Basic Chemistry

Week 1 Chem/Physics PPts

QuestionAnswer
Matter is composed of atoms
atoms are composed of electrons, neutrons, protons (and others)
Atoms show the characteristics of Elements
Elements are made up of Atoms
Daltons Laws: True or False All matter is made of tiny, indestructible particles called atoms FALSE- atoms can be broken open or combined (fission or fusion)
Daltons Laws: True or False All atoms of a given element are identical FALSE- isotopes, have a different number of electrons Eg. deterium
Daltons Laws: True or False Atoms of different elements have different properties True
Daltons Laws: True or False Atoms are neither created or destroyed in chemical reactions True They obey the law of conservation of matter
Daltons Laws: True or False Atoms of different elements for compounds in who number ratios True
Fission Neutron induced creates large amounts of energy Atomic Bomb and nuclear
Fusion fusing two together to create new element and tons of energy
Whats in the nucleus of an atom protons and neutrons
the number of electrons equals the number of protons in the nucleus (if not, you have an ion)
Free radicals created in the body when there is no charge on an atom but has an unpaired valence electron. highly unstable. can cause damage to body
Formation of free radicals Normal metabolic processes (metabolism) because of an external source (x-rays, ozone, air pollutants)
Chronic exposure to free radicals Aging of cells (cancer, etc)
Antioxidants protect the body from free radicals, donating an electron and making the free radical stable
Electrons negatively charged, orbit the shell, each element (except for hydrogen) wants to have 8 in its valence shell earth away from nucleus is more unstable/has higher energy
Electrons moving down/up orbitals causes what energy to be used or given off (heat, light)
Element a substance that cannot be broken down/separated into simpler substances
Atomic Number the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom
Atomic Mass the number of particles (protons and neutrons) of an atom Protons+Neutrons
Isotope An element having a different number of neutrons
Mass is Matter
Atomic Weight average of all isotopes of an element and most common naturally occurring form
1 mole of atoms = grams of atoms
1 amu = 6.02x10^23 Moles
a mole of an element/atom = its atomic weight/mass in grams
Matter has... mass and takes up space
3 phases of existence of molecules solid, liquid, gas
True/False Mass is a given quantity of matter in an object TRUE
True/False Mass and Weight are the same FALSE mass=will NEVER change (3 particles on earth is 3 particle on the moon) weight= will change (3 particles on earth weighs less than 3 particle on the moon, due to gravitational pull of earth)
Gravitational Pull (explain its effect on weight) the force acting on a things MATTER farther away = less pull = less weight (force) to hold it "down"
What happens when matter changes states (solid, liquid, gas) Energy is absorbed or released
Latent Heat the amount of heat given or absorbed when a substance changes physical states
Latent Heat of Vaporization the amount of energy a given substance absorbs to overcome the attractive forces between molecules
Brownian Motion the random motion of particles suspended in a fluid (either liquid or gas) b/c of their collision with other atoms/molecules in the gas/liquid
3 ways molecules move vibration, unidirectional (translational), rotational
the change in the composition of matter is called a chemical change
Chemical Change = atoms/molecules of 2 or more substances rearrange to form 2 or more new substances having different properties
RedOx Rxt making water from H2 and 02
Hydrogen during RedOx oxidized, loses and electron
Oxygen during RedOx reduced, gain of an electron
Volume the measure of the amount of space enclosed by a surface the space occupied by a given number of particles measured inside an enclosure
Molecule 2 or more atoms chemically joined together
Compound a molecule (2 or more atoms) that has at least 2 different elements
Molecule examples O2, H2, H2O
Compound examples H2O, C2H5OH
Molecule is a compound compound is a molecule with two DIFFERENT elements
Intermolecular forces forces between molecules
intramolecular forces forces within a molecule
types of intramolecular forces forms BONDS covalent bonding ionic bonding
types of intermolecular forces hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole, London dispersion
dipole-dipole intermolecular attraction forces
Saturated molecules single covalent bonds between carbon (no double bonds)
un-saturated carbon chains containing double bonds (molecules are bent)
Molecular Weight the total of all atomic weights of the elements combined
Gram molecular weight (GMW) the molecular weight expressed in grams AKA a Mole
GMW = 1 mole
1 mole= 6.02x10^23 molecules at STP
One GMV (or mole) of a gas takes up _______ space Occupies 22.4L at STP
STP 0 degrees C or 273K 1 atmosphere
a GMW of solid or gas = _______ molecules and takes up ______ space 1 mole (6.02x10^23 molecules) 22.4L
Avagadro's Law equal volumes of gas under the same conditions (eg STP) will contain the same number of molecules
The volume of a gas at STP is proportional to ______ the number of molecules
Equal volumes of gas under STP equals ________ the same number of molecules
Density the MASS of a substance per unit of volume weight/volume
Weight/volume = density
Units of density (weight/volume) GW/GMW gram/cm3 cm3=mL grams/liter
1L = _____ Moles 1/22.4mol O2
Specific Gravity the weight of a unit of volume of liquid or gas compared to a unit of volume of water or dry air the ratio between two densities (density is weight/volume)
Baricity is the density relative to CSF how a drug would spread in the intrathecal space
Gravity the force that attracts objects together along the line of center between the two objects
Force of gravity varies inversely with the square of the distance between the centers 1/d^2 (farther away = less attraction)
Cohesion (two things that work together) the interaction between LIKE molecules have mutual attraction closer together= more attraction
Adhesion interaction between UNLIKE molecules
Cohesive Forces the intermolecular forces between like molecules liquids don't like to separate
Cohesion vs Adhesion competition
Adhesion and Cohesion are inter or intra molecular forces intermolecular forces
Water bond angle/dipole electrons spend more time closer to O than H2, causes a dipole on oxygen bond angle is bent
Water molecule properties in ice Less dense (density is weight/volume), expands to length of hydrogen bonds, causes ice to float
Key Properties of Water dipolar nature makes it universal solvent has high latent heat (stores more, releases slowly) high heat of vaporization (large amount of heat required to break h bonds, heat is carried off as water vapor) dissociates into H and OH (acid/base)
London Dispersion/Van der waals the weak, short range ELECTROSTATIC attractive forces between uncharged molecules result from permanent or transient dipole moments
Dipole moment (electric) the measure of the separation of electrostatic charges (+ vs -) within a system (molecule, compound) and shows its overall polarity
