Temperature of boiling
Ability to dissolve in another substance
Ability to scratch another material
Ability to conduct electricity or heat
Ratio of mass to volume
Hardness – the ability of a substance to be scratched Mohs scale is used to assign a number from 1 to 10 EX. Diamonds have a rating of 10
Density – the mass of a substance that occupies a certain volume Can refer to both solids & liquids Units referred to as g/cm3 EX. What is the density of a liquid if 95.9cm3 has a mass of 101g? The density of the liquid is approximately 1.05g/cm3
SECTION 4.2 REVIEWS
Physical property of an element or a compound can be observed without a change to the substance
Qualitative physical properties: colour, odour, texture, lustre, & malleability
Quantitative physical properties: viscosity, melting point, boiling point, solubility, hardness, conductivity & density
Density can be calculated by dividing mass of a substance by its volume
Diamonds are valuable as gemstones because they have high lustre, are transparent, and refract light brilliantly
Unique properties of water include a solid state that is less dense than its liquid state, the ability to absorb a large amount of heat, and the ability to dissolve numerous essential chemicals and nutrients
PG 160: CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
A chemical property is the ability of a substance to change (react) and form new substances
Combustibility: the ability of a substance to burn in air
Stability: the ability of a substance to remain unchanged
Toxicity: the ability of a substance to cause harmful effects in plants and animals
SECTION 4.3 REVIEWS
Chemical properties of a substance include reactivity with combustibility, stability, toxicity and other substances
Chemical properties of peroxide make it useful in hair dye
Stability and toxicity of a substance may influence its

Physical Science T2 Atomic Theory (portfolio) Current Atomic Theory • According to the modern atomic theory, most of an atom is empty space. An atom consists of a small, dense nucleus surrounded by electrons. Atoms contain three types of subatomic particles: protons, neutrons and electrons. The nucleus contains only protons and neutrons. • Protons are particles with a positive charge. • Neutrons are particles with a neutral, or no, charge. • Electrons are particles that orbit around the nucleus…
In section 2.1, students will be able to: 1. Explain what is meant by multidisciplinary science. A multidisciplinary approach involves drawing appropriately from multiple disciplines to redefine problems outside of normal boundaries and reach solutions based on a new understanding of complex situations. 2. Define matter, elements, and compound [2.3], and identify the main elements of life and define trace elements identifying the main trace elements necessary for life [table 2.1]. Matter is…
ATOMS AND ELEMENTS Everything is made of atoms Everything is made of tiny lumps of matter called atoms; atoms are made up of even smaller particles. Structure of atoms Protons, electrons and neutrons Electrons are whizzing around the central nucleus. Each electron, and each proton in the nucleus, carries an electrical charge. Electrons carry a negative charge. Protons carry a positive charge. Neutrons have no charge as they are neutral. The electrons have a lot of energy and…

bases Atom -the smallest part of an element that still has the properties of the element -a typical atom is very small—only about 10-10m in diameter Energy level -can be thought of as a region of space near a nucleus that may be empty or may contain electrons -electrons in energy levels nearest the nucleus have the lowest energy -electrons in energy levels farther away from the nucleus have more energy -electron in the lowest energy levels are the most tightly held in the atom because…
Science- chemistry notes Definitions: Atoms: Tiny particles that make up all matter. Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons and electrons. Protons and neutrons are heavier than electrons and are located at the centre of the atom, the nucleus. The electrons spin around the nucleus in a region of empty space. Neutrons are neutral-no charge. Protons-have a positive charge. Electrons-have a negative charge. Opposite charges attract each other and this is what keeps the electrons…
Isotopes By Toby Bryer Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons but have a different amount of mass and neutrons. It is possible for the same chemical element to have different numbers of neutrons. The number of protons and electrons is the same, so the atoms behave the same way chemically. Different amount of neutrons means there is a different relative mass. Eg. Carbon 12 and carbon 14 are two isotopes of the element carbon with mass numbers 12 and 14. The atomic…

Electron: A small, negatively charged particle that revolves around the nucleus of an atom. Proton: A positively charged particle in an atomic nucleus. Neutron: An electrically neutral…
