QuestionAnswer
matter something that occupies space, substance of which any physical object consists or is composed, anything that takes up space and has mass.
solid mass of matter of which the shape cannont be changed permanently and greatly without fracture, a definite shape, takes shape of container
liquid composed of molecules that move freely among themselves but do not tend to separate like those of gases, not gaseous or solid, any fuild substance that is not a solid or gas
gas a substance possessing perfect molecular ability and the property of indefinite expansion, as opposed to a solid or liquid
chemical change usually irreversible reaction involving rearrangement of atons of one or more substances and a change in tehir chemical properties or composition, resulting information of at least one new substance
energy the ability to cause change, ability to do work
kinetic energy energy which it possesses due to its motion, energy that a body possesses by virtue of being a human, energy that moves, i.e. a moving car
potential energy energy possessed by a body of virtue of its posistion relevent to others, stresses within itself, electric charge, and other factos, aka stored energy
element substance that can't be broken down into simpler chemical substances, substance made of only one kind of atom
atom smallest particle of an element that has the characteristics of that element
proton postively charged particles in an atom
neutron neutral particles in atoms
electron region of space surrounding nucleus contains extremly small, negatively charged particles
atomic number number of protons in nucleus of atom, which determines the chemical properties of an alement and its place in the periodic table
atomic mass average mass of atoms in an element
isotope atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons
compound substance that is composed of atoms of two or more different elements that are chemically combined
molecule a group of atoms held together by covalent bonds
covalent bond when two atoms share electrons, this is the force that holds them together
ion charged particle made of atoms
ionic bond attractive force between two ions of opposite charge, transfer of one or more electrons from one atom to another
read and listen to all instructions and read all labels before beginning the lab, know where and use properly safety equipment during lab, and in the event of an accident, tell the instructor immediately (but calmly) What are the 3 lab safety rules?
92 How many naturally occuring elements are there?
Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Phosphorous, KPotassium, Iodine, Nitrogen, Sulfur, CAlcium, FEiron, MGmagnesium What does C HOPKINS CAFE MG stand for?
Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen what are the four most common elements that make up 96% of our bodies?
nucleus, energy level(s), proton, neutron, electron Parts of an atom?
1st energy level - 2 electrons, 2nd energy level - 8 electrons, 3rd energy level- 8 or 18 electrons What do the 3 energy levels consist of?
Covalent bond share some valence electrons (valence- outermost energy level) ex. water -- freezing point - 0 degrees celsius -- boiling point - 100 degrees celsius
Ionic bond transfer of some valence electrons
Mixture 2 or more substances physically combined, there is no chemical change or bonding of atoms
1. mixture - physical blending, compound - chemical blending, 2. mixture - substances can be physically separated, compunds - substances cannon be physically separated, 3. mixture - don't need to combine any definite proportions Differences between mixtures and compounds: 3 things
3. compounds - must combine difinite proportions of the elements to get chemical bonding, 4. mixture retains the properties of each substance in it, compounds has its own properties, not those of each substance in it, Differences between mixtures and compounds: 1.5 things
5. mixture - no energy involved to form it, compound - some energy involved to form it Difference between mixtures nad compounds: 1 thing
mixture - heterogenous blending, solution - homogenous blending, calloid - blending of substances that are almost homogenous, suspension - particles that are larger than ions or small molecules spread through a solvent Types of mixtures
solute- substance that dissolves ex. salt, solvent - substance in which the solute dissolves ex. water "universal solvent" examples of solution
pH hydrogen potential, scale 0-14, 0 being VERY acidic, 14 being VERY basic, 7 being neutral

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.
