everything from Unit 1
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Matter | Has volume and mass |
| Period | side to side in periodic table |
| Group | Up and down in periodic table |
| ion | Can contain one or more atoms. Different number of protons and electrons |
| valence electrons | last ring on the B-R diagrams |
| stable octet | sharing electrons |
| Bohr-Rutherford diagram | shows the amount of rings and electrons of an element |
| Lewis Diagram | shows number of valence electrons around the element symbol |
| atomic mass | average mass |
| mass number | exact mass |
| isotope | same element different mass |
| qualitative analysis | answer the why question/ observe something |
| spectroscopy | study of the interaction between light and matter |
| flame emission spectroscopy | use a flame to determine what colour an element is |
| excited state | if an atom absorbs heat or light it can jump to a different energy level |
| ground state | at its lowest energy level |
| spectroscope | measures the spectrum of light |
| visible spectrum | colours visible to the human eye ROYGBIV |
| continuous spectrum | contains all wavelengths of light in a certain range |
| line spectrum | contains only specific wave lengths of light |
| element/compound | element is one kind of atom where compound is more than one atom |
| ionic compound | contains a metal and nonmetal |
| covalent compound | 2 non-metals (H2O) |
| crystal lattice | 3D arrangement - Crystals |
| molecule | made up of groups of atoms |
| ionic bond | one atom donates electrons to the other |
| covalent bond | 2 atoms share electrons |
| multivalent | more than one charge on an element |
| polyatomic ion | covalently atoms that act like a single ion |
| prefix | name given to the name of a given element |
| chemical reaction | chemicals reacted with each other |
| evidence of chemical change | creates different properties (eg. burning wood, cooking an egg, etc.) |
