Document Summary

2. 1 basic chemistry: matter: anything that takes up space and has mass, forms of matter: solid, liquid, gas, plasma, all matter is composted of elements. Elements: substance that cannot be broken down to a simpler substance with different properties by ordinary chemical means: each elements has it"s own properties: density, solubility, melting point, and chemical reactivity. E: atomic mass: the average mass for all isotopes of the atom. The periodic table: vertical columns = groups, horizontal rows = periods, radioactive isotopes, example: carbon 14 changes into nitrogen 14 over time, which is a stable isotope. When carbon 14 decays, it releases various types of energy in the form of rays and subatomic particles: geiger counter detects radiation. Electrons: valence shell: the outermost shell of the electron, determines many of an atom"s chemical properties, octet rule: if an atom only has one shell, the valence shell is complete when it has two electrons.
