Elements and atomic number
There are many different types of atoms called elements, each with a unique set of physical and chemical properties.
A particular element is idenfied by the number of protons in its atoms. The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom is its atmoic number, represented by the symbol Z.
All of the known elements are organized according to their atomic numbers in the periodic table(元素周期表).
Isotopes
mass = # of protons + # of neutrons
C-12,C14
Common

The electromagnetic spectrum
Ultraviolet 紫外线
Radio(building) -> microwave(butterflies) -> infrared(needle point) -> visible(protozoans) -> ultraviolet(molecules) -> X-ray(Atoms) -> Gamma ray(Atomic Nuclei)
But, EM radiation travels at a slower speed in matter, such as water or glass.
Electromagnetic radiation consists of oscillating electric and magnetic fields. It can be modeled both as waves and as particles called photons. All EM radiation, from radio to gamma, travels at speed c in a vacuum. The higher the frequency of EM radiation, the higher the energy of the photons.
Human eyes can only see the visible light portion of the spectrum directly. However, we can use various detectors to make the other regions of the EM spectrum visible to us.
Finally, notice on the bottom of the EM spectrum diagram that photon energy increases as frequency increases.
Unit 2: Chemical Bonding(化学键)
Three Types of Bonds(Atomic Bonding)
- Ionic bonding: a bond formed between a metal atom and a nonmetal atom(metal-nonmetal, salt)
- Covalent bonding: a bond formed between two nonmetal atoms(nonmetal-nonmetal, oxygen, carbon dioxide)
- Metallic bonding: a sea of eletrons shared within metal atoms(metal-metal, iron)
meatls: conduct electricity, malleable(有延展性, you can bend them without breaking), solid at room temperature
nonmetals: gasses(room temperature), not conduct electricity, nobel gasses

Ionization is the process of removing an electron from a neutral atom (or compound). The energy required to remove an electron is the ionization energy. The ionization energy differs for each atom. There are trends that match the structure of the periodic table. Across a period, ionization energy tends to increase. Down a group, the ionization energy tends to decrease. Created by Sal Khan.
The number of valence electrons determines most of an atom’s chemical behaviors. So, it’s important to be able to identify how many valence electrons atoms of different elements have.
Absorption spectra of start(元素检测)
- Continuous spectrum: A continuous spectrum shows all the frequencies or wavelengths of visible light.
- Absorption line spectrum: produced when electrons absorb energy and transition from lower to higher energy levels
- Emission line spectrum: An emission line spectrum is produced when electrons emit energy and transition from higher to lower energy levels.
Each element has its own unique absorption spectrum. By comparing the absorption spectra of stars with the absorption spectra of known elements, the elemental composition of the star can be determined.

Development of the Periodic Table 元素周期表的演进
- interplay: interaction
- abundance: plenty
- analogous to: similar to 相似，模拟
The periodic table introduced by Meyer and Mendeleyev was the forerunner of the modern table of elements.
Mendeleyev and Meyer organized the known elements into a chart that revealed periodic recurrences of chemical and physical properties. Mendeleyev’s successful prediction of the properties of then- unknown elements lent support to the acceptance of the periodic law. In the 1890’s, Ramsay and Lord Rayleigh isolated argon and proposed the existence of a new series of elements.

A solution is a mixture in which all of the substances are blended completely. There many types of solutions. Sugar water is one example of a solution. In this case, the water is called the solvent while the sugar is called the solute.

Two Kinds of Mixtures
Now, there are two main kinds of mixtures: homogeneous and heterogeneous.
现在，有两种主要的混合物：同质和异质。
-
homogeneous(solution,溶液): salt and water(no boundary), can be separated by distillation(蒸馏)
-
heterogeneous: oil and water, smoke,dirty water(have boundary, see components), can be separated by filtration.(过滤, filter paper)

color
A solution of salt water, for example, will have a different freezing point depending on how much salt is dissolved in the water.
例如，盐水溶液具有不同的凝固点取决于溶解在水中的盐量。
