2 2.0 Materials phase: different aggregations of matter solid liquid - gaseous homogeneous materials: one phase heterogeneous materials: more than one phase 18/10/ Aggregation of Matter Bose-Einstein-Continuum solid melting freezing liquid solid subliming resubliming gaseous liquid vaporizing condensing gaseous gaseous Ionising plasmatic recombining 18/10/

3 4.0 Chemical Elements A chemical element is a fundamental substance that cannot be further refined or subdivided by chemical means. All atoms of a chemical element have the same number of protons. 18/10/ Atomic Theory until 1987: atoms = billiard balls 1886 E. Goldstein discovered positive charges within the atom 1887 J.J. Thomson discovered the electron when using cathode ray tubes raisin bread theory of atoms 1908 E. Rutherford interpretated his gold foil experiments by assuming a positively charged centre und negative charged surrounding electrons RUTHERFORD s model 1913 Bohr postulated his model of defined electron shells 1932 J. Chadwick discovered the neutron 18/10/

Hyperons Nucleons Photons Elektrons... Neutrons Protons Quarks Quarks 18/10/ Antimatter All elementary particles have antimatter counter parts Antimatter counterparts have the same mass but opposite electric charges When matter and antimatter come in contact they are instantly converted to energy (annihilation) and photons or mesons were created, respectively Photons are identical with its antimatter. 18/10/

10 5.6.3 Photons The photon (from Greek φοτος, meaning light) is a quantum of excitation of the quantised electromagnetic field and is one of the elementary particles studied by quantum electrodynamics (QED) which is the oldest part of the Standard Model of particle physics. 18/10/ Electromagnetic Waves Electromagnetic waves such as the photon - are transverse waves: The electric fields (E) and the magnetic field (M) both oscillate at right angles to the direction of wave propagation (travel). The two fields also oscillate at right angles to each other. 18/10/
