The Language of Chemistry
• The elements, their
names, and their

on the
PERIODIC
TABLE
• How many
elements are
there?

• An atom is the smallest particle of
an element that has the chemical
properties of the element.

The Atom
An atom consists of a nucleus (of protons
and neutrons) and electrons in space
about the nucleus.

CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS
are composed of atoms and so can
be decomposed to those atoms.

Chemistry & Matter
• We can explore the MACROSCOPIC world
— what we can see —
• Understand the PARTICULATE world
— we cannot see —
We can write SYMBOLS to describe these worlds.

STATES OF MATTER
• SOLIDS — have rigid shape, fixed
volume. External shape can reflect the
atomic and molecular arrangement.
–Reasonably well understood.
• LIQUIDS — have no fixed shape and
may not fill a container completely.
–Not well understood.
• GASES — expand to fill their
container.
–Good theoretical understanding.

Problem: A piece of
copper has a mass of
57.54 g. It is 9.36 cm
long, 7.23 cm wide,
and 0.95 mm thick.
Calculate density
(g/cm3).
30
SOLUTION
1. Get dimensions in common units.

. mm •
= 0.095 cm3
0 95
10 mm
2. Calculate volume in cubic centimeters.
(9.36 cm)(7.23 cm)(0.095 cm) = 6.4 cm3
3.
Calculate the density.
6.4 cm3
= 9.0g/cm3
57.54g
