| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Elements | are pure substances that cannot be changed into simpler substances;composed of on type of atom |
| Compounds | are pure substances that are composed of two or more types of elements;can only be changed into simpler substances called elements by chemical changes |
| Mixtures | are composed of different substances that are mixed together;can be separated easily into their component substances |
| Luster | having a shiny surface or reflecting light brightly |
| Conductors | heat and electricity move through them easily |
| Malleable | ability to be hammered into different shapes |
| Ductile | ability to be drawn into a wire |
| High Density | heavy for their size |
| Dull | not shiny |
| Nonconductors | heat and electricity do not move through them easily |
| Brittle | break or shatter easily |
| Families/groups | are columns of elements on the peroidic table that have many similar properties;usually numbered 1-18 |
| Metals | a major classification of elements generally located on the left side of the peroidic table |
| Nonmetals | a major classification of elements generally located on the right side of the peroidic table |
| Chemical Symbols | show atoms of the elements composing a substances |
| Chemical Formulas | are constructed from the symbols of the elements composing the substances |
| Acids | can be indentified by their sour taste |
| Bases | can be indentified by their bitter taste |
| pH | is a measure of the concentration of solutions of acids and bases and is measured on the scale of 1-14; a basic solution has a pH greater than 7 and a acidic solution has a pH less than 7 |
| Indicators | are substances that can be used to determine whether a solution is an acid or a base |
| Litmus Paper | Blue litmus paprer turns red in an acid and stays blue in a base. Red litmus paper turns blue in a base and stays red in a acid; both red and blue litmus paper turn purple in a solution that is neutral |
| pH paper | can turn a series of colors in a solution of pH;the color of the paper is compared to the chart of the vial to determine the pH |
| Phenolphthalein | turns magneta in a strong base and stays clear in acid |
| Chemical Equations | are used to represent chemical reactions that have occured;contained the chemical formulas for the substances that mixed and the new substances that are formed |
| Reactants | the substances that are mixed in a chemical reaction are clled the reactants and appear on the left side of the arrow in a chemical equation |
| Products | the new substances that are formed in a chemical reaction are called the products and appear on the right side of the arrow ina chemical equation |
| Law of Conservation of Matter | is based on countless experiments in which the mass of the reactants has been found to equal the mass of the products |
| Balanced Chemical Equation | has the same number of each kind of atom on both sides of the arrow |
| Physical Properties | can be observed and measured without changing the kind of matter being studied |
| Chemical Properties | are not usually visable |
| Melting Point | is the temperature at which a solid can change to a liquid |
| Boiling Point | i sthe temperature at which a liquid can change to a gas |
| Density | is the measure of the relative "heaviness" of objects with a constant volume; is the mass of a given volume of a substances |
| Color | of a given substances is distinctive and can be used to help idntify a substance |
| Chemical Reactivity | is the tendency of a substances to undergo a chemical reaction usually with other spefic substances |
| Physical Changes | do not change the compositon of a substance only the physical properties |
| Chemical Change | a substnces changes from one state of matter to another |
| Sumblimation | a substance change directly from soild to a gas |
| Deposition | a substance changes directly from gas to a solid |
| Color Change | a substance changes color chemically |
| Temperature Change | a substance changes tempature after being mixed with other substances chemically |
| Precipitate Formation | two or more liquids are mixed and a solid forms chemicallyex:lemon juice and milk |
| Gas formation | a substances are mixed or heated and a gas is given off chemically |
