Warm Up: Of the following substances, which are compounds and which are elements?
table salt copper wire water sugar aluminum foil
Learning Objective: I can understand the structure and behavior of matter in order to understand how living things work and interact.

Notes:
-Every living and nonliving thing is made up of matter, and all matter is made up of atoms - the smallest unit of matter that cannot be broken down by chemical means.
-Atoms are made of:
protons +
electrons -
neutrons (no charge)
-Since each atom has the same number of protons and electrons, they have no overall charge (cancels out charge)
Watch this video 'Atomic Structure' to help explain the structure of atoms.
-The Periodic Table contains elements, a substance made up of atoms that have the same number of protons. An element's identity is based on its atomic number, which is the number of protons in one atom of that element.
For example, carbon's atomic number is 6.
-The chemical reactions covered in this chapter involve electrons.
-A change in the number of electrons does not change an atom's identity.
-Atomic structure:
Electrons fill the outer shells of an atom
Only 2 electrons can fill the innermost shell
Outer shells hold eight and prefer to have their outer shell filled, making them stable.
-Hydrogen is stable when it only has 2 valence electrons
-A compound is a substance make of the bonded atoms of two or more different elements.
Comparing bonding:
Covalent - electron pairs are shared; molecules are produced; bond is the attraction for shared electrons.
Ionic - electrons are transferred; ions are produced; bond is the attraction between ions of opposite charge.

Why does that happen?
You will have noticed that the pitch of the note goes up as the amount of water in the glass decreases.You vibrate both the glass and the water at a low frequency by running your finger around the rim of the glass. As you do this, your finger sticks and slides around the edge and this action causes the vibrations. You could see that it was both the glass and the water vibrating as you could see the ripples on the surface of the water. The vibration you put in was just the right frequency to get the whole glass and water vibrating. Everything has a frequency that it naturally likes to vibrate at. This is called its resonant frequency. It occurs when we put in just the right amount of energy for an object (and it can be any object) to get vibrating. The pitch of the note went up when you drank some water because there was less stuff (mass) to vibrate. This means that the resonant frequency is a bit higher and you end up with a higher pitch note.
Reminders:
*Tutorial tomorrow & Friday
*Chapter 6 Test on Friday
Today's agenda:
Review answers to 6.3 worksheets
