 What is Chemistry?
Chemistry is NOT the study of chemicals, but the
study of matter.
 What is Matter?
Matter is anything that takes up
space and has mass.
 Stop and Think!
Matter (M) or Not Matter (NM)
 Stop and Think- M or NM

 Challenge!
Who can remember the 3 parts of
the Atomic Theory?!?!
 The Atomic Theory
ALL MATTER IS COMPOSED OF
ATOMS.
This means that atoms are the building
block of matter.
ATOMS OF A GIVEN ELEMENT ARE
IDENTICAL.
This means that all atoms of the same element
have the same number of protons and electrons.
ATOMS OF DIFFERENT ELEMENTS COMBINE
IN SIMPLE WHOLE-NUMBER RATIOS TO FORM
CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS.
This means that the ways atoms combine to form
compounds is determined by the valence electrons of
an element.
 Atoms
All matter is made of tiny particles
called atoms.
 Atoms
Atoms are made of protons,
neutrons, and electrons.
See What You Remember!
 Elements
A pure substance made of only one
kind of atom
 Compounds
two or more elements that have
chemically combined.
 Mixture
a combination of two or more
substances that HAVE NOT been
chemically combined.
 Challenge!
Who can remember the two types of
mixtures?

CHEMICAL FORMULAS ARE JUST

RECIPES FOR A MOLECULE.
So Lets See What We Remember!
1. Which atomic particle can be
found in the outer part of an atom?
a. proton
b. neutron
c. nucleus
d. electron
2. How many more atoms does hydrogen
peroxide (H2O2) have than water (H2O)?

a. One
b. Two
c. Three
d. Four
3. Which best describes how
carbon dioxide and salt are similar?
a. They are both mixtures made up of
atoms from a single element.
b. They are both compounds made up
of atoms from a single element.
c. They are both mixtures made up of
atoms from two different elements.
d. They are both compounds made up
of atoms from two different elements.
4. Which best explains the difference
between an element and a compound?

a. Elements cannot occur naturally, while

compounds naturally occur.
b. Elements have specific properties, while
compounds do not have specific properties.
c. Elements cannot be broken down, while
compounds can because they join together in a
specific pattern.
d. Elements can be broken down, while
compounds cannot because they are
composed of two or more mixtures.
 5. Which is NOT an example of
something made of matter?
a. Bubble gum
b. Thunder
c. A basketball
d. A desk
