Element: Simplest form of matter to have unique chemical properties. Atom: The smallest particles with unique chemical identities. Nucleus: Center of an atom (composed of protons and neutrons). Proton: Have a single positive charge (+1). Neutron: Have no charge. Electron: Tiny particles with a single negative charge and very low mass (-1)/determines chemical bonding properties of an atom. Atomic Number: Number of protons in the nucleus. Atomic Mass: Approximate number of protons and neutrons

Properties and changes are used to describe matter. A property is a trait of matter‚ when that sample of matter is in a fixed state. There are two different types of properties: physical properties and chemical properties. A change is something that alters the properties of a substance. There are two types of changes: chemical changes and physical changes. A physical property is a property that can be observed without changing the makeup (or composition) of a substance. Some examples of a physical

Water is the most important substance in our evolution and our daily lives. Without water‚ life as we know it would not have been possible. This essay will examine the water molecule in order to ascertain how it brought about Earth’s successful ecosystem and how important it is to us today. Each water molecule consists of one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms. The oxygen atom bears a slight electronegative charge while hydrogen possesses a more positive one. Because opposite charges attract‚ the

Physical properties can be seen‚ touched‚ or even measured without the identity of the substance changing. The identity of the substance can be its shape or color. Three physical forms of a substance are solid‚ liquid‚ and gas. Water for example can transform into all three physical forms without its identity changing. The characteristic of water as a shape can be used as an example of a physical property. Water can be frozen into ice‚ vaporized‚ or liquidized. The shape of water as a solid is

Soil properties: Some physical and chemical properties of the soil were measured‚ which are presented in Table 1. The availability of nutrients and even contaminants depends on the degree of soil acidity. The most suitable pH for soil microorganism’ activity is 7‚ as nutrient solubility depends on soil pH changes (Riser-Roberts‚ 1998). The soil used in the present study has neutral pH and therefore does not limit the activity of microorganisms or the solubility of nutrients except for phosphorus

Properties of Water Introduction: Water’s chemical description is H2O. As the diagram to the left shows‚ that is one atom of oxygen bound to two atoms of hydrogen. The hydrogen atoms are "attached" to one side of the oxygen atom‚ resulting in a water molecule having a positive charge on the side where the hydrogen atoms are and a negative charge on the other side‚ where the oxygen atom is. This uneven distribution of charge is called polarity. Since opposite electrical charges attract‚ water

The first property of water is that it is an excellent solvent. This is because of the chemical composition and physical attributes of water. Since water is polar‚ it allows water molecules to become attracted to different molecules. The attraction can be so powerful that it can disrupt the attractive forces of the different molecules. For example‚ water can be heavily attracted to salt that it can disrupt the forces that hold sodium and chloride‚ therefore dissolving it. The second property of water
