Question
Answer
the number of electrons in the outermost shell that have the highest energy level and are held most loosely in place   valence electrons  
🗑
the number of __________ determines many properties of the element, including ways in which the atom can _________ with other atoms   electrons/bonds  
🗑
a symbol for an element surronded by dots the represent the number of __________ __________. It is a visual representation.   valence electrons and this is the definition of a electron dot diagram  
🗑
is a characteristic of a substance that can be observed without changing the substance into another substance   physical property  
🗑
give 3 examples of a physical property   color, hardness, texture, shine, flexibility  
🗑
is a characteristic of a substance that describes its ability to change into other substances   chemical property  
🗑
give 3 examples of a chemical property   burning, tarnishing, rusting  
🗑
is any change that alters the form or apperance of a substance but that does not make the substance into another substance   physical change  
🗑
give 3 examples of a physical change   bending, breaking, cutting, crushing, phase change  
🗑
is a change in matter that produces one or more new substances   chemical reaction  
🗑
give 3 examples of a chemical reaction   burning, glow sticks, our reaction  
🗑
a reaction in which energy is absorbed   endothermic reaction  
🗑
give an example of an endothermic reaction   frying an egg  
🗑
a reaction that releases energy in the form of heat   exothermic reaction  
🗑
give an example of an exothermic reaction   fuel + oxygen changing into energy in an engine  
🗑
a short, easy way to show a chemial reaction using symbols instead of words   chemical equations  
🗑
the small number following a chemical symbol that tells how many atoms there are of that element. If there is no number after the symbol it is understood to be one.   subscript  
🗑
are large numbers in front of an element that tell how many molecules there are of that compound   coefficents  
🗑
everything that goes into a chemical equation or what is on the left of the arrow   reactants  
🗑
everything that comes out of the reaction or is on the right side of the arrow   products  
🗑
shows that a chemical reaction has taken place. reads "yields" or "to produce"   arrow  
🗑
are used to separate two or more reactants or products. on the reactant side it is read as "combindes with" on product side it is read as "and"   plus signs  
🗑
states that during a chemical reaction matter is not created or destroyed. Whatever goes in on the reactant side must come out on the product side in the same amount. They can be in a different form.   Conservation of mass  
🗑
states that the total mass of the reactant must equal the total mass of the product.   The principle of Conservation of Mass  
🗑
is a chemical reaction in which some of the products escape and can’t be measured   open system  
🗑
is a chemical reaction that takes place in a contained setting where all products can be measured   closed system  
🗑
give an example of a open system   fireplace  
🗑
give an example of a closed system   our reaction in ziploc  
🗑
the same number of atoms of each element must be on each side of the equation.   Golden Rule  
🗑
the basic particle from which all elements are made   atom  
🗑
a neutral particle made of two or more atoms joined by covalent bonds   molecule  
🗑
a pure substance that cannot be broken down into other substances by physical or chemical means   element  
🗑
a pure substance made of two or more elements chemically combinde   compound  
🗑

what 2 elements did Marie Curie discover?   polonium & radium  
🗑
consist of two protons and two neutrons with a positive charge   alpha particle  
🗑
fast-moving electron givin off by the nucleus during radioactive decay   beta particle  
🗑
consists of high-energy waves, similar to X-rays. Has no charge and does not change the atomic number or atomic mass   gamma radiation  
🗑
name the uses of radioactive isotopes   tracing the steps in a chemical reaction and industrial process, and diagnosing and treating disease  
🗑
are radioactive isotopes that can be followed through the steps of a chemical reaction or industrial process   tracers  
🗑
