Matter

College Chemistry week 1

QuestionAnswer
Organic Study of structure, properties, and reactions of compounds containing carbon
Inorganic Study of structure, properties, and reactions of all other compounds, often associated with metals
Physical The principles of physics involved in chemical reactions, includes computational and theoretical chemistry
Analytical Study of the separation, identification, and quantification of chemicals, often involves instrumentation
Biochemistry The study of chemicals in living organisms
What is matter? anything that takes up space and can be weighed
Solid Matter Atoms/molecules vibrate but do not move past one another, which results in solids having a fixed volume and shape
Crystalline solid Atoms or molecules are in repeating patterns
Amorphous Solid Atoms or molecules do not have any recognizable repeating pattern
Liquid Matter atoms or molecules pack about as closely as they do in solid matter, but they are free to move relative to each other.
Gaseous Matter atoms or molecules have a lot of space between them These qualities make gases compressible
solid to liquid melting (fusion)
liquid to solid freezing
solid to gas sublimation
gas to solid Deposition
liquid to gas Boiling (Vaporization)
gas to liquid Condensation
Which best describes a molecule in a solid? No translational molecular movement in space but they vibrate in place, large amounts of molecular interactions
diatomic elements Hydrogen, H2; Oxygen, O2; Fluorine, F2; Bromine, Br2; Iodine, I2; Nitrogen, N2; and Chlorine, Cl2 (HOFBrINCl)
Physical Changes Composition is unchanged, and the change can be undone using physical means
Chemical Changes atoms rearrange to make new molecules
physical property property that a substance displays without changing its composition Odor, taste, color, appearance, melting point, boiling point, and density
chemical property property that a substance displays only by changing its composition via a chemical change (or chemical reaction) Chemical properties include corrosiveness, acidity, and toxicity
intensive property a characteristic of a substance that does not change based on the amount of the substance present
extensive property a physical characteristic of a substance that depends on the amount of matter present

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.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
