| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Matter | made of molecules; Latin for “little mass”; anything that has mass and takes up space (surface area and volume) |
| Matter | made of molecules; Latin for “little mass”; anything that has mass and takes up space (surface area and volume) |
| Metalloids | have characteristics of both metals and nonmetals |
| Metals | ductile, malleable, good conductors, lustrous |
| Mixture | substance made of heterogeneous molecules that are not bonded together chemically; mixtures can be homogeneous or heterogeneous |
| Molecule | more than one atom joined together: can be same or different atoms: O3 or H2O |
| Neutron | particles with no charge located in the atomic nucleus |
| Nonmetals | opposite characteristics of metals |
| Nucleus | makes up most of an atom’s mass; location of protons and neutrons |
| Oxidation | occurs when an atom loses an electron |
| Period | a horizontal row on the periodic chart |
| pH | stands for percent Hydrogen. pH is measured by an indicator that changes color depending on whether an acid or base is present. |
| Plasma | form of matter with indefinite shape and volume and electrically charged molecules |
| Products | found to the right of the yield sign – elements and compounds after a chemical change has taken place |
| Protons | positively charged particles located in the atomic nucleus |
| Reactants | found to the left of the yield sign – elements and compounds before a chemical change has taken place |
| Reduction | occurs when an atom gains electrons |
| Solid | form of matter with definite shape and volume |
| Subscript | number placed below and after a chemical symbol; tell the number of atoms of that element that are present |
| Valence electrons | outermost electrons used in bonding |
