Science-10 Chemistry
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Chemistry | The study of matter, its properties and the changes it goes through. |
Matter | Anything that has mass and volume that takes up space is made of matter. |
Mixture | Matter that can be physically separated and that does not have a definite composition |
Pure substance | Matter that has a definite composition. |
Heterogenous mixture | Different components in the mixture are visible and variable. |
Homogenous mixture | Different components in the mixture are not visible and are constant |
Element | Cannot be chemically broken down. |
Compound | Can be chemically broken down |
Leg of definite proportions | Molecules always combine in the same way (every carbon dioxide molecule is 1 carbon and 2 oxygen). |
Dalton model of the atom | -atoms are the smallest particles - al atoms of the same element are identical -atoms of different substances are different |
Thomson model of the molecule | -there are subatomic particles called electrons -um pudding model -cereal!! |
Rutherford model of the atom | -gold foil experiment - planetary model |
Bohr model of the atom | -electron energy models -what we use today |
Atomic number | The number of protons in the nucleus. Identifies the element. (Top left) |
Atomic mass | The number of protons and the number of neutrons. (Top right) |
Isotopes | When the same element has a different amount of neutrons |
Nuclear notation | Tells us information about the nucleus/nucleons |
Periodic table | Organizes about 118 elements based on their characteristics. Made by Dmitri Medeleev |
Metal | -shiny - malleable - strong conductor of electricity and heat -solid(except mercury) -found to the left of the staircase |
Non- metal | -dull - brittle -weak conductor of heat and electricity - solid, liquid, or gas -found to the right of the stair case |
Metalloids | -semiconductors if electricity -lustrous -brittle -found along the stair case |
Energy level rules | Level and #E 1 - 2 2 - 8 3 - 8 4 - 18 5 - 18 |
Valence electron | The electrons in he outermost energy level |
Lewis dot diagram | Includes only the valence electrons Draw dots clockwise |
Period | The horizontal rows- number of the period = number of energy levels |
Chemical reaction | Occur because atoms want to become more stable |
Ion | A charged atom |
Anion | A negatively charged atom |
Cation | A positively charged atom |
Naming metal ions | Add the word ion |
Naming non metal ions | Change the ending to “ide” and add the word ion. |
Chemical bond | A force of attraction between atoms that keeps them together |
Metallic bonds | -found in metals -atoms share electrons in outer shells - this holds metal atoms together very strongly |
Ionic bonds | -between metals and non metals -the transfer of electrons from on atom to another -the (+) and (-) ions attract each other |
Crystal lattice | Pattern that is a result of ionic compounds |
Covalent bonds | -found in non metals - atoms sharing valence electrons |
