4,0 INTRODUCTION
‘Any seionce is a systematic study by
experimentation, observation and drawing
inferences. Chemistry isa branch of seience that
deals with a systematic study of the composition
of matter and the reactions that take place
between matter, A study of chemistry tells us
how substances behave with other substances,
It also explains about,
how different chemical
substances join together
to form new substances
For example, when wood
is burnt it turns to ash
with the release of hea
and light, Some gas
like carbon dioxide are
also released,
The burning of wood is a chemical reaction.
In order to understand the nature of different
I reactions, it
Burning of wood
chemical substances and chemica
is important to know about the fundamental
building blocks of all chemicals ~ the atom.
4.1 ATOM
The word ‘atom’ comes from the Greek
tomos” meaning
indivisible, It was John
Dalton, an English
scientist, who proposed in
1808, that matter consists
of very small particles
called atoms, According to
Dalton if matter is divided
into smaller and smaller parts we will finally
get a very small particle that cannot be divided
any further,
Dalton called the smallest particle of matter
that was not divisible any further as an atom.

Atoms are indivisible,
Atoms cannot be created or destroyed.
4, Atoms of the same element are identical

electrons scattered inside it.
Atoms are actually made up of negatively
charged particles called electrons, positivelyerged and neutrally
rtictes called protons
aoe paricles called neutrons.
1.2 MATTER
All materials around us are made of matter.
Books, tables, chairs, the air we breathe, the
water we drink, the food we cat, our body, the
sun, the moon, the earth are all made up of
matter. Let us define matter.
Matter is anything that occupies space, has
mass and can be perceived by our senses.
Thus, there are three essential conditions
for something to be called matter. They are as
follows.
1, It must occupy space.
2. It must have mass.
3. We must be able to perceive it by our
senses, i.¢., be able to touch, smell, see
or taste it,
We see so many different kinds of matter
around us. Different kinds of matter differ from
each other in their composition and properties,
They differ in colour, size, weight, volume,
composition, melting points, boiling points and
solubility in water, Besides these differences,
they differ from cach other in many ways.
1.3 CLASSIFICATION OF MATTER
To study all the different kinds of matter
accurately and con veniently, matter is classified
into two broad categories: Pure substances
and Mixtures,
A pure substance con: ists
only one kind. Examples
Of particles of gold only;
Particles of wai

of particles of
Pure gold consists
pure water contains,
ler only,
A mixture consists of particles of ing
than one kind. Examples: salt solution eon

ir Discovery of electron
1, During the 1870: glish chemist
and physicist Sir William Crookes
developed the first cathode ray tube |
2. In 1874, the Irish physicist G J Stoney
suggested that there existed a “singip
definite quantity of electricity’. However, |
Stoney believed these charges wers
permanently attached to atoms and
could not be removed. In 1894, Stoney |
coined the term electron to represent
these elementary charges.
3. In 1896, British physicist J J Thomson,
performed experiments showing that
cathode rays really were unique
particles. Thomson called the cathode
ray particles ‘corpuscles.’
4. However, it was only at the end of the
nineteenth century that these various
concepts came together to form a
unified theory based upon an electron
as a fundamental component of matter. |
Only later, Rutherford in 1911 and Neil |
Bohr in 1912 and Chadwick in 1932
showed that all atoms are made ‘up of
three particles ~electrons, protons and
neutrons,
Ce ad i]
Classifying matter
Matter is anything that occupies space, has
mass and can be perceived by our senses.
With this definition of matter in mind, can you
identify different kinds of matter around you?
Try to make a list of at least 20-25 different
kinds of matter that you see around you.|
Do you see any similarities between any of
them? Try to group them according to some
similarity that you can think of, into four or
five groups, }
Pure substances are further classified into ‘vo

4.4 PURE SUBSTANCES
Pure substances contain particles of only one
kind, Pure substances are further classified into
Elements and Compounds.
4.5 ELEMENTS
Elements are simple pure substances made up
of only one kind of particles that cannot be
decomposed or divided any further into simpler |
chemical substances.
Examples: Oxygen, nitrogen, carbon,
hydrogen, iron, copper, gold, silver.
Characteristics of elements
‘An element has the following important
characteristics
() An element is made up of atoms of only
one kind. It has uniform composition — in
other words elements are homogeneous in
nature.
The atoms of an element are all identical
They differ from the atoms of other elements

(ii) An element cannot be broken by chemical
methods or physical methods into simpler
substances.
(iii) An element has specific physical properties
like physical state, density, colour,
odour, taste, melting point and boiling
point.
(iv) Ancelement has specific chemical properties
like reactivity with other substances.
(v) An element occurs either in the free state
as free element or in combination with
other elements as a compound.
Mlustration: A piece of aluminium sheet contains
only aluminium atoms. Aluminium cannot be
broken or decomposed by chemical methods
into any simpler substances. Similarly, a wire
made of copper contains atoms of copper only
and can be decomposed by chemical methods
into simpler substances,
Number of Elements Known
At present, around 116 elements are known.
Out of these around 92 occur naturally in the
earth’s crust while the rest are artificially created
by man.
1. At ordinary room temperature, most
elements are solids.
2. One element — Mercury is a liquid.
3. There are eleven elements that are gases—
Hydrogen, Helium, Oxygen, Nitrogen,
Fluorine, Neon, Chlorine, Argon, Krypton,
Xenon and Radon.
. More than 80 elements are metallic
elements while around 22 are non-metallic
elements.
. Some elements are radioactive elements as
they emit radiation which is often harmful.
Distribution of elements in the earth’s crust
All the elements do not occur in nature in equal
abundance. Some elements like oxygen, silicon,
aluminium, iron, calcium are more abundant than
the other elements. About 90% of the earth’s
crust is made up of these five elements,
Abundance of elements in the universe
Elements like hydrogen and helium are the
| main elements present in the sun and stars.
Hydrogen is the most abundant element in
the universe.
Classification of Elements
Based on their properties, the elements are
classified into four groups as follows.
(A) Metals (82).
(B) Non-metals (22).
(C) Metalloid (7).
(D) Noble gases (6).

Symbols of Elements
With so many elements existing either in the
free state or in the combined state with other
elements, it would be more convenient if we
could represent these elements- in the free state
or in the combined state in a short form.
When we use the letters PTO at the end of
@ page we know that it stands for ‘please turn
over.’ We turn the page and continue to read
when we come across these words. Similarly,
we use the short form etc. at the end of a list
of things. This is short form for etcetera which

Elements are made up of atoms
Elements are pure substances that are made
of small particles called atoms.
“Atoms are the smallest particles of matter
that may or may not exist independently and
take part in chemical reactions.
The structure of the atom is as follows.
1. The atoms have electrons, protons and
neutrons in them.
(i) The electrons are negatively charged
particles.
(ii) The protons are positively charged
particles.
(iii) The neutrons are neutrally charged
particles,
‘The number of electrons is equal to the
number of protons. Since the negatively
charged particles (electrons) are equal to
the positively charged particles (protons)
the atom is neutral.
The protons and neutrons are present in
a small central region called the nucleus.
The electrons revolve around the nucleus
at high speeds.
The Atomic Number of an element gives
the number of protons in the atom. This
number is equal to the number of electrons
in the neutral atom. For example, the
Atomic number of sodium is 11. This
means that each sodium atom has !1
protons and 11 electrons. Similarly, the
‘Atomic number of oxygen is 8. This means
that each oxygen atom has 8 protons and
8 electrons.

6. The electrons revolve around the nucleus
in orbits of increasing radius.
1.6 COMPOUNDS
Elements exist in free state as well as in
combined state. When elements exist in the
combined state, it is actually the atoms of the
elements that combine to form what Dalton called
‘compound atoms’, We call the combined state
of elements as compounds.
‘A compound is a pure substance formed by
the chemical combination of atoms of the same
or different elements in a fixed ratio by mass.
Example 1: Chalk is a compound made up
of atoms of calcium, carbon and oxygen
combined in the ratio 10 : 3 : 12 by weight.
Example 2: Water is a compound made
up of atoms of hydrogen and oxygen
combined in the ratio 1: 8 by weight.
Example 3: Carbon dioxide is a compound
made up of atoms of carbon and oxygen
combined in the ratio 3:8 by weight.
Thus, a compound is made up of two or more
molecules of one or more elements combined
chemically in a fixed proportion by weight.
Compounds have specific physical properties
like physical state, density, colour, odour, taste,
MP and BP. They also have specific chemical
properties like reactivity with other substances.
The physical and chemical properties will be
different from those of the elements in the
compound.
Characteristics of compounds
‘A compound has the following important
characteristics
(i) Compounds have a uniform composition—
in other words they are homogeneous in
nature.
The properties of compounds are different
from those. of its constituent elements.
Compounds can be broken down into their
constituent elements by chemical methods
but not by physical methods like boiling,
distilling etc.
Compounds have a fixed composition of
their own.

(iii)
(iv)(v) Energy is cither absorbed or released
during the formation of a compound.
(vi) A compound can be represented by its
formula.
Molecules
Molecules are the smallest particles of a
substance that can be an element or a compound
that can exist independently and are made up
of two or more atoms combined chemically in
a fixed proportion by weight and exhibit all the
properties of that substance.
Example 1: Water molecule
(i) Each molecule of water consists of two
atoms of hydrogen and one atom of
oxygen.
(ii) The two elements hydrogen and oxygen
are combined in a ratio of 1:8 by weight.
(iii) A water molecule can exist independently.
Example 2: Sulphur dioxide molecule
(i) Each molecule of sulphur dioxide consists
of one atom of sulphur and two atoms of
oxygen.
(ii) The two elements sulphur and oxygen are
combined in a ratio of 1:1 by weight.
(ii) A sulphur dioxide molecule can exist
independently.
Example 3: Hydrogen molecule
(i) Each molecule of hydrogen consists of
two atoms of hydrogen.
(ii) The two atoms are combined chemically.
A hydrogen molecule can exist
independently.
Two atoms of hydrogen join to form one
molecule of the element hydrogen

Elements that do not combine
Atoms of metals and metalloids do not
combine with their own types of atoms.
Similarly, the atoms of inert gases exist
free under all conditions. So their atoms are
regarded as molecules, The molecules of all
these elements are said to be monoatomic
molecules.
A formula is a short form representation
of « compound.
To write a formula, the symbols of all the
clements are written close together with small
subscripts that show the number of atoms of that
clement that have combined chemically.
