Vocabulary For Matter And Elements
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Matter | Anything that takes up space and has mass. |
| Mass | The material that matter is made up of. |
| Space/Volume | How much room/space matter takes up. |
| Density | D= m/v The amount of material/stuff matter takes within a specific space. |
| Atom | Smallest part of an atom. |
| Electron | Particle of an atom with a negative charge, moves around the nucleus and has an attractive force that allows it to bond with other atoms creating everything in the universe. |
| Proton | Partial of an atom with a positive charge located inside the nucleus. |
| Neutron | Particle of an atom with a neutral /no charge located inside the nucleus along with the proton. |
| Periodic Table | Large grid that identifies and classifies all of the elements by there chemical and physical properties. |
| Element | the simplest substances that cannot be broken down /they make up all matter in the universe. |
| Periods / Rows | rows that tell how many energy levels each element has for the electrons to move around. |
| Groups Or Family /Column | Columns that tell how many valence electrons each element has /the number of electrons that can move on its outer shell /energy level. |
| Valence Electrons | The electrons that move on the outer shell /energy level of an atom. |
| Atomic Number | How many protons an element has inside the nucleus /usually is same # of neutrons and electrons. |
| Atomic Mass | The measurement of the mass for an elements atom. |
| Chemical Properties | The ability of substances to combine with one another forming new and different compounds and molecules. |
| Physical Properties | The state of matter and appearance of a substance. |
| Ionic Bond | When elements either lose or gain an electron during bonding. |
| Covalent Bond | When elements share electrons during bonding. |
| Chemical Change / Reaction | Elements bond together through the attractive force of electrons creating some type of reaction and change. |
| Compound / Molecule | Two or more elements combine together in a specific ratio /pattern creating a whole, new substance /compound. |
| Mixture | Two or more substances combine together keeping their original properties, they DO NOT CHANGE into a new substance compound. |
| Noble Gases | All of the elements in Group #18 -they are the most stable elements because they have 8 electrons in their outer shell. |
| Halogens | All of the elements in Group #17 -they are very reactive bonding easily with elements in Group #1 because they have 7 valence electrons and want to be stable. |
| Alkali Gases | All of the elements in Group #1- they are very reactive because they only have one valence electron. |
| Metalloids | Elements between metals and non-metals that can react either way, they have 3-7 valence electrons. |
| Endothermic | Chemical reaction that takes in energy |
| Exothermic | Thing that change out of we have no control |
