Document Summary
Chapter 3,4, & 6: matter, atoms, elements, & moles. Classifying matter according to its site and composition. If matter cannot be broken does into different types, it is considered a substance. Can be broken down into a simpler substance. Cannot be separated because its in its simplest form. If matter can be separated into different types, it is considered a mixture. A : mass number or the amount of protons plus the amount of neutrons in an element. Z : number of protons or the atomic number of the element. When an element has a different number of neutrons than the one on the periodic table. From atoms to ions (gaining and losing electrons) When the number of electrons is different that the protons, no longer making the element. The mole is a bridge that connects the microscopic world of atoms to our microscopic world where we measure mass and volume.
