The Building Blocks of Matter

From experiments involving the high-speed collision of particles, scientists have determined that heavy nuclear particles, such as protons and neutrons, are composed of quarks. The name “quark” was taken from a novel. Quarks are classified into six flavors—up, down, strange, charm, bottom, and top. The flavors are not related to any physical characteristics of the quarks themselves, but are used as classifications. Unlike protons and electrons, which carry whole charges of +1 or –1, quarks carry fractional charges. The following table lists some information about quarks.

The Mole

You have learned that the mass of atoms is measured in atomic mass units. This unit is too small to use in everyday measurement. It would be simpler to have a number of atoms that would have a mass in grams that is equal to the mass of one atom in atomic mass units. The same number would fit all elements, because equal numbers of different atoms always have the same mass ratio. Chemists have found that 6.02 ✕ 1023 atoms of an element have a mass in grams equivalent to the mass of one atom in atomic mass units. This counting unit is called a mole. For example, one mole of helium atoms has a mass of 4 grams because helium has a mass number of 4. Do you know how big a number a mole is? Suppose the entire population of the world, more than four billion people, were assigned to count the number of atoms in one mole of helium. If each person counted one atom per second and worked a 48-hour work week, the task would take more than 10 million years. If you had one mole of pennies, you would have enough money to pay all the expenses of the United States for the next billion years. 1. A mole is a certain number of items. What number does each of the following terms represent? a. dozen ______________

d. mole ______________

b. billion ______________

e. gross ______________

c. million ______________ 2. Using a laboratory balance, measure and record the mass of one mole of each of the following elements: carbon, iron nails, zinc metal, and copper wire.

3. Find the mass, in grams, of each of the following: a. 2 moles of aluminum ______________ b. 4 moles of magnesium ______________ c. 3 moles of helium ______________ 4. How many moles are in each of the following: a. 156 grams of chromium ______________ b. 156 grams of potassium ______________ c. 119 grams of uranium ______________ 5. Why is the counting unit called a mole useful for chemists?

Predicting an Element’s Group and Period

Several scientists, including Newlands, Meyer, and Mendeleev worked on classification systems that grouped elements according to their properties. They found that these properties repeated in a regular or periodic manner. This fact was used to predict properties of undiscovered elements. Review electron arrangement from your textbook. In Table 1, write the maximum number of electrons that can fill each energy level on the blanks in the table heading. Write the total number of electrons for each element in the first column labeled Total. For each element, assign the correct number of electrons to each energy level. Complete Table 2 by using the information from the six elements studied.

An individual atom is so small that it would take 50 million of them lined up in a row to equal one centimeter! Atoms, however, can be divided into component parts, and, amazingly, some of these parts have particles that are tinier yet. Below is an image created by these subatomic particles taken in a device called a bubble chamber.

How old are these mummified cats found in an Egyptian tomb? Carbon-14 holds the answer. Carbon-14 is a radioactive form of carbon, an element found in every living thing. By measuring how much carbon-14 remains in these cats, scientists can tell approximately how many years ago the cats were buried.

1. Carbon-14 decays over time. What does “decay” mean? 2. Why do you think carbon is used by scientists to date objects such as mummies, bones, and cloth wrappings? 3. Is it possible to use carbon-14 dating on things that were never alive? Why or why not? Properties of Atoms and the Periodic Table

When you hear the word uranium, you might think of nuclear power. Uranium, though, was used in the 19th century by European glassmakers to create what was called uranium glass. This interesting glass had a yellowish-green color and glows under certain lighting conditions.
