  • Slide 2
  • California State Standards: 1) Elements and their combinations account for all the matter in the world. As a basis for understanding this concept: 1.b) Students know all matter is made of atoms, which may combine to form molecules. 1.d) Students know that each element is made of one kind of atom and that the elements are organized in the periodic table by their chemical properties. 1.f) Students know differences in chemical and physical properties of substances are used to separate mixtures and identify compounds

  • Atoms and Elements Big Idea- All matter is made up of atoms.
  • Slide 13
  • Atoms and Elements Centuries ago, Greek thinkers wondered about the smallest unit of matter, which they called an atom. An atom is the smallest unit of an element. It consists of smaller particles known as protons (+), neutrons, and electrons (-)
  • Slide 14
  • Atoms and Elements In an atom, all the protons, neutrons, and electrons are alike.
  • Slide 15
  • Atoms and Elements When these particles combine, an element is formed. An element is the simplest form of matter because it contains only one type of atom. Examples: Carbon, Oxygen, Iron, Hydrogen
  • Slide 16
  • Atoms and Elements The relationship between atoms and elements can be compared to a building.
  • Slide 17
  • Atoms and Elements The relationship between atoms and elements can be compared to a building. - Atoms = bricks -Elements = building
  • Slide 18
  • Atoms and Elements Each type of atom has the properties of a certain element. Carbon atoms have the properties of carbon. Gold atoms have the properties of gold.
  • Slide 19
  • Atoms and Elements Elements are given names based on the combination of the protons, neutrons, and electrons. The number of protons an atom has determines the element. This is known as the elements atomic number.
  • Slide 20
  • Atoms and Elements An element name can be written in a short form with one to three letters that stand for that element. The symbol is the first few letters of the name. For others, such as iron (Fe), the symbol comes from the original Latin or Greek name for the element
  • Slide 21
  • Atoms and Elements The early Greeks thought there were four elements- earth, air, water, and fire. Today, we know there are more than 100 elements. They combine to form millions of substances. Only a slight few exist in their pure form in nature.

  • Slide 34
  • The Periodic Table As we learned earlier, Elements are the building blocks of matter. They combine to form millions of substances.
  • Slide 35
  • The Periodic Table As we learned earlier, Elements are the building blocks of matter. They combine to form millions of substances. Everything in the world is made from combinations of the same element.
  • Slide 36
  • The Periodic Table Atoms of each element have a certain number of protons. For example: Each hydrogen atom has only one proton. Each iron atoms has 26 protons. The number of protons is the elements atomic number.
  • Slide 37
  • The Periodic Table The elements are arranged in order of the atomic number on a chart called the periodic table. periodic means repeating in a pattern. Atomic numbers increase as you move across a row and down a column. You would read the periodic table like a book, from left to right.
  • Slide 38
  • The Periodic Table Each element has its own box that includes the atomic number, the name, and the symbol. ELEMENTS NAME ATOMIC NUMBER SYMBOL
  • Slide 39
  • The Periodic Table Which element has 12 protons? What is the atomic number for copper (Cu)?
  • Slide 40
  • The Periodic Table The periodic table tells us a lot about each element.
  • Slide 41
  • The Periodic Table The periodic table tells us a lot about each element. The left side of the table are metals. The right side of the table are non-metals. Many of these are gases.
  • Slide 42
  • The Periodic Table The elements in each column of the table have similar chemical properties. Example: the elements in the column 1 are soft metals that can be cut by a knife. Because of these similarities, scientists can predict what the elements will be like.
  • Slide 43
  • Show What You Know In your own words, describe the periodic table.

  • Molecules and Compounds
  • Slide 51
  • Big Idea Pure substances are made of molecules and compounds.
  • Slide 52
  • Molecules and Compounds As we previously learned, elements are rarely found in their pure form in nature.
  • Slide 53
  • Molecules and Compounds As we previously learned, elements are rarely found in their pure form in nature. Most are found in compounds- a combination of two or more elements that has been combined chemically.
  • Slide 54
  • Molecules and Compounds As we previously learned, elements are rarely found in their pure form in nature. Most are found in compounds- a combination of two or more elements that has been combined chemically. Two elements combine to make one substance.
  • Slide 55
  • Molecules and Compounds Think of compounds like compound words. A compound word is made up of two words that make up a new word. Like a compound word, compounds are two elements that combine to make a new substance.
