Properties of Matter - Matter can be classified into pure substances (elements and compounds) and mixtures (homogeneous and heterogeneous) - Matter can be separated by physical or chemical means. - Separating mixtures using physical means (i.e.: Density, phase changes, filtration, etc.) Reading the Periodic Table - The element symbol on the periodic table states the symbol, atomic number, and the average atomic mass. - The periodic table is organized by 7 periods and 18 groups. - Groups 1, 2, 13-18 are the main block elements. - 80% of the periodic table are metals, 15% are nonmetals, and 5% are metalloids. - Metals are solids at room temperature, are great conductors (poor insulators), have high melting points, and are malleable, ductile, and shiny in appearance. (Hg is a liquid at room temp) - Nonmetals can be either solids, liquids, or gases at room temperature. They are often colorful in appearance, and are poor conductors of electricity (good insulators) Matter mass density pure substance element compound mixture solution heterogeneous mixture filtration chemical property physical property chemical change physical change phase change endothermic exothermic atomic number mass number chemical symbol group period metal nonmetal metalloid reactants products chemical equation
8. Explain how heat transfer occurs. 9. Compare the specific heats of different substances in relation to the amount of heat required to change the temperature of that substance. Chemical vs Physical Properties - Chemical properties can only be determined when the identity of the substance changes. - Physical properties can be determined without a change in the identity of the substance. - Metals, nonmetals, and metalloids have different physical and chemical properties. - Density is a measure of the amount of mass in a given volume for an object. Chemical vs Physical Changes - Cooking a substance where the identity is altered is a chemical change. - Cooking a substance to change the phase, shape, or size is a physical change. - Reactions that release energy are exothermic and reactions that absorb energy are endothermic. Thermodynamics - Heat transfer always occurs through the movement of kinetic energy from a hotter substance to a colder substance (Ex: choosing the best tools) - Hot and cold are all relative based on the direction of the heat transfer. - Some substances heat up and cool down faster than other substances based on their specific heat value. - Varying cooking oils have different smoke-points making each of them an optimal choice depending on the goal.

The head of the molecular orients itself toward the water and uses the nonpolar tail to encapsulate the nonpolar solute so that it can be removed from the mixture. Solutions: - (Miscible vs immiscible liquids) - Well water must be maintained with the proper concentrations of ionic salts to avoid hard water and calcium deposits. - Volatile liquids evaporate quickly because they have weak IMFs - IMFs are weak are a result of London dispersion forces, which are weak forces of attraction - Small amounts of energy are required to break weak IMFs - Large amounts of energy are required to break strong IMFs - Water has unique properties that make life possible on earth including high specific heat, polarity, high Acid-base indicator ph poh acidic basic neutralization ionic salt aqueous solution concentration electrolytes immiscible miscible polarity polar nonpolar soluble solubility solute solvent solvation dissolving ionic dissociation organic solvent inorganic solvent volatile flammable IMFs (Intermolecular Forces)
