Name ____________________________ Matter and the Amazing Atom What’s Chemistry? _______________________ is the study of matter. ______________ is anything that has _____________ and takes up space (_____________). D=m/v Your turn: Give three examples of matter in this room. 1,__________________________ Note the states of matter. 2.__________________________ 3.__________________________ Atoms Matter is made of ________________. Atoms are made of even smaller particles called ______________, _____________, and _________________. An atom has two main parts: the ____________________ and the _______________________ that surrounds it. Your turn: Make two observations from this diagram. 1. ________________________________________________________________________________ 2. ________________________________________________________________________________ The Nucleus- the “kernel” An atom is made up of a ______________________ surrounded by one or more electrons. The nucleus is the very small _______________________ of an atom. It is made up of smaller particles called ________________ and ____________________. Protons have a ______________________ (+) electric charge. Neutrons are neutral and have __________(0) charge. Your turnProtons are _______________________and _____________________ are neutral. What does neutral mean?____________________________________________________________________ The Electron Cloud The electrons that move rapidly around the nucleus have a ___________________(-) electric charge. Electrons move rapidly __________________ the __________________. Electrons may be anywhere within the electron cloud. http://youtu.be/9qwBfBugo_A?t=44s Your turn: What are the two main parts of an atom? ______________________and _________________________ What charge does an electron have? ___________________________ IONS= ++++ Atoms with a Charge----In a ________________ atom, the number of protons = electrons. EX. An atom with 4 protons (positive charges) and 4 electrons (negative charges) has no charge. The charges __________ ______ each other, making the atom ________________. If an atom ___________ electrons, it will be ___________ negative and is called an ______________. If an atom _____________ electrons, it is __________ negative and is called a _____________. An atom with either a positive or negative charge is called an_______________. Your turn: what makes an atom neutral? _____________________________________________________ What’s a positive ion called?________________________________________________________________ Protons determine the element One atom is different from another atom if it has a different number of ______________ Hydrogen has only _____ (1) proton in its nucleus, while carbon has _______ (6) protons. Hydrogen and carbon are called ________________. An _______________ is made up of all the __________ atoms. Every atom of an element has the same number of ___________. The number of protons in the nucleus of its atoms is called the ___________ _____________. It also tell you the number of ___________________ in a neutral atom. . http://www.kscience.co.uk/animations/atom.htm So, we would say that the _____________ _____________ of hydrogen is 1 and carbon is 6. Your turn: Count the number of protons and electrons in each atom. Write it down. ________ protons and ___________ electrons Are they ions? Why or why not? ______________________________________________________________ What is the atomic number of Lithium? _____________ What is the atomic number of Helium?_____________ Mass –the measure of matter-Atomic Mass _______________ is the measure of how much _____________(___________) is in a substance. Atoms are so small their mass is measured in _____________________________ (amu). One ________________ is about ________ atomic mass unit. (1 amu). One __________ is about one atomic mass unit . (1 amu) _________________ they make up mostly _________ the __________ of an atom. The number of all the protons and all the neutrons ___________ together is called the (____________) __________ __________. Ex. Boron has ________ protons and ________ neutrons. Its (atomic) mass number is _______ amu The Mass of Electrons Electrons are much _________________. It takes almost ____________ electrons to equal the mass of one proton. Electrons, however, take up much __________________ in the atom than the nucleus. Your turn: Why is the mass of electrons not calculated in the mass number of an atom? ___________________________________________________________________________________ Isotopes- Same element –Same atomic number but Different Mass Number All atoms of the ____________ element have the same number of __________, or same ______________________. Sometimes, they may can have __________________numbers of ____________________ and therefore, have a different _____________ ________________. _____________________are atoms with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. An isotope is identified by its _____________ _______________. Your turn: What happens when you change the number of protons in an atom?______________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ What happens when you change the number of neutrons? ______________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ What is the mass number for the first carbon atom?___________________________________________ Examples of Isotopes Hydrogen, has 1 proton and 0 neutrons, its atomic ____________ __________ is 1 (1p +0 n=1amu) and it is called ________________________. An isotope of hydrogen is an atom with 1 proton and 1 neutron and it is called called ______________. (1p+1n=2amu). ___________________________ is another isotope. (1p+2n=3amu). The ________________________ of __________ the isotopes of an element is called the __________________________. (not the same as (atomic) mass number.) What’s the difference between atomic mass and (atomic) mass number? http://moodle.fct.unl.pt/pluginfile.php/61092/mod_book/chapter/948/Yr_8/chemestry/atoms_and_element s/nature_matter.swf http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/isotopes-and-atomic-mass
