1 “Stuff” of the Universe The Raw Materials for Planets, Rocks and Life

2 Matter & Energy

3 Phases of Matter Solid Gas Liquid Determined by temperature and pressure

4 Rock

5 Atomic Particles Atoms (Elements) Compounds (Minerals, Organic Compounds) Rocks Earth Living Things Biosphere

6 Atomic Structure What are atoms made of? ParticleCharge Weight (amu) Proton (p) +1 Electron (e) -~0 Neutron (n) 01

7 Atomic Structure

8 Atomic Number = Number of Protons Importance of Protons

9 Elements Iron Carbon Gold

10 Periodic Table of the Elements

13 Atomic Weight = number of protons + neutrons Importance of Neutrons

14 Isotopes

15 Importance of Electrons Atoms vs. Ions (atomic weight = 23) Charge = 0 X

16 Importance of Electrons Positive Ions (atomic weight = 23) Charge = +1 Sodium Ion 10e

17 Importance of Electrons Ions (atomic weight = 18) Charge = 0 Chlorine 9e 9p 9n (atomic number = 9)

18 Importance of Electrons Negative Ions (atomic weight = 18) Charge = -1 Chlorine Ion 10e 9p 9n (atomic number = 9)
