old 2.1 Matter, Energy
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Matter | • anything that takes up space and has mass • composed of atoms |
| Law of Conservation of Matter | Matter may change from one form to another, but the same number of atoms exist before and after the change During a chemical reaction, matter cannot be created or destroyed. |
| Energy | The capacity to do work: - to cause change - to cause heat flow - to rearrange a collection of matter |
| Law of Conservation of Energy | Energy can change from one form to another, but the total amount of energy never changes |
| Atoms | the building blocks of elements and compounds |
| What are atoms made up of? | protons, neutrons, and electrons |
| What are the charges of subatomic particles? | Proton: positive charge + Electron: negative charge - Neutron: no charge |
| What is the structure of an atom? | Nucleus is in the center of an atom. Electron Cloud surrounds the nucleus. |
| What is a Nucleus made up of? | protons and neutrons |
| What is the Electron Cloud? | It contains electrons in energy levels When an outer energy level is full, the atom is stable. |
| Compound | substance formed from two or more elements chemically combined |
| How do compounds form? | Atoms form chemical bonds (compounds) by sharing, losing, or gaining electrons. |
| Ionic Bond | Formed when electrons are gained and lost. Electrons are transferred from one atom to another Example: NaCl (Salt) Sodium Chloride |
| Ion | Positively and negatively charged atoms |
| Covalent Bond | Formed when atoms share electrons. Examples: CO2 (carbon dioxide) and C6H12O6 (glucose) |
| Chemical Formula | Represents the number and type of atoms in a compound. Examples: NaCl - sodium chloride (salt) one Sodium atom and one Chlorine atom C6H12O6 - glucose has 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms, and 6 oxygen atoms |
| What is a Structural Formula? | A chemical formula that shows how the atoms in a compound are bonded to one another. |
| What is an Element? | An Element is a substance made of ONLY ONE type of atom Ex: Oxygen (O), Nitrogen (N), Hydrogen *H) |
