CHAPTER 1
WHAT IS MATTER?
ATOM
Is the smallest par ticle of an element and has the same chemical proper ties of the element Atoms: the stuff that builds elements the smallest particle that uniquely defines an elemen Par ticles that make up an atom: Protons: positive (+) charge Neutrons: no charge Electrons: negative (-) charge
ATOM STRUCTURE
ATOM STRUCTURE
ELEMENTS
A substance composed of a single kind of atom Elements contain one or more of the same type of atom! Cannot be broken down into another substance by chemical or physical means.
COMPOUND
A substance in which two or more dif ferent elements are CHEMICALLY bonded together
MIXTURE
Two or more substances that are mixed together but are NOT chemically bonded.
Atomic Number
Atomic Number Atomic numbers represent the number of protons in one atom of the element.
Atomic Number A sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus
WHAT IS SYMBOL?
ELECTRON CONFIGURATION
Arrangements of electrons in an atom. Each orbital can have only 2 electrons and with dif ferent quantum numbers.
Oxygen-atomic orbit
CRYSTAL STRUCTURE
cr ystal structure is a unique arrangement of atoms or molecules in a crystalline liquid or solid. A crystal structure is composed of a pattern, a set of atoms arranged in a particular way, and a lattice exhibiting long -range order and symmetry. Patterns are located upon the points of a lattice, which is an array of points repeating periodically in three dimensions. The points can be thought of as forming identical tiny boxes, called unit cells, that fill the space of the lattice. The lengths of the edges of a unit cell and the angles between them are called the lattice parameters. The symmetry properties of the crystal are embodied in its space group. A crystal's structure and symmetry play a role in determining many of its physical properties, such as cleavage, electronic band structure, and optical transparency.
CRYSTALLIZED STRUCTURE
Simple cubic
No of atoms: 8 corner atom x 1/8 = 1 atom Total atom = 1 atom
No of atoms: 8 corner atom x 1/8 = 1 atom 1 centre atom = 1 atom Total atom = 2 atoms
Hexagonal close-packed
No of atoms: 12 corner atom x 1/6 = 2 atoms 2 centre atom x =1 atom 3 centre atom =3 atoms Total atom =6 atoms
