properties as well.
Ability to conduct
electricity increases
with heat. (in contrast
with metals)
22. Properties of semi-metals
Shiny or dull
Conduct heat and electricity better than non-
metals, but weaker that metals
When heated, they can conduct electricity
better.
24. Thermal conductors or
insulators
Thermal conduction is the flow of heat from a
high temperature to a low temperature.
Metals – thermal conductors
Non-metals – thermal insulators. All materials
that trap air = poor conductors, because air is a
poor conductor.

36. Kinetic model of matter
1. All matter consist of small particles
2. Particles are in constant motion
3. Spaces between the particles
4. Constant collisions between particles and container
5. Temperature is a measure of the kinetic energy of
the particles
6. Forces between particles
7. Phase changes occur when energy changes occur
38. 1. Condensation
Prior to condensation:
* particles slow down
* not far apart
* less violent collisions
Phase change follows:
* Spaces decrease
* Forces increase
* more orderly arrangement
39. 2. Solidification
Prior to solidification:
* particles move very slowly
* particles very close to each other
* only vibrates
Phase change follows:
* very small spaces between particles
* forces between particles become very
strong
* orderly arrangement
40. 3. Melting
Prior to melting:
* particles move fast
* particles further apart
Phase change follows:
* spaces increase
* forces decrease
* less orderly arrangement
41. 4. Evaporation
Prior to evaporation
* particles move very fast
* particles very far apart
* violent collisions due to high speed
Phase change follows:
* spaces between particles are big
* forces negligible
* disorderly arrangement

48. Thomson’s atomic model
Charge and mass of
electrons of all -
substances are the
same. -
Thus, electrons in all
substances must be the
-
same.
Substances differ -
because electrons are
arranged differently.

Conclusions

greatest volume of the

Positive particles are
grouped together in the
nucleus – very heavy, but
small.
51. Assumptions
1. The positive charges are all together in a small
volume in the nucleus.
2. The nucleus is surrounded by a space that
contains the e- (v. Small mass) – e- are
responsible for the great volume of an atom.
3. Mass is concentrated in the nucleus.
Later investigations predicted that the nucleus is
positively charged. # Protons = # electrons. e-
don’t move like bees around a hive, e- would collapse
into nucleus.
52. Bohr’s atomic model
Electrons move in orbits
Electrons with the same energy move around
in the same orbit
Electrons in orbits further away from nucleus
have a higher energy
53. Planetary atomic model
e- move in energy levels
e- with same E values, move in
same E levels
Valence orbitals have higher
energy than those close to the
nucleus
Energy levels closer to the
nucleus are filled first with e-
Each energy level can only
take a specific amount of e-
e- in orbits close to the nucleus
are lower in energy level than • When e- absorb energy
orbits further away it rises in energy level.
If e- are in lowest possible • This (excited) state is
energy level – ground state unstable and e- fall back
to lower energy levels
54. Line spectra
Electrons in the ground state absorb energy. Electrons are
now excited, and move to a higher energy level.
This electron is now unstable.
It falls back to its ground state, radiating extra energy as
light.
The separate coloured lines of light show electrons only
have certain energy. Electron’s energy is thus quantised.
Each element has it’s own unique line spectrum.
Line spectra occur when gases are heated of an electric
current is passed through it.
55. Wave mechanical atomic model
Bohr’s atomic model explains the structure of
hydrogen, but not those of atoms with more than
one electron.
The discovery of wave properties of electrons
gave us a more acceptable model.
e- have both particle and wave properties.
Schrodinger stated that moving e- form a 3D wave
space that surrounds the nucleus, called an orbital.
57. Atomic mass and diameter
Atoms are extremely small with small masses.
ELEMENT AVG ATOMIC MASS
Hydrogen 1,673 55 X 10 -27
Carbon 1,994 36 X 10 -26
Oxygen 2,656 59 X 10 -26
Uranium 3,952 33 X 10 -25
Diameters are also extremely small.
Most of the volume of an atom is empty space, the
nucleus accounts for most of the mass of an atom at
the centre.
58. Relative atomic mass
Hydrogen is the lightest atom and is chosen as the standard for an
atomic mass scale.
This mass is equal to 1.
Using proportion to find the atomic masses of other elements
relative to a mass of 1.
1,673 55 X 10 -27 kg of Hydrogen = 1 on the Hydrogen scale
So, 2,656 59 X 10 -26 of oxygen = 1x2,656 59 X 10 -26 kg
1,673 55 X 10 -27 kg
= 15, 87 on the Hydrogen
scale
59. Structure of the atom
The atom consists of very many small subatomic particles.
In chemistry we work with protons, neutrons and electrons.
Protons and neutrons are in the nucleus at the centre.
Electrons occupy a large region around the nucleus and are 1836
times lighter.
When electrons and protons are equal in number, the atom is
neutral.
When an electron is removed, the atom will be positively
charged. An ion is an atom that has a charge on it.
Cations are positively charged atoms.
Anions are negatively atoms.
61. Isotopes
Carbon (atomic # 6) has three natural isotopes
with atomic weights of 12, 13 and 14.
isotope #p #n
====== == ==
C-12 6 6
C-13 6 7
C-14 6 8
Tin (Sn, atomic # 50) has ten natural isotopes with
atomic masses of 112, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119,
120, 122 and 124. How many protons and neutrons
do these isotopes have?
62. Radioactive or Stable?
Radioactivity is a nuclear phenomenon: it comes as a
result of a particular structure in a nucleus.
A radioactive atom is considered unstable. All unstable
atoms emit radioactivity (usually by ejecting nuclear
particles) in order to reach a stable configuration.
This is the process of radioactive decay
So, not all atoms will be radioactive, just a small proportion
of isotopes with unstable nuclei.
The bulk of isotopes are stable, or non-radioactive.
63. Stable and Radioactive Isotopes
Carbon (atomic # 6) has three natural isotopes
with atomic weights of 12, 13 and 14.
isotope #p #n
====== == ==
C-12 6 6
C-13 6 7
C-14 6 8
C-14 is a radioactive isotope; C-12 and C-13 are stable.
Over time the proportion of C-12/C-14 and C-13/C-14
will increase until there is no C-14.
(unless some process makes new C-14...)
64. Radioactivity Inside You
Concerned about radioactivity in nature?
To keep things in perspective, consider that 0.01% of all
potassium is radioactive K-40.
Potassium is an essential element in the human body.
If your body is about 1% K, this means a 70 kg
(150 pound) person contains around
1x1021 atoms (that’s one billion trillion atoms)
of radioactive K-40.
65. Energy levels in an atom
Energy of an atom is quantized, meaning your
electrons all have discrete amounts of energy.
Electrons are thus limited to a specific energy level,
Which you learned in grade 8 was an orbital.
These main energy levels are indicated by n, and
1, 2, or 3 following it.
eg. n = 1
66. Energy levels in an atom
Each of these main energy levels are then
sub-divided into sub-energy levels, which are
indicated by the numbers s, p, d and f.
s<p<d
energy
67. Energy levels in an atom
Electrons are constantly moving, and it is impossible
to determine the position of an electron.
Experimentation has indicated the most likely area of
motion. This area is known as an orbital.
s-level = one s-orbital, two electrons
p-level = 3 p-orbitals, six electrons
d-level = 5 d-orbitals, 10 electrons
69. Electron occupation of orbitals
The distribution of electrons occur according
to the Aufbau principle.
●Pauli's exclusion principle:
An orbital can carry a max. of 2 electrons, if
it spins in opposite directions.
●Electrons fill orbitals with the lowest energy
first. The atom is most stable in its lowest
state of energy.
70. Electron occupation of orbitals
●When the same kind of orbitals are
available, you first add one electron to each
orbital, and then fill them up. HUND'S RULE
●2n² = amount of electrons in that orbital

numerically by the number of electrons in their shells
and number of shells. For example;

82. Atomic radius left to right in a period
