Question | Answer |
---|---|
What is an acid? | Tastes sour, reacts with metals and carbonates, turns blue litmus paper red, <7 on pH scale |
What is a base? | Tastes bitter, feels slippery, turns red litmus paper blue, >7 on pH scale |
What is a Hydrogen ion (H+)? | An atom of hydrogen that has lost its electron. |
What is a Hydroxide iron (OH-)? | A negatively charged ion.....Gained an electron |
Element: | Simplest pure substance. Can't be broken into other substances |
Matter: | Anything that has mass and volume |
What is all matter composed of? | 1 element or a combination of 2 or more elements |
Compound | Substance made of 2 or more elements chemically combined |
Mixture | 2 or more elements in the same place, but NOT chemically combined |
Democritus | Named the atom |
Thompson | Came up with the plum pudding model |
Rutherford | Disproved plum pudding model |
Bohr | Closest theory to modern atom model |
Protons | positively charged particles, located in the nucleus |
Neutrons | no electric charge, located in the nucleus |
Electrons | negatively charged particles, located in the electron cloud |
Solid | Definite volume and shape, particles close together |
Liquid | Definite volume, particles vibrate |
Gas | No definite volume or shape, particles move past each other easily |
Density | Mass/Volume |
Melting | Solid-Liquid |
Freezing | Liquid-Solid |
Condensation | Gas-Liquid |
Evaporation | Liquid-Gas |
Sublimation | Solid-Gas |
Synthesis | A+B yields AB |
Decomposition | AB yields A+B |
Single Replacement | AB+C yields AC+B |
Double Replacement | AB+CD yields AC+BD |
Homogeneous Solution | Particles hard to tell apart |
Heterogeneous Solution | Particles easy to tell apart |
Atom: | Smallest particle of an element |
Nucleus: | Center of atom, where the mass is, protons and neutrons |
Energy Level | A region around the nucleus in which electrons of the same energy are likely to be found |
Atomic # | order of periodic table, amount of protons |
Atomic Mass | # of protons + # of neutrons |
Valence Electrons | electrons in the outermost energy level |
Ion | atom/group of atoms that has an electric charge |
Ionic Bond | attraction between 2 oppositely charged ions....they form as a result of the attraction between positive and negative ions...lots of energy is needed to break the bond |
Chemical Formula | Combo of symbols that shows the ratio of elements in a compound |
Covalent Bond | 2 atoms share electrons |
Polar Bond | Covalent bond in which electrons are shared unequally |
Nonpolar Bond | Covalent bond in which electrons are shared equally |
Conservation of Mass | In a chemical reaction, the total mass of the reactants must equal the total mass of the products |
