Chemistry Beginner Level

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
Matter   Anything that takes up Space  
🗑
Not Matter   Energy, Sound, Emotions, Light, Radiation, Time.  
🗑
Element   Pure substances made of atoms only that substance.  
🗑
Atom   Smallest particle of an element that still has the properties of the element.  
🗑
Compound   More than one element bond together, always has a definite composition by weight, some evidence of a chemical action is present, original parts lose their identity and can only be separated by chemical means  
🗑
Mixture   Separate substances, parts may be present in any proportion, there is no evidence of any chemical action taking place,they do not lose their identity can be separated by chemical means.  
🗑
Homogenous Mixture   Hard to see or separate parts. Has a variable composition  
🗑
Heterogenous Mixture   Easy to see and easy to separate parts. Has a variable composition.  
🗑
Composition Definite Composition   The action of putting things together. A very specific compound.  
🗑
Solution   A homogenous mixture of two or more substances, uniformly mixed through-out a single phase.  
🗑
Solvent   The substance that does the dissolving.  
🗑
Solute   The substance that is dissolved.  
🗑
Suspension   A heterogenous mixture that seperates into layers over time.  
🗑
Endothermic   Heat coming in.  
🗑
Exothermic   Heat going out.  
🗑
Isotope   Change in the number of neutrons.  
🗑
Democritus   Thought the atom was like a stone that could be cut till no more.  
🗑
Dalton   Thought the atom was like a pellet or billiard ball that combines to form compounds.  
🗑
Thomson   Thought the atom was like a cookie and the chips are the electrons.  
🗑
Rutherford   Discovered the nucleus where positive charges were and electrons swirled around the nucleus.  
🗑
Bohr   Thought the atom was like a solar system where electrons exist in energy levels around the nucleus and electrons jump up and down.  
🗑
Schrodinger   Thought the atom was like a cloud where particles are like waves and that you can't pinpoint where they are.  
🗑
Proton   Has a positive charge, has mass, lives in the nucleus.  
🗑
Neutrons   Has no charge, has mass, lives in the nucleus.  
🗑
Electrons   Negatively charged particles that orbit the the nucleus. It's symbol looks lie e-, they are in various energy levels, 1/1836 of a proton, and they don't affect the mass.  
🗑
Atomic Number   Number of protons in an atom.  
🗑
Atomic Mass   Number of protons plus the number of neutrons.  
🗑
Solid   Has a definite shape and a definite volume ( can't compress into a jar)  
🗑
Liquid   No definite shape ( takes form of the jar), no definite volume ( can't compress into a jar)  
🗑
Gas   No definite shape( takes form of container), no definite volume ( can compress)  
🗑
Physical Properties   Can be observed without changing a substance into another substance. Changes of state occur when heat energy is released or absorbed.  
🗑
Sublimation   Solid to gas.  
🗑
Deposition   Gas to solid.  
🗑
Melting   Solid to liquid.  
🗑
Freezing   Liquid to solid.  
🗑
Evaporation   Liquid to gas  
🗑
Condensation   Gas to liquid.  
🗑
Chemical Properties   Can be observed when matter undergoes a change in chemical composition.  
🗑
Elements in the Atmosphere   78.3% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen.  
🗑
Elements in the Human Body   6.3% Hydrogen, 25.5% Oxygen, 9.5% carbon, 1.4% Nitrogen.  
🗑
Radioactivity   An element can transform/decay or breakdown (because it's unstable) into a different isotope or to an entirely different element.  
🗑
Radiation   Released energy and matter. It emits one or more particles or electromagnetic energy, it does this because it's neutrons in the nucleus is too big.  
🗑
Alpha Decay   Fishy looking symbol. Alpha particles( 2 neutrons and 2 protons ) Similar to He without electrons. Positively charged particles. Massive. Passes through paper. Picks up electrons or ionize matter as they pass through.  
🗑
Beta Decay   Slanted B looking symbol. (electrons) Has a negative charge. Neutrons decay to form a proton and an electron, which is ejected at high speed. Ionize Matter. Stopped with 3 mm of Al or 10 mm of wood.  
🗑
Gamma Decay   Curvy Y looking symbol. Rays of electromagnetic energy. No charge. (Not Matter) Photons Ionize matter. Stopped with 60 mm of Al, 7 m of Pb or thick concrete.  
🗑
Fission   Splitting the atom.  
🗑
Fusion   Joining of the atom.  
🗑
Half Life   Time it takes for half of the sample to decay.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
