Chemistry

An atom is the smallest building block of

matter.Matter is anything that has mass and
occupies space. It can be Gas, Liquid and solid.
Particle theory:
● All matter is made up of tiny particles
● All the particles of one element are identical
● Particles attract each other
● Particles are in constant motion
● Particles at higher temperatures move faster than those at lower temperatures
● (6. Matter cannot be created or destroyed)
2 types of physical properties
● Quantitative
boiling point
melting point
amount
● Qualitative
Color
oder
luster
state
Clarity
● Chemical properties
Ammability
toxicity,
acidity,
reactivity
heat of combustion.

(Proton - electron = neutron)

Key points
● Isotopes same number of protons,
different neutrons
● ion is a charged atom
