Chapter 3Atoms and Elements 3.1 Classification of Matter 1

Matter Matter is the “stuff” that makes up all things. 2

Pure Substances A pure substance is classified as matter with a specific composition. an element when composed of one type of atom. a compound when composed of two or more elements combined in a definite ratio. 3

Elements Elements are pure substances that contains atoms of only one type. Copper, Cu Lead, Pb Aluminum, Al 4

Compounds contain two or more elements in a definite ratio. Salt (NaCl) Table sugar (C 12 H 22 O 11 ) Water (H 2 O) 5

Elements in a Compound “Table salt” is a compound that contains the elements sodium and chlorine. 6

Mixtures A mixture is a type of matter that consists of two or more substances that are physically mixed, not chemically combined. two or more substances in different proportions. substances that can be separated by physical methods. 7

Physical Separation of a Mixture Example: Pasta and water are separated with a strainer. 8

Homogeneous Mixtures In a homogeneous mixture, the composition is uniform throughout. the different parts of the mixture are not visible. 9

Heterogeneous Mixtures In a heterogeneous mixture, the composition of substances is not uniform. the composition varies from one part of the mixture to another. the different parts of the mixture are visible. 10

Chapter 3 Atoms and Elements 3.3 The Periodic Table 23

Development of the Periodic Table Mendeleev’s Periodic Table (1871) Until the discovery of the proton, the elements were typically organized by increasing atomic weight. The modern organization is by increasing atomic number.

Groups and Periods On the periodic table, elements are arranged according to similar properties. groups contain elements with similar properties in vertical columns. periods are horizontal rows of elements. 25

Periods: 7 horizontal rows. Groups: 18 vertical columns. International standard: 1-18 US system: 1A-8A, 1B-8B

Groups and Periods 27

Names of Some Representative Elements 28

Group Numbers use the letter A for the representative elements (1A to 8A) and the letter B for the transition elements. also use numbers 1-18 to the columns from left to right. 29

Elements and the Periodic Table

Alkali Metals Group 1A (1), the alkali metals, includes lithium, sodium, and potassium. 31

Halogens Group 7A (17), the halogens, includes chlorine, bromine, and iodine. 32

Examples Identify the element described by the following: A. Group 7A (17), Period 4 1) Br2) Cl3) Mn B. Group 2A (2), Period 3 1) beryllium2) boron 3) magnesium C. Group 5A (15), Period 2 1) phosphorus 2) arsenic3) nitrogen 33

Metals, Nonmetals, and Metalloids The heavy zigzag line separates metals and nonmetals. Metals are located to the left. Nonmetals are located to the right. Metalloids are located along the heavy zigzag line between the metals and nonmetals. 34

Metals, Nonmetals, and Metalloids on the Periodic Table 35

Properties of Metals, Nonmetals, and Metalloids Metals are shiny and ductile. are good conductors of heat and electricity. Nonmetals are dull, brittle, and poor conductors. are good insulators. Metalloids are better conductors than nonmetals, but not as good as metals. are used as semiconductors and insulators. 36

Comparing a Metal, Metalloid, and Nonmetal 37

Examples Identify each of the following elements as 1) metal, 2) nonmetal, or 3) metalloid. A. sodium____ B. iodine____ C. Argon ____ D. iron____ E. Silicon____ 38
