Question | Answer |
---|---|
What is a physical change? | A change that changes the form or physical state (Ex. Ice melting to water or shattering glass). |
What is a chemical change? | A change that produces a new product (Ex. Rusting metal or bread molding). |
What is a QUALITATIVE physical property? | Something that describes appearance/quality. Doesn't use numbers. |
What is a QUANTITATIVE physical property? | A characteristic that can be measured. Uses numbers. |
What is a chemical property? | Something that describes what is happening during a chemical change. |
2 solutions were mixed into a beaker. The new liquid started to bubble and gas was produced. Is this a chemical or physical change and what properties can you use to explain why? | This is a chemical change because gas was produced and this is a chemical property. |
Some droplets of febreeze were sprayed onto a desk only for it to evaporate just a few seconds later. Is this a chemical or physical change and what properties can you use to explain why? | This is a physical change because no new product was formed and the droplets of febreeze only changed physical state. The febreeze started as a liquid and then became a gas and this is a qualitative physical property (state of matter). |
What are the 8 QUALITATIVE physical properties? | - States of matter (solid, liquid, gas...) - Colour - Odour (smell) - Clarity (opaque, translucent, transparent) - Luster (shiny or dull) - Texture (rough or smooth) - Malleability - Ductility |
What are the 6 QUANTITATIVE physical properties? | - Hardness (Diamond is hardest natural mineral) - Viscosity (Honey is thicker than water) - Solubility - Conductivity (How easily electricity can flow through) - Melting / boiling point - Density (D=m/V) |
What are the 5 chemical properties? | - Light or heat produced - Gas is produced (You will see bubbling) - Colour change - A precipitate is formed (tiny solid particles dont let you see through like Cclloids) - Irreversible (cant undo a reaction) |
What is Matter? | Any substance with mass that takes up space |
What is a Mixture? | When 2 or more different types of particles come together in no specific order/amount (2g salt + 2g water and 19g salt + 8g water are both still salt water) |
What is a Pure Substance? | When 1 type of particle is made in a specific order/amount (CO2 is not the same as C2O4) |

What is a heterogenous mixture? | Where nothing in the mixture dissolves in each other |
What is a homogeneous (solution) mixture? | Where one part of the mixture dissolves into the other and they become 1. This makes all solutions transparent. |
What is a colloid? How could you tell by looking at it? | A heterogeneous mixture where the particles are too tiny to be seen but don't dissolve in the solvent. Because of this they are often Opaque |
What is a suspension? How could you tell by looking at it? | A heterogenous mixture where the particles can be seen but don't dissolve in the solvent, This makes these visibly separate from the liquid it floats in. |
What is an ordinary mechanical mixture? | A heterogeneous mixture where particles are mixed but do not dissolve in each other whatsoever. |
What kind of mixture is milk? Why? | A colloid. It's opaque which is a sign because the tiny solids in the milk are preventing light from going through it. |
What kind of mixture is a Bowl of fruits? | Ordinary mechanical mixture |

Ionic compounds are formed from what 2 kind of ions? | Cation and anion. |
What is a cation? | An ion that has lost (wants to give away) electrons and so has a positive charge. |
What is an anion? | An ion that has gained (wants to take) electrons and so has a negative charge. |

What are the properties of an Alkali metal? | - All have 1 valence electron - Shiny and very reactive - Forms compounds that dissolve quickly in water |
What are the properties of an Alkaline metal? | - All have 2 valence electrons - Shiny - A little less reactive than Alkalis. - Forms compounds that dont dissolve in water |
What are the properties of a Halogen gas? | - Very reactive - Very poisonous |
Does Ar have an ion. If it does, what is it's charge? | No because Ar is a noble gas (group 8 with full valance electron). It does not need any to lose or gain any electrons so it remains equal |
What are the properties of a Noble gas? | - Doesn't react - All have full valence electron |
How do we name Ionic Compounds that dont use a transition metal? | - Name the cation - Name the anion then change ending to "-ide" |
How do we name Ionic Compounds that use a transition metal with many charges? | - Name the cation - Name the charge to be used in Roman Numerals - Name the anion then change ending to "-ide" |

"hepta" is what number? | 7 |
"nona" is what number? | 9 |
How do we name PN2? | Phosphorous dinitride |
How do you reduce Mn2Cl4 and C2O6? | - Mn2Cl4 is ionic because the first name is a metal. This means it can reduce to Mc1Cl2 which is MnCL4 - C2O6 is a molecular compounds because the name starts with a non-metal? Never reduce for molecular compounds. Keep it as C2O6. |
What is the oxidation number/charge of an oxygen ion? | 2- |
What are the 3 subatomic particles? | Proton, neutron and electron. |
What are the charges of a Proton, neutron and electron in that order? | Positive, neutral and negative. |
How many shells does Li+ have? | Normal Li has 2 shells because it is on period 2. However, because it loses it's one valence electron to have a full shell, the old one disappears and it's next inner shell becomes the valence shell. |
What is a polyatomic ion? | Molecules with a charge. Can be used to replace a normal cation or anion in an ionic compound. |
Do metals form cations or anions? | Cations. |
Do non-metals form cations or anions? | Anions. |
What is a molecular compound | A compound formed by atoms sharing electrons to fill their valence shell. This bond between atoms is a "covalent bond" |
What is an ionic compound? | Cations want to give electrons and Anions want to take them. Ionic compounds are formed between a cation that transfers it's electron permanently to an anion that needs it. This bond between the ions is an "ionic bond". |
What is stronger? Ionic or covalent bonds? | Ionic bonds are stronger. Thus ionic bonds are harder to break and need more heat to melt vs covalent bonds |
