Question
Answer
derivitive   made by attatching new atoms to the molecule  
🗑
Dr. Roy Plunkett   young scientist who discovered reflon by serendipity  
🗑
Daniel Farenheit   created a scale that said water froze at 32 degrees and body temp was 96 degrees (revised to 98.6  
🗑
Andreas Celcius   created a thermometer- used liquid mercury in a glass tube. Had 0= boiling point and 100= freezing point (later the two were switched)  
🗑
state of matter   whether a substance is a solid liquid or gas  
🗑
kinetic-molecular theory   says that all matter consists of extremely tiny particles (atoms, molecules, or ions), which are in constant motion  
🗑
kinetic energy   energy of motion  
🗑
periodic table   a table in which symbols and other info for elements are contained in boxes  
🗑
chemical bond   an interaction between 2 or more atoms that holds them togeter by reducing the potential energy of their electrons  
🗑
chemical compound   a pure substance that is composed of 2 or more different elements held together by a chemical bond  
🗑
physial properties   properties which can be observed and masured without changing the compostion of the substance  
🗑
density   the ratio of the mass of an object to its volume, which is a physical property useful for identifying substances  
🗑
extensive properties   depends on the amount of a substance present (exp: mass and volume)  
🗑
intensive properties   do not depend on the amount of a substance present (exp: melting point, density)  
🗑
physical changes   changes in physical properties in which the identity of the substance is perserved even though the appearence has changed  
🗑
chemical change   reaction in whihc one or more substances (reactants) are transformed into one or more different substances (the products)  
🗑
chemical equation   representation of the chhange with chemical formulas  
🗑
metric system   the standard system for recording and reporting measurements  
🗑
SI (International System of Units)   a decimal system used internationally in science  
🗑
absolute zero   on the kelvin scale, the lowest temperature that can be achieved  
🗑
precision   consistency  
🗑
accuracy   exact  
🗑
mass   the fundamental measure of the quantity of matter  
🗑
subatomic particles   3 things that make up all atoms  
🗑
radioactivity   the phenomenon that says atoms of certain substances emit unusual waves when they disinegrate  
🗑
canal rays   positvely charged particles which move in oppoite direction to cathode rays and pass through hole in the cathode and were detected on opposite sides  
🗑
nucleus   tiny core of an atom in which the protons and neutrons are located  
🗑
atomic number (z)   number of protons in nucleus of atom that is unique for each element  
🗑
atomic mass unit (u)   the way masses of fundamental atomic particles are often expressed  
🗑
mass # (A)   the sum of the # of protons and neutrons in an atom  
🗑
isotopes   atoms with the same atomic # but different mass #  
🗑
percent abundance   the amount of a substance on earth  
🗑
ion   atom with a charge (different number of electrons)  
🗑
mole   6.02 x 10 ^-23  
🗑
Dalton   came up with an atomic theory. thought that an atom was a uniformly dense sphere in 1800s  
🗑
Crookes   1870s-> cathode ray tube-> magnet deflected the beam (wasn't sure if it was particles or light) but since it reflected, CONCLUDED IT WAS A BEAM OF PARTICLES  
🗑
Thomson   1890s-> Picked up Crooke's work and concluded PARTICLES ARE NEGATIVELY CHARGED because they deflect towards positive magnet-> called them electrons MADE PLUM PUDDING MODEL  
🗑
Rutherford   1911-> gold foil experiment-> concluded MOST OF THE ATOM IS EMPTY SPACE. ALL OF THE POSITIVE CHARGE AND MOST OF THE MASS IS LOCATED IN A DENSE CENTER->nucleus  
🗑
metalloids   have some properties of metals but aren't metals  
🗑
Alkali metals   group 1A  
🗑
alkaline earth metals   group 2A  
🗑
halogens   group 7A  
🗑
noble gases   group 8A  
🗑
chemistry   a study of matter and what it is made of  
🗑
proton   the number of these particles determines the where an element is on theperiodic table  
🗑
hypothesis   educated guess  
🗑
atom   the smallest particle of an element that retains the chemical properties of of that element  
🗑
molecule   substance formed when 2 or more atoms share electrons  
🗑
law   a proven fact  
🗑
theory   explanation based on a hypothesis that has been verified many times  
🗑
heterogeneous   mixture in which the parts are still visible and are not evenly dispersed  
🗑
homogeneous   a solution tat has solute evenly distributed throughout  
🗑
particulate   another word for subatomic  
🗑
macroscopic   looking at the big picture  
🗑
symbolic   using shorter notation to represent something  
🗑

🗑
electron   particle found in orbitals around the nucleus of an atom  
🗑
quantitative   numerical data  
🗑
neutron   a subatomic particle that has no charge  
🗑
everything is made of this   matter  
🗑
