Question | Answer |
---|---|
Particles that constitute the fundemental building blocks of matter. | Atoms |
Two or more joined atoms arranged specifically. | Molecule |
The science that seeks to understand the behavior of matter by studying atoms and molecules. | Chemistry |
Have a fixed volume and shape | solid |
A fixed volume that takes the shape of the container | liquid |
Expands to occupy volume, compressable. | Gas |
The kinds or amounts of substances that make up matter. | Composition |
Composed of 1 single type of atom or molecule | Pure Substance |
Substances that cannot be further broken down. | Element |
Substances that are composed of two or more elements. | Compound |
More than 1 atom or molecule type. | Mixture |
Mixtture where the composition varies from region to region. | Heterogeneous Mixture |
Mixture with the same component throughout | Homogeneous |
Alters the state or appearence | Physical Change |
The original sunstance transforms into something else. | Chemical change |
Property of a material that is displayed without changing the composition. | Physical Property |
Property that is displayed only by undergoing a phyical change. | Chemical Property |
How close a series of measurments are to each other. | Precision |
How close to the TRUE value measurments are. | Accuracy |
Has an equal probability of being to high and to low, if enough measurments are taken it will eventually even out. | Random Error |
Will consistently measure to high or to low. | Systematic Error |
How much matter makes up an object. | mass |
A tool used to convert one type of unit to another. | Dimensinal Analysis |
Fractional quantity with the units we are converting from what we are converting to. | Conversion Factor |
A characteristic that is dependent of the amount of the substance | Intensive Property |
Dependant on the amount | Extensive property |
In a chemical reaction, mass is neither created nor destroyed. -Antwoine Lauoisier | Law of Conservation of Mass |
Things will come together in whole number ratios. | Law of Multiple Proportions. |
Negatively charged, low mass particle. | Electron |
The number of protons in an element. | Atomic Number (Z) |
Unique 1 or 2 letter designated for each element. | Chemical Symbol |
Atoms with the same number of protons, but different number of electrons | isotopes |
The sum of the number of protons and neutrons an element has. | Mass number (A) |
Positively charged ion. | Cation |
Negatively Charged ion. | Anion |
When elements are arranged in order of mass, certain sets of properties recur. | Periodic Law |
Found in the lower and middle side of the periodic chart. Good conductors, shiney, ductile, malleable, lose electrons. | Metals |
Found on the upper right portion of the periodic chart. Poor conductors, gain electrons in chemical changes. | Non-metals |
Found between the metals and non-metals on the periodic chart. Semi-conductors. | Metalloids |
Alkali, lose 1 electron | Group 1A |
Alkaline earth metal, lose 2 electrons | Group 2A |
Starts with oxygen, Gain 2 electrons | Group 6A |
Halogens, Gain 1 electron | Group 7A |
Variable, conform with multiple chargs | Transition Metals |
E(fractional % of isotope)(mass of isotope) | Atomic Mass Formula |
Amount of material the contains avagadro's number of particles. | The Mole |
Avagadro's Number | 6.0221 * 10^23 |
