Term
Definition
Pure Substance   Matter that only contains one kind of particle  
🗑
Mixture   Matter that contains more than one kind of particle  
🗑
Element   A pure substance made up of two or more different elements that are chemically combined.  
🗑
Compound   A pure substance that cannot be broken down into simpler parts by chemical methods.  
🗑
Physical property   A substanc that can not change its scent or type of substance. Can be observed an measured without changing its identity  
🗑
Chemical property   Ability for a substance to change or react and from a new substance.  
🗑
Physical change   -change substance back -go from liquid to solid -doesn't produce new substance -doesn't change original substance  
🗑
Chemical Change   -Can't be reversed -Forms a new substance -Bubbles -Odour changes  
🗑
Viscosity   The resistance of liquid to flowing. Applies to liquids only.  
🗑
Form   The shape of an object  
🗑
Texture   The way a substance feels  
🗑
Hardness   The resistance of a substance to be scratched.  
🗑
Ducktivity   The ability to be stretched into a wire. Applies to metals and other solids.  
🗑
Malleability   The ability of a substance to be hammered into a thin sheet. Applies to metals and other solids  
🗑
Conductivity   The ability of a substance to transmit heat, sounds, or electricity.  
🗑
Brittleness   The ability of an object to break apart or shatter easily.  
🗑
Solubility   A solid (solute) mixing with a liquid (solvent)to make a solution (mixture)  
🗑
Democritis   400 AD Came up with atomas (smallest thing possible on Earth)  
🗑
John Dalton   1800 Came up with modern atomic theory and that the atom was a round ball  
🗑
J.J Thompson   1897 Discovered electrons and made the cathode ray tube experiment: one positive electron in the middle with four negatives around it.  
🗑
Ernst Rutherford   1907 Discovered nucleus and created the gold foil experiment: Atom was not round and had negative electrons floating aorund the one positive in the centre.  
🗑
Neils Bohr   1912 Discovered orbitals that the electrons travel on  
🗑
James Chadwick   1932 Discovered neutron (no electric charge but has negative charge)  
🗑
Atom   The basic unit of a chemical element, smallest thing on Earth.  
🗑
Electron   Subatomic particle that is found in all atoms (negative charge)  
🗑

🗑
Nucleus   DNA holder of a cell. Central and msot important part of cell. Found in atoms  
🗑
Proton   A subatomic particle occuring in a nucleus (positive charge)  
🗑
Neutron   Subatomic particles, similiar to a proton bu without electric charge.  
🗑
Alkali Metals   React rapidly when exposed to air or water. Low melting points and very soft.  
🗑
Alkaline Earth Metals   Highly reactive but less than alkali metals. Produce bright, colourful flames. Used in fireworks  
🗑
Halogens   Most reactive non metals. Extremely corrosive. Fluorine can be used to etch glass. Chlorine as a gas produces serious respiratory problems. Bromine causes serious skin burns.

🗑
Cation   Positively charged ion  
🗑
Anion   Negatively charged ion  
🗑


   

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.
