INORGANIC CHEMISTRY

TermDefinition
have fixed compositions and distinct properties. Pure substance/substance
deals with Matter its composition, properties and its reactions Inorganic Chemistry
anything that occupies space and has mass Matter
quantity of matter that it contains. mass
are substances that cannot be decomposed into simpler substances by chemical means. They are the basic substances out of which all matter is composed Elements
are the substances composed of two or more elements united chemically in definite proportions by mass. They can be decomposed by chemical means into simpler elements. Compounds
composed of two or more kinds of matter where each substance retains its own identity and properties thus it can be separated by physical means Mixtures
have uniform composition throughout Homogeneous mixtures
Compositions of mixtures can vary continuously. Mixtures
are substances whose composition, properties and appearance differ throughout. Heterogeneous mixtures

also known as suspension (particularly when they are in liquid form) Heterogenous mixture

Elements categorized according to three's Triads
Very first attempt of periodic table Triads
color, odor, taste, hardness, physical state, melting point, boiling point, electrical conductivity, malleability, density, solubility, specific gravity. Physical properties:
refer to the characteristics that enable one to distinguish one substance from another. Properties of Matter
rusting metal, burning fuel, milk turning sour Chemical properties:
does not involve a change of one kind of matter into another; no change in the fixed composition of the substance Physical change
involves the transformation or change of one kind of matter into another; it results in the formation of a new substance with different properties Chemical change
) is organized so scientists can quickly discern the properties of individual elements such as their mass, electron number, electron configuration and their unique chemical properties The periodic table
left side of the table metals
reside on the right side of the table non-metals
How many vertical rows in the periodic table? 8 vertical rows IA to VIIIA
How many families in each group? 2 A and B
How many horizontal rows? 7 (7th row is incomplete)
The 6 periods end with??? Inert gases
are found among the representative elements in the upper right hand region of the periodic table; halogen family, oxygen family, nitrogen family, etc. . Non-metal
occupy a narrow band between the metal and non-metals like silicon and germanium. Metalloids
group's of 8's (not successful because there were positions in the periodic table wherein 2 elements shared in one position) Octaves
Used the concept of the triads and octaves and devised a way to categorize elements Modern Periodic Table (Dmitri Mendeleev)
Involves transfer of electrons (force of attraction) Ionic Compound

Involves sharing of electrons Covalent compound
Atoms can gain a full valence shell (electron) by either sharing electron (covalent bonding) or by transferring electron (ionic bonding) Octet rule
are substances which are made of more than one atom or element are substances which are made of more than one atom or element
What holds these atoms together are strong forces of attraction chemical bonds
Electrons involved in bonding are the outermost electrons in an atom and are called as valence electrons
American chemist who pioneered the relationship between electronic structure and chemical bonds. G.N. Lewis
are often used to represent the valence electrons in atoms and molecules. Dots
consists of the symbol for the element and a dot(s) to represent the outermost electron(s) in the atom. Lewis Electron-dot Structure
the completion of the maximum 8 number of electrons. Octet rule
results from the electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions, the action and the anion Ionic Bond
Atoms that pick up the electrons lost by metals become negative ions or anions. Ionic Bond
arises from the sharing of one or more pairs of electrons between two atoms which have the same tendency to give or pick up electrons Covalent Bond
