| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| density | how heavy something is relative to it's size |
| density calc | density equals mass over volume |
| volume | the amount of space an object occupies. liquid is measure in liters, mass in cubic centimeters |
| volume calc | volume equals length times width times height, volume equals mass over density |
| mass calc | mass equals density over volume |
| accuracy | agreement of a measurement with a known or accepted value- correctness |
| precision | agreement of a measurement with other similar measurements- repeatability |
| sigfig rule 0 | all nonzero digits are significant |
| sigfig rule 1 | any zero between sigfigs is significant |
| sigfig rule 2 | any zero at the beginning of a number is NOT significant |
| sigfig rule 3 | any zero at the end of the number and to the right of a decimal is significant |
| sigfig rule 4 | any zero to the end of a number to the left of a decimal is NOT significant unless specified |
| sigfig rule 5 | when adding/subtracting sigfigs, answer will have the same # of decimal places as the number with the fewest sigfigs |
| sigfig rule 6 | when multiplying/dividing sigfigs, answer will have the same # of sigfigs as the number with the fewest sigfigs |
| vertical column | group |
| horizontal row | period |
| group 1 | alkali metals |
| group 2 | alkaline earth metals |
| group 3-12 | transition metals |
| group 16 | chalcogens- ore-forming |
| group 17 | halogens- salt-forming |
