Document Summary

Law of conservation of matter matter may be transformed form one type of substance to others. Atoms, isotopes, and ions are chemical building blocks. Element- a fundamental type of matter, a chemical substance with a given set of properties that cannot be broken down into substances with the properties. Atoms- the smallest components of that maintain the chemical properties of that element. Nucleus- protons (positively charged particles) neutrons (particle with no charge) Isotopes- atoms of the same elements with differing numbers of neutrons. Half-life- the amount of time it takes for half of the atom to give off radiation. Ions- electrically charged atoms or combination of atoms. Molecules- combination of two or more atoms. Compound- a molecule composed of atoms of two or more different elements. Covalent bond- atoms in a molecule share electron. Solutions- elements, molecules coming together without chemically bonding. Ionic bonds- a transfer creates oppositely charged ions or reacting. Matter is composed of organic and inorganic compounds.

Chemical Reactions and Equations Learning objectives To observe physical and chemical properties associated with chemical changes To be able to give evidence for the occurrence of a chemical reaction To write a balanced chemical equation To identify areaction as a combination, decomposition, precipitation, single or double replacement, or combustion reaction ntroduction When a substance undergoes a physical change, it changes its appearance but not its composition. For example, when ice melts to form water, it undergoes a physical change from solid to liquid. In a chemical change, the composition of a substance is changed to give a new substance with different physical and chemical properties. For example, when silver tarnishes, the shiny silver (Ag) changes to a dull gray silver sulfide (AgaS). Not only has the chemical formula changed from Ag to Agus, but also the physical properties (shininess) of the substance have changed. Some examples of physical and chemical changes are listed in Table 1 below. Table 1. Comparison of Physical and Chemical Changes Examples of Physical changes Examples and Evidence of Chemical Changes Change in state (melting, freezing, evaporating Formation of a gas (bubbles) subliming) Formation of a solid (precipitate) Change in size Tearing Change in Color Heat is given off or absorbed A solid dissolving in a solvent In a chemical reaction, atoms in the reactants are rearranged to produce new combinations of atoms in the products. However, the total number of atoms of each element in the reactants is equal to the total number of atoms in the products. This is true according to the Law of Conservation of Mass, which states that the total mass remains constant during a chemical reaction. In other words, matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. In a chemical equation, the reactants are shown on the left and the products are on the right. An arrow in between indicates that a chemical reaction occurs. Finally, the physical state of each compound is designated in parentheses after the chemical formula. Solid, liquid, gas, and aqueous (dissolved in water) are shown as(s,(n,(g), and (aq), respectively.
