Matter and its Changes
Atoms
• Matter is made up of atoms
• Matter is anything that takes up space and has mass
• Atoms are the “building blocks” of life
• Forms of matter that contain only one type of atom are called elements
• Atoms combine to form many different types of matter
Structure of an Atom
ProtonElectron (electron cloud)
Neutron
Mass Number =
Protons + Neutrons
Atomic Number =
Number of protons
Isotopes
• When the number of protons in an atom changes it becomes a different element
• Atom is electrically neutral when the number of electrons and protons are the same.
• Atoms of the same element that have a different number of neutrons are called isotopes
• Ex. C12 = 6p +6n C14 = 6p + 8n
Ions
• Electrically charged atoms are called Ions• The number of protons is not equal to the
number of electrons• Ions are attracted to each other when they have
opposite charges
• Ex. Na+ + Cl- = NaCl = salt• Ex. Na+ + F- = Sodium Fluoride for
toothpaste
Combinations of Atoms
• Atoms combine by sharing their outermost electrons in their electron clouds
• When two atoms are combined a molecule is formed
Bonds
• Ionic Bond – Positive and Negative ions combine and electrons are transferred– Ex. NaCl
• Covalent Bond – Electrons are shared– Ex. H2O
Combinations of Atoms
How Atoms Combine
• When at least two atoms are combined a molecule is formed
• There are two ways in which atoms combine to form molecules and compounds
Ionic Bonding
• Positive and Negative ions combine and electrons are transferred
• Example: Na+ and Cl- = NaCl
Covalent Bonding
• In covalent bonding electrons are shared
• Example: 2H + O = H2O
Compound
A type of matter that has properties different from the properties of each of the elements in it
• Example: Na (metal) + Cl (gas) = NaCl (solid salt)
• Example: 2H (gas) + O (gas) = H2O (liquid water)
Mixture
• Many different substances that when mixed together, each substance retains its own properties
• Examples: sand, air and salad
Solution
• When one substance of a mixture is dissolved in another substance it is a solution
• Examples: tea w/ sugar, salt water
• Chemical properties describe how one substance changes when it reacts with another
• Examples: iron and oxygen = rust
• Physical Properties can be observed or measured without changing the substance
• Examples: color, shape, size, density and texture
If energy is added or taken away, matter changes phases
Matter can change by:Matter can change by:
1.1. Increasing or decreasing the Increasing or decreasing the temperaturetemperature
Ex: freezing water turns it to a solid Ex: freezing water turns it to a solid (ice)(ice)
2. Increasing or decreasing pressure2. Increasing or decreasing pressure
Ex: Pressure to ice cube changes it to Ex: Pressure to ice cube changes it to liquidliquid

Let us consider how the particles are arranged in the 3 states of matter. (phases)
Particles have slightly more energy so are able tomove randomly around each other and are spaced slightly further than in a solid. However they do not have sufficient energy to overcome the attractive forces between them so cannot escape from each other completely.
Particles arranged in a regular, close-packed fashion. They have little energy, so simply vibrate about fixed positions, unable to overcome the attractive forces between them.
LiquidSolid Gas
Particles have much more energy so have overcome all attractive forces between them. They move around very fast in a irratic fashion, colliding occasionally. They are much more spread out then in the solid or liquid state
Plasma
• Plasma is like a gas, but the atoms are made up of free electrons and ions.
• Plasmas are not common on Earth, however you may have seen plasma.– Northern lights or lightning
State Changes or Phase Change
• When a substance changes state, it is undergoing a physical change, there is no new substance formed. Physical changes unlike chemical changes are easy to reverse.
• Energy is required to turn from solids to liquids, and liquids to gases. In order to gain greater freedom of movement, the forces between the particles must be overcome.
• Energy is given up as gases turn to liquids, and liquids to solids. They move less freely and are held together more strongly.
