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. word * Jolin Dalton ‘An English Sciontist Elements, Compounds and Mixtures Dalton studied matter and put forth his findings cd Dalton’s Atomic Theory. in a theory € Dalton’s Atomic 1, Matter is made up of tiny particles called heory atoms Atoms are indivisible, Atoms cannot be created or destroyed. 4, Atoms of the same element are identical in mass and other properties 5. Atoms of different elements differ in their masses and properties, 2 3 A pago from Dalton’s notebook, burnt in the bombing of Manchestor in World War Il particles called atoms that aro indivisibte. Further scientific studies showed that atoms could be divided further into still smaller ‘ording to Thomson, the atom was particles, A a positively charged solid ball with the negative electrons scattered inside it. Atoms are actually made up of negatively charged particles called electrons, positively erged 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 2 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 particles of water and common is salt; 54 3 Suga solution contains particles of water and Ae! 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 Sub-groups: Elements and Compounds.

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 eo ©0@ = _, 68 _,9 08 6 "@O0 o © Apiece of zinc 6 e200 ‘Smaller pieces of zinc Atoms of zinc (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). Elements, Compounds and Mixtures Non-metals are more abundant in the earths crust than metals, ’ Oxygen is the earth's crust, Aluminium is the clement in the ‘Technetium clement. A.

They have luster or shine when cut 3. They can be beaten into thin sheets - this Property is called malleability, 4. They can be drawn into wires — this Property is called ductility, Physical Properties Every pure substance has a set of physical Properties that are unique to that substance, This set of physical properties is often used to identify the substance, Some physical properties are given below. 1. Physical state at room temperature 2. Colour, smell and taste 3. Solubility in water 4. Density 5. Hardne: 6. Thermal conductivity 7. Electrical conductivity 8. Melting point 9. Boiling point etc. 5. They are good conductors of heat and electricity (Lead is an exception, Lead is a poor conductor of heat) 6. Metals have high boiling point and melting point. ~ Goyal’s IIT Foundation Course — Che oo 7. Metals make a sound when struck - are sonorous substances, 8. Metals are hard and cannot be cut with 4 knife, (The exceptions are sodium Potassium, Calcium as they are soft and ‘an be cut with a knife), 9.

The solution that forms when the reaction stops is soapy to touch, 2Na + 2H,O— NaOH + Ht 3. Reaction with acids Many metals react with dilute acids liberating hydrogen gas Some metals like gold, silver and platinum do not react with dilute aci Example: Zine reacts with hydrochloric acid forming zine chloride and hydrogen Zn + 2HCI> ZnCl, + Ht B. Non-Metals There are about 22 non-metals that are known, Bromine is the only non-metal which is liquid at room temperature. Other non-metals at room temperature Oxygen and silicon are the most abundant elements that are non-metals, They constitute about 75% of the earth's en Examples: Carbon, Oxyge ilphur, Chlorine ete, Nitrogen, nisiry for Class 7 a ee ical Properties Non-metals exist in all three physical states. For example, hydrogen, chlorine and oxygen are non-metals that are gases. Bromine is a non-metal that is a liquid. Todine, sulphur and carbon are non-metals that are solids. Non-metals are brittle. They break into pieces when hammered. / Non-metals are non-duetile as they break on stretching. 4, Non-metals are bad conductors of heat and electricity. The only exception is graphite which is a non-metal but a good conductor of electricity. . Non-metals do not shine. They are not phys! L Chemical Properties Non-metals react with other substances as follows. 1. Reaction with oxygen Many non-metals react with oxygen forming non-metallic oxides.

D. Inert gas elements or noble gases There are six clements that do not react with other elements. They are all gases, These elements are found in air in small quantities, Due to their non-reactive nature they are called noble or inert gas elements, The elements that are inert gas elements are Helium (He), Neon (Ne), Argon (Ar), Krypton (Kr), Xenon (Xe) and Radon (Rn), Representing elements in short form — 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 (a) For some Symbols for different element: Non-Metal: non-metals react with water “| Hydrogen is not liberated | Hydrogen is not liberated Hydrogen isnot liberated.

For example, the symbol H used for the element hydrogen conveys the following jnformation: {i) The symbol H is ofthe element hydrogen. (i) The symbol H represents one atom of hydrogen. similarly, the symbol O used for the element exygen conveys the following information: {i) The symbol O is of the element oxygen. (ii) The symbol O represents one atom of oxygen. 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. Elemenis, Compounds and Mixtures 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. Gi) (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 -@-> Examples : H, ~ Hydrogen molecule is formed when atom of Hydrogen combine chemicaiy ©, = Oxygen molecule is formed when 97 atom of Oxygen combine chemically "” N, — Nitrogen molecule is formed when ry, atom of Nitrogen combine chemie ~ Sulphur molecule is formed when ¢j atoms of Sulphur combine chemicaly P, ~ Phosphorus molecule is formed yy, four atoms of Phosphorus combic, chemically. a.

Siucaute of 4 sulphur meas, Se Formulae of some metallic oxides Metallic oxides | ___—‘Formula Magnesium oxide MgO) | Calcium oxide [C20 Zine oxide ZnO Copper oxide Cu) Formulae of some common metallic sulphides 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.
