| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Atom | The smallest piece of matter that has the chemical property of that element |
| Half Life | The amount of time it takes half the atoms present to decay. |
| Intensive Property | Size of the sample does not matter. |
| Extensive Property | Size of the sample does matter. |
| Neutron Charge | none |
| Charge= | protons-electrons |
| Protons | + |
| Electrons | _ |
| Isotopes | Atoms of the same element with a different number of nuetrons |
| Father Of the Periodic Table | Demetri Mendeleev |
| Group 1 of Periodic Table is Called? | Akali Metals |
| Group 2 of periodic table is called? | Alkali earth metals |
| Group 3-12 of Periodic Table is called? | Transition Metals |
| Group 17 of Periodic Table is called? | Halogens |
| Group 18 of periodic table is called? | Noble gases |
| Top row of F on the periodic fable is called? | Lanthanides |
| Bottom row of F on the periodic table is called? | Actinides |
| Where are Valence Electrons | Outermost shell |
| Ionization energy | The energy needed to remove the outermost electron |
| Anions | Negatively charged, gain electrons |
| Cations | Positively charged lose electrons |
| Radioactive Atom | The nucleus of the atom spontaneously breaks down. |
| Alpha Particle | Slow moving, 2 protons 2 neutrons |
| Beta Particle | Faster, looks like an electron |
| Gamma | Fastest, energy |
| Beta Decay | Neutron breaks down to become a proton and an electron, rapidly moving electron as product, the beta particle. |
| Fission | when a heavy nucleus breaks into two smaller ones |
| Fusion | when two smaller nuclei bind into one larger one |
| What is the definition of chain reaction? | When neutrons continue to hit other unstable nuclei they continue to break apart. |
| Draw Back of Fission | Chemical waste |
| Draw back of fusion | lack of effciency |
| what is the equation Einstien used related to energy and mass | E=mc² |
| Definition of nuclear binding energy | the energy that is released when two nuclei join or break apart |
| definition of decay series | steps for radioactive element to become stable |
| compounds and elements are also known as? | pure substances |
| a homogenous mixture is also know as? | a solution |
| What are the 3 states of matter | solid, liquid, gas |
| define compound | two or more elements bonded together |
| define mixture | separate stuff together but not bonded |
| What are the two types of separation? | Physical and chemical |
| how do you find volume? | Length x Width x Height=volume |
| define dependent variable | what is being measured |
| define independent variable | what is being changed |
| how should a hypothesis be written | If then because statement |
| what is the control variable | its the variable that is always kept the same |
| What are the common steps of the scientific method | hypothesis, question, conclusion, experiment |
| In oxidation numbers -1 and -2 are electrons gained or lost? | gained |
| in oxidation numbers +1 and +2 are electrons lost or gained | lost |
| Define daughter nucleus | what is left after decay |
| what number allows us to know what element we are dealing with? | atomic number |
| what is the equation to find atomic number | M-N=AN |
| What is the equation for atomic mass | P+N=M |
| what is the equation to find charge | E-P=charge |
| What are the trends of atomic radius on the p. table | Going up atoms get smaller, going down atoms get larger because you add shells |
| what are the trends of ionization on the p. table | going down atoms larger atoms are easier to remove, going down across atoms are harder to remove |
| what numbers do you need to know to balance nuclear equations? | atomic and mass numbers |
| what are the six phase changes? | Freezing, melting, condensation, boiling, sublimation, deposistion |
| What causes the plateaus on the heating curve | phases changes because energy is moving the atoms instead of heating them. |
| why is science loopy and not linear | because there is no set order of steps. |
| define nuclear decay | lose an alpha or beta particle to form a more stable atom |
| Where does energy in a nuclear reaction come from | binding energy |
| How many significant figures does 6.2 have | 2 |
| How many significant figures does 5.00 have | 1 |
| how many sig figs does 4.36789 | 6 |
