Term
Definition
matter   the material of the universe - has mass and takes up space  
🗑
substance   a sample of matter having a constant (uniform or definite) composition  
🗑
atoms   fundamental unit of which elements are made, smallest particle of an element that retains the properties of that element  
🗑
elements   substances made by bonding two or more of the same atoms together  
🗑
compounds   substances made by bonding two or more different atoms in specific ways  
🗑
molecules   a collection of atoms bonded together that behave as a unit  
🗑
allotropes   different physical forms of the same element  
🗑
states of matter   solid, liquid, and gas  
🗑
solid   matter that has definite shape and volume  
🗑
liquid   matter that has definite volume, but takes the shape of its container  
🗑
gas   matter that takes both the shape and volume of its container  
🗑
properties of matter   properties are physical or chemical characteristics of substances  
🗑
physical property    
🗑
chemical property   a characteristic of a substance that describes the ability of that substance to change into a different substance  
🗑
physical changes   changes in a substance that do not change the chemical composition of the substance  
🗑
chemical changes   changes in a substance that change the chemical composition of the substance  
🗑
mixture   two or more substances (elements or compounds) that are physically combined  
🗑
homogeneous   a type of mixture that is completely uniform in composition  
🗑
heterogeneous   a type of mixture that is not uniform in composition  
🗑
distillation   used to separate two or more liquids taking advantage of differences in boiling points  
🗑
filtration   used to separate solids from liquids, or solids from other solids  
🗑
chromatography   used to separate substances with different masses that dissolve in a common solvent  
🗑
electrolysis   used to break compounds apart into elements, or to seperate ion susing electrical charge  
🗑
trace minerals   mineral that is essential but present in small quantities  
🗑
Law of Constant Composition   a given compound always contains the same proportions  
🗑
chemical formula   the types of atoms and the number of each type in each unit (molecule) of s given compound  
🗑
nucleus   central, dense core of the atom that contains most of the mass of the atom (protons + neutrons)  
🗑
proton   positively charged particle found in the nucleus of the atom  
🗑
neutron   neutral particle found in nucleus of the atom  
🗑
nucleon   particle in the nucleus - refers to either protons or neutrons  
🗑
electron   negatively charged particle found in the region surrounding the nucleus  
🗑
atomic number   the number of protons in the nucleus  
🗑
mass number   the sum of the number of neutrons and protons in a given nucleus  
🗑
isotopes   atoms with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons  
🗑
isotope abundance   percentage of that isotope that occurs naturally in an element  
🗑
isotope mass   mass of an atom of that isotope  
🗑
atomic mass   mass of an atom measured in "atomic mass units" (amu)  
🗑
average atomic mass   weighted average mass of atoms in a naturally occurring sample of the element  
🗑
Dalton   atom - original atomic theory  
🗑
William Crookes   cathode ray tube - invisible tays flow from cathode to anode  
🗑
J.J. Thomson   electron - cathode ray - plum pudding model - tiny negative particles can be emitted  
🗑

🗑
Rutherford   nucleus, proton - gold foil experiment - dense center of positive charge; center composed of positive particles  
🗑

🗑
Schrodinger   quantum-mechanical model - location of electron has a probability associated with it  
🗑
Chadwick   neutron - center also has neutral particles  
🗑


   

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.
