Unit One- Introduction to Chemistry
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| matter | anything that takes up space and has mass |
| chemistry | the study of the structure, properties, and composition of substances, and the changes that substances undergo. |
| physical property | a quality of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing the substance's chemical composition |
| mixture | a physical blend of two or more substances that are not chemically combined. |
| element | a substance that cannot be changed into simpler substances under normal laboratory conditions |
| compound | a substance that can be separated into simpler substances (elements or other compounds) only by chemical reaction. |
| chemical property | the ability of a substance to undergo chemical reactions and to form new substances |
| energy | the capacity for doing work; it exists in several forms, including chemical, nuclear, eletrical, radiant, mechanical and thermal energies. |
| What are the steps of the scientific method? | Observation -> Hypothesis -> Experiments -> theory |
| What is the difference between homogenous and heterogeneous? | A heterogeneou mixture is not a uniform composition, but a homogeneous mixture is uniform/the same |
| What are the 5 probable sings of a chemical change? | 1.color 2.bubbling(making gas) 3. the making/breaking down of a solid 4.temperature 5.oder |
| Describe elements' atoms | they are the same |
| Describe compounds' atoms | different atoms |
| Describe mixtures' atoms | different atoms that are not chemically combined |
| What is the relative volocity of a liquid? | The molecules are farther apart and move faster then the molecules of a solid |
| What is the relative volocity of a gas? | The molecules are futher apart and move even faster that the molecules of a liquid. |
