1. Properties of Matter Matter is anything that is made of atoms
- Can you think of one thing in the entire world
that is not matter?

2. Atom
Atom – the building blocks of matter. - the smallest piece you can break something into, if you broke it again it would not be the same substance - everything is made of atoms

3. The Parts of an Atom An atom is made up of two major areas;
The Nucleus (the center of the atom) 
The Area Outside the Nucleus Call the Electron Cloud 

4. Nucleons Nucleons – the parts that make up the nucleus
Protons – particles in the nucleus that have a +1 charge
Neutrons – particles in the nucleus that have no charge
Both protons and neutrons have a mass of 1 amu or
1 atomic mass unit

5. Electron Cloud
The area outside the nucleus is the electron cloud. This is the space that electrons fly around in.
Electrons – the atomic particle that is found flying outside the
nucleus, that has almost no mass and a charge of -1

6. Atoms Never Rest All atoms are constantly moving!
Brownian Motion: Perpetual jiggling of molecules/particles that are
just large enough to be seen.
The more the particles move the more energy they have. This
determines the molecules physical state (solid, liquid, gas,…)
Plasma: a phase of matter that consists of positive ions and free
electrons.
- This state of matter is of much greater energy than mater in
the gas state.

7. When the number of parts in an atom are different
The number of protons, electrons, and neutrons in an atom are not the same.
Isotope: Atoms of the same element that have a different number
of neutrons.
Ion: An atom that has a different number of protons and electrons.
- This makes that atom have a charge because the +1 protons
do not equal the -1 electrons

8. Elements Element – a material composed of only one kind of atom.
If I have a sample of an element every atom in that
sample has the same number of protons and electrons
- There are about 100 elements that are found in nature

9. The Periodic Table
The periodic table is a list of all the elements listed by atomic number
Atomic Number – The number of protons an atom contains

10. Atoms can bond together
Molecule – when two or more atoms bond or stick together by sharing electrons - This happens between nonmetal elements

11. Compounds
Compound – a substance that is made of atoms of different elements bound together in fixed
proportions
- When a metal element bonds with a
nonmetal element because of opposite charges
Chemical Formula – a symbol that tells you what kind and how many
of each element are in a compound
C6H12O6
