Matter

QuestionAnswer
An atom that has more protons than electrons. A positive ion.
Properties of matter that do not changed a substance into a new substance are what kind of properties Physical
Define molecule A group of atoms connected by covalent bonds.
Define matter Anything that has mass and takes up space.
What happens to a liquid at its freezing point. Water will turn from a liquid to a solid.
At what temperature does water freeze 0* C or 32* F
What happens to a liquid at its boiling point? Water will turn from a liquid to a gas with an increase in the movement of molecules.
At what temperature does water boil? 100* C or 212* F
How can state of matter change? Matter can change with the introduction of heat and or pressure.
Define isotope Atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons.
Define ionic bond The bond between two ions formed through the transfer of one or more electrons.
Define ion. Electrically charged atom whose charge results from an atom losing or gaining an electron.
Define covalent bonds The bond formed by the sharing of a pair of electrons by two atoms.
Define physical property Any property used to characterize matter and energy and their interactions.
Define chemical property A property or characteristic of a substance that is observed during a reaction in which the chemical composition or identity of the substance is changed
Where are the electrons located? Within the atomic cloud. Outside the nucleus.
Where are the neutrons located? Within the nucleus of the atom
Where are the protons located? Within the nucleus of the atom.
Define electrons. A particle within the atomic cloud with a negative electric charge.
Define neutron A particle within the nucleus of an atom with no charge.
Define proton A particle within the nucleus of an atom with a positive electric charge.
Explain the difference between a compound and mixture. A compound is a group of atoms from more than one type of element chemically combined, while a mixture is composed of two or more substances NOT chemically combined.
Explain how to find the number of electrons using the periodic table. Number of electrons = Number of protons = Atomic number
Explain how to find the number of protons using the periodic table. The number of protons are found by looking at the atomic number.
Explain how to find the number of neutrons using the periodic table. The number of neutrons are figured by subtraction the atomic number from the atomic mass.
Define solution A mixture which is evenly mixed throughout.
What is another word for solution Homeogeneous mixture.
Define mixture Composed of two or more substances that are not chemically combined and they retain their original properties.
How can a mixture be separated. By physical means
Define compound Atoms of more than one type of element that chemically bonded together.
How can a compound be separated? Compounds cannot be separated by physical means and different properties then their original components do.
Explain how you would know if a substance is a plasma? A substance related with extreme heat, takes the shape of the area. Molecules bounce extremely fast past each other.
Explain how you would know if a substance is a solid. A substance that has a fixed size and shape. The molecules are tight together and allows only for them to only vibrate against each other and not change positions.
Explain how you would know if a substance is a gas. A substance that takes the size and shape of the container. Molecules move fast and bounce off of each other.
Explain how you would know if a substance is a liquid? An amount that takes the shape of the container and is fluid at room temperature. Molecules move fast and bounce off of each other and change positions.
The basic unit of matter Atom
Particles without electric charge in the atom's nucleus. Neutrons
The density of a substance is what kind of property. Physical
Anything that has mass and takes up space Matter
Particle located in an atom's nucleus. Protons and Neutrons
H2O is a compound formed by sharing --- electrons
How do you know if a substance is an isotope? They have the same atomic number but different mass numbers.
