DESCRIPTION
Matter & The Atom. Matter. The term matter describes all of the physical substances around us: your table, your body, a pencil, water, and so forth. Matter. Anything that has mass and takes up space (has volume) Made up of different kinds of atoms. Matter. - PowerPoint PPT PresentationTRANSCRIPT

Matter
Anything that has mass and takes up space (has volume)
Made up of different kinds of atoms

Matter
Includes all things that can be seen, tasted, smelled, or touched
Does not include heat, sound, or light

Matter is made of atoms

Modern Model of the AtomThe electron cloud
Sometimes called the wave modelSpherical cloud of varying density Varying density shows where an electron is more or less likely to be

Atomic Structure
Nucleus – Protons
– Neutrons
Electrons

Atomic Structure
Electrons
Tiny, very light particles
Have a negative electrical charge (-)
Move around the outside of the nucleus

Atomic Structure
Protons
Much larger and heavier than electrons
Protons have a positive charge (+)
Located in the nucleus of the atom

Atomic Structure
Neutrons
Large and heavy like protons
Neutrons have no electrical charge
Located in the nucleus of the atom

Describing Atoms
Atomic Number = number of protons
In a neutral atom, the # of protons = the # of electrons
![Page 13: Matter & The Atom](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813b34550346895da40455/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Describing Atoms
Atomic Mass Number - equal to the number of protons plus neutrons.
![Page 14: Matter & The Atom](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813b34550346895da40455/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Describing Atoms
Atomic Weight - average mass of the naturally occurring isotopes of an element .

Ions
An atom that carries an electrical charge is called an ion
If the atom loses electrons, the atom becomes positively charged (because the number of positively charged protons will be more the number of electrons)
![Page 16: Matter & The Atom](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813b34550346895da40455/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Ions
An atom that carries an electrical charge is called an ion
If an atom gains electrons, the atom becomes negatively charged (more negative charges than positive charges)
![Page 17: Matter & The Atom](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813b34550346895da40455/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Ions
The number of protons does not change in an ion
The number of neutrons does not change in an ions
So, both the atomic number and the atomic mass remain the same.

IonsThis atom has lost an electron. Now it has one more proton than electron.
One more proton means one more positive charge.
This makes the total charge of the atom POSITIVE.
This atom has gained an electron. Now it has one less proton than electron.
One less proton means one less positive charge.
This makes the total charge of the atom NEGATIVE.

Isotopes
The number of protons for a given atom never changes.
The number of neutrons can change.
Two atoms with different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes

Isotopes
Have the same atomic number (number of protons)
Have different atomic mass numbers (number of protons + neutrons)
