Chem. Study Guide

Chem. Study Guide from notes

TermDefinition
Matter ANYTHING that has mass and volume
Democritus FIRST to claim that ATOMS EXIST
John Dalton created the ATOMIC THEORY
J.J. Thomson PLUM PUDDING model of an atom, discovered electrons ( cathode ray tube),
Electrons NEGATIVE particles outside the atom in orbitals
Protons POSITIVE particles in the nucleus
Neutrons NEUTRAL particles in the nucleus
Robert Millikan OIL DROP experiment (electron =-1)
Ernest Rutherford GOLD FOIL experiment (atom= mostly empty space)
Atomic Number Number of PROTONS
Mass Number Atomic Mass ROUNDED (protons+neutrons)
Isotopes SAME number of protons, but DIFFERENT numbers of neutrons
Atomic Mass WEIGHTED AVERAGE MASS of stable isotopes
Niels Bohr proposed that electrons are found in ORBITALS
Orbitals different energy levels
Schrodinger CLOUD MODEL
s- sublevel 1 spherical, lowest(n=1), max of 2 electrons orbitals
p-sublevel 3 dumbbell, (n=2), max of 6 electrons orbitals
d-sublevel 5 double dumbbell, (n=3), max of 10 electrons orbitals
f-sublevel 7, max of 14 orbitals
Aufbau Principle each electron is put in the LOWEST available energy sublevel
Pauli Exclusion Principle PAIRED electrons with OPPOSITE spins in any orbital (up-down)
Dot structure outermost VALENCE electrons available (up-down in dots)
Dimitri Mendeleev FIRST person to make the PERIODIC TABLE
Henry Moselsy IDENTIFIED the atomic number using X-rays
Periodic Law propertied of the elements are PERIODIC FUNCTIONS of their ATOMIC NUMBERS
Periods number of VALENCE electron increase in rows
Groups elements with SIMILAR properties in column
Metal DENSE SOLIDS that are MALLEABLE, DUCTILE, GOOD CONDUCTORS of heat and electricity, have LUSTER, and LOSE electrons (CATION)
Transition Metals HARD SOLIDS with HIGH melting points, MULTIPLE oxidation levels.. form IONS WITH VISIBLE COLOR (d-subshell)
Metalloids characteristics of BOTH metal and nonmetals
Nonmetals GASES that are NOT malleable or ductile, LACK luster, and are POOR conductors of heat and electricity.. form NEGATIVE ions (ANIONS)
Atomic raduis DECREASES across periods, INCREASES down groups ( more protons=smaller radius)
Electronegativity measures an atom's attraction for electrons WHEN BONDED to another atom( difference indicates IONIC OR COVALENT
Ionization Energy The energy needed to REMOVE the most loosely bound VALENCE electrons
Groups 1,2, 17 DO NOT naturally occur alone
Ionic Bonding TRANSFER of electrons between atoms (strongest)
Covalent Bonding SHARE of electrons between atoms (strong), polar &non-polar
Group 18 Noble Gases
Intermolecular Bonding Forms between MOLECULES (weak)
Cation LOSES electrons (cat on a fence), Metals
Anions GAINS electrons, Non-metals
Chemical bonds Form between ELEMENTS (stable), loses energy
Non-Polar covalent bonds 0-0.4 electronegativity difference
Polar covalent bonds 0.5-1.6 electronegativity difference
sea of electrons explains metallic properties
Asymmetrical molecules polar covalent bonds, but a polar molecule
Symmetrical molecules polar covalent bonds, but non-polar molecule
Polyatomic Ions more than 1 atom, contain both ionic and covalent bonds (TABLE E)
Intermolecular Forces determines if a compound is solid, liquid, or gas: forms between NEIGHBORING molecules
Dipole Interactions occur between POLAR molecules (weakest)
Hydrogen bonds occur between a hydrogen atom and NITROGEN, OXYGEN, or FLUORINE atom
London Dispersion Forces Substances that lack polarity; no attraction between molecules (weak)
Graphite Network solid of carbon sheets; Vander Waals forces hold carbon sheets together
Diamond ball-and-stick format (Stigma-bonds);
Buckminster Fullerence CO60 molecule; hollow sphere; similar to soccer ball; (Bucky balls)
Transmutation when the atomic nucleus of one element is charged into the nucleus of a different element
Nuclear Reaction a change that occurs within or among atomic nuclei and is represented by a nuclear equation
Unstable Elements all atomic numbers greater than 83 (Radioactive)
Nuclear Force The positively charged protons repel each other,( nucleus is held together by strong nuclear force)
Radioactive Decay emits alpha particles, beta particles, positrons, and gamma rays
Natural Transmutations emit particles as a result of unstable neutrons to proton ratios (not 1:1)
Artificial Transmutation are created in labs
Fission splitting heavy nucleus to produce lighter nuclei and energy (1>2)
Fusion Combining light nuclei to produce a heavier nucleus and energy (2>1)
Einstein's equation (E=mc^2) E= energy, m= mass, c= speed of life
half-life the time it takes for half the number of atoms in an element to decay (T)
Fraction remaining (1/2)^n=(1/2)^(t/T)
number of half- lives n=(t/T)=time of decay/ half-life
Positive uses for radioisotopes Radioactive dating, chemical tracers, Industrial Applications, Medical Applications
Radiation risks mutations, illness, death
Physical Change physical appearances changes (freeze, melt, boil, condense)
Chemical Change material changes completely (burn, color, bubles)
Exothermic loses heat energy, raises the surrounding temperature
Endothermic gains heat energy, lowers the surrounding temperature
Law of Conservation matter can neither be created nor destroyed
Diatomic elements Br, I, N, Cl, H, O, F
Qualitative tells which elements are in the compound (symbols)
Quantitative Tells the number of atoms of each element in a compound (subscripts)
Molecular Formulas represent the ACTUAL RATIO of atoms in a single covalently bound molecule
Empirical Formulas represent the SIMPLEST INTEGER RATIO of atoms in a compound
Hydrates ionic compounds that trap water in a crystal lattice structure
Naming Ionic Compounds metal + non-metal, polyatomic ions, balancing charges (-ide)
Naming Covalent Compounds non-metal +non-metal, (prefixes) (-ide)
prefix for 1 mono-
Prefix for 2 di-
Prefix for 3 tri-
Prefix for 4 tetra-
Prefix for 5 penta-
Prefix for 6 hexa-
Prefix for 7 hepta-
Prefix for 8 octa-
The Stock System (Roman numerals), metals
Synthesis Reactions two or more reactants combine to form a single product
Decomposition Reactions A single compound is broken down into two or more simpler substances
Single Replacement Reactions (Table J) a single element replaces another element that is part of a compound (an element and a compound)
Double Replacement Reactions Ionic compounds that reacts in solution to produce a solid precipitate, a gas, or a molecular compound
Aqueous a substance dissolved in water

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
