Gen Chem Ch 1-3

TermDefinition
isotopic notation mass number element symbol atomic number
proton scientist: rutherford mass: 1 amu charge: 1+ location: nucleus
neutron scientist: chadwick mass: 1 amu charge: 0 location: nucleus
electron scientist: thomson mass: 0 amu charge: 1- location: outside (concentric shells)
isotopes -same element w/ same number of protons -differ in number of neutrons/masses
average atomic mass =sum of isotopes (atomic mass)(relative abundance)
molecule 2+ atoms joined together homonuclear: O2, N2, H2 heteronuclear: H2O
physical properties of matter appearance, density, boiling/melting point
chemical properties of matter conductor of electricity, combustion, redox
homogeneous quality uniform throughout *mixture*
heterogeneous quality not uniform throughout *mixture*
significant figures -all non-zero digits -zeros between non-zero digits -zeros at the end if there's a decimal
NOT significant figures zeros in front of a decimal
addition/subtraction of significant figures same number of decimal places as the number with the fewest decimal places
multiplication/division of significant figures same number of SF as the measurement with the least number of SF
dalton's laws of atomic theory -each element is composed of atoms -all atoms of given elements are identical -atoms cannot be changed into other elements through chemical processes -a compound always has the same number and kind of atoms
alkali metals group: 1A (except H) elements: Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr charge: 1+
alkaine earth metals group: 2A elements: Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Ra charge: 2+
chalcolgens group: 6A elements: O, S, Se, Te, Po charge: 2-
halogens group: 7A elements: F, Cl, Br, I, At charge: 1-
noble gases group: 8A elements: He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, Rn charge: 0
empirical formula smallest whole number ratio of atoms in the molecule
ionic compounds a transfer of electrons from a metal to a non metal, creating an electrostatic bond
rules for assigning oxidation numbers -sum of oxidation states of neutral atom= 0 -sum of ox states of cationic/anionic molecule= charge -halogen= 1- except with O or other halogens -transition metals vary -O is always -2 except in peroxides (1-)
ionic compounds type one a: metal+nonmetal (replace "ine" w/ "ide") b: metal+nonmetal polyoxyanion
ionic compounds type two a: transition metal+nonmetal (ox#, "ide") b: metal (ox#), polyoxyanion name
ionic compounds type three nonmetal+nonmetal (prefixes)
ionic compounds type four a:simple binary acids (hydro-ic acid) b:polyoxy acids (ate=ic, ite=ous)
solubility -all acetates -group 1A metals -all NH4+ salts -halogens (not Ag+,HG2,Pb2+) -SO4 (not Ba, Sr, Hg, Pb)

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
