Dynamic Chemistry & Car Crashes
Dynamic Chemistry
Matter – Any substance that has volume & mass. E.g. EVERY THING
Atom – The smallest non living thing that can exist.
Atomic Structure –

Particle | Symbol | Location | Charge | Mass | Proton | P | Nucleus | +1 | 1Heavy | Neutron | N | Nucleus | 0 | 1Heavy | Electron | E | Electron Shell or Orbit | -1 | 12000Light |

History of the Atom – The model of the atom has changed with time.
Dalton – solid shape (no subatomic particles)
(indivisible particle)

Rutherford - (subatomic particles)

(electronic shells have a definite number of electrons)
(2,8,18…)

Atomic Number = number of protons = number of electrons

Atomic Mass = Neutrons + Protons = Neutrons + Atomic Number

Neutrons = Atomic Mass – Atomic Number
Therefore N = Big Number – Little Number
Therefore N = Big Number – Little Number

Electron Shells
Number of electrons in shell = 2n2

1st Shell = 2 x (1)2 = 2
2nd Shell = 2 x (2)2 = 8
3rd Shell = 2 x (3)2 = 18

p = 6 e = 6 n = 12 – 6 = 6

Group = have similar properties
Period = do not have similar properties.
= if you go from left to right the elements move from metals to semi metals to non-metals.

Simple circuit to test for conduction of electricity

If the light bulb lights up this means that the material is conductive.

Definition:

Element -A pure substance. -Made up of one type of atom. -Each element differs by the number p, e, n. -There are 118 known elements. -Elements cannot be physically or chemically separated.
Solid
-Low compressibility
-Have their own shape
Solid
-Low compressibility
-Have their own shape - E.g He, C, N, O

Solid * Takes container shape * Particles not connected

Liquid
-Particles take the shape of the container
-low compressibility

Compounds:
-2 or more elements chemically combined in a fixed ratio by mass. -They are pure substances -Can be broken down by chemical means. -Can not be broken down by physical means. -New compounds are formed by re-arranging atoms.
Mixture:
-A combination of two or more substances (elements, compounds) in NO fixed ratio. - Not pure - Can be separated by physical means (filtration, evaporation, chromatography)

Naming Compounds:
Naming Ionic Compounds
-metal + non-metal
= metal non-metalide

2) Covalent- 2 non-metals non-metal + non-metal > Remember to use di, tri, tetra… etc.

Speed & Acceleration
Speed
How far an object travels in a given amount of time s=dt (units= m/s or km/hr)
Constant Speed- Same Speed throughout journey
Average Speed- The speed varies over the journey & therefore we average the distance & time. * * * * * * * * * * * * Acceleration
The ability for an object to go faster and faster.
Acceleration ∆speed∆time ms-2 or m/s2 * * Gravitational Field of Earth * Acceleration due to gravity
All objects close to the earth’s surface accelerate at 9.8m/s2 * * Weight
How much matter is present under a gravitational force.
Units- g or kg * * Mass
How much matter there is present
Units- g or kg * * Relationships between mass and weight
Mass stays the same
Weight changes depending on force of gravity (9.8 m/s2)
W= m x g
M= mass
G= gravity
W= weight
Parachute- ↓ acceleration of an object from 200 km/h to 20 km/h
Hammer & Feather (Apollo 15)- all objects land at the same time regardless of mass and weight) * * Definitions
Displacement- How far you are from the initial location * (Units- m, km)
Distance- how far you travel (Units- m, km)
Speed – how far an object travels in a given time (units – m/s, km/h)
Velocity – is speed in a given direction * Units
Acceleration m/s2
Speed/ Velocity m/s, km/h
Distance/ Displacement m, km
Force N (newton)
Energy J (joules) * Newton’s 3 laws
First Law (Inertia) * - An object will remain stationary unless a force is applied to it. * - An object will remain at constant speed unless a force is applied to it. * Second law * F=ma * Third Law * For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. * * Crumple Zone * -A Crumple zone increases the time before the force hits the occupant & allows for the force to be reduced. * Airbags * -↑ the time for the force to hit the occupant, protects chest and head * * Seat Belts * -harness * -lap/sash * -lap *
ABS brakes * -Allows the car in wet or rough conditions to regain control & stops quickly. * -Brake x times to allow for control of the car. *
Head Rest * -Prevents neck injuries by providing support *
Helmet
* The helmet spreads the force.
