Q

Classification of matter

A
  • The four components of matter are solids, liquids, gases, and plasmas
  • Matter can be divided into pure substances and mixtures.
  • Pure substances may be elements (containing atoms of the same type–for instance, silicon (Si) or compounds (containing 2 or more different types of atoms–for example, silicon dioxide (SiO2)
  • Mixtures may be heterogeneous (with a composition that caries throughout, such as gravel) or homogeneous (with a unifrm composition throughout, such as solutions of sugar dissolved in water)

Q

Atoms: Compounds

A
  • Ionic compounds are composed of oppositely charged ions. Electrons are either added or subtracted from atoms to form ions.
  • Molecular compounds are composed of molecules, which ate made up of atoms.
  • The four states of matter, elements, compounds, and mixtures are on the macroscopic scale (can view with the naked eye), individual molecules, ions, and atoms are on the sub-microscopic or nanoscale (one-billionth of a meter)

Q

Cu

A
  • Atomic number = 29
  • Therefore ti contains 29 protons (29+ charge).
  • To balance the charge, it contains 29 lectrons (29 - charge).
  • Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons (0 charge)
  • Number of neutrons = 63 -29 = 34

A
  • Answer is based on the smallest decimal places.

- For instance, 1.003 + 0.2 + 0.001 g = 1.2 g

28
Q

Multiplication/division

A
  • Answer based on the smallest number of significant figures.

29
Q

Scientific notation

A 
11000 = 1.1 x 10^4
0.00021 = 2.1 x 10^-4
0.001021 = 1.021 x 10^-3
1730 = 1.73 x 10^3
**The same number of significant figures on both sides of each example
30
Q

Scientific notation: Moving decimals

A

Very small numbers move the decimal to the right, large numbers move the decimal to the left

31
Q

A
  • 99.9999999999
  • An analogy for the 12N purity of silicon: Stack 170 yellow tennis balls from Earth to the moon, replace 1 yellow tennis ball with a red one, this reflects how few impurities are present in this ultra-high purity silicon
33
Q

From silicon to computer chip

A
  • Ultra-high purity silicon (5N, 7N, or 12N purity)
  • At high temperatures, silicon is fabricated into cylinders (ingots) and sliced into wafers
  • Hundreds of processing steps are used to fabricate a computer chip on the surface of silicon wafers
  • Chips are removed from the wafer and tested
  • The chips that are tested satisfactorily are sealed and packaged
34
Q

Q

What’s in a breath

A

In addition to nitrogen, oxygen, and other colorless gases, there are harmful nitrogen oxides and particulate matter that contribute to air pollution

41
Q

Air inversions

A
  • Cooler air can be trapped beneath warmer air due to weather conditions

  • This situation is worsened when air flow is limited, such as in cities surrounded by mountains
42
Q

Visualizing the molecules in air

A
  • A molecule is a fixed number of atoms held together by chemical bonds in a certain spatial arrangement.
  • The chemical formula symbolically represents the type and number of each element present.
  • Chemists use three viewpoints to study and understand matter, macroscopic, symbolic, and particulate

  • Means 210 parts per thousand.
  • Means 2,100 parts per ten thousand.
  • Means 21,000 parts per hundred thousand.
  • Means 210,000 parts per million
