Question
Answer
pure substances   type of matter that has a definite composition  
🗑
elements   simplest pure substances because they are composed of only are kind of atom  
🗑
compounds   two or more elements in the same proportion  
🗑
mixtures   two or more substances that are pysically mixed, but not chemically combined  
🗑
types of mixtures   homogeneous & heterogeneous  
🗑
homogeneous mixture   aka solution; composition is uniform throughout a sample (salt water)  
🗑
heterogeneous mixtures   components do not have a uniform composition throughout the sample (oil & water, raisins in a cookie)  
🗑
chemical symbols   one- or two-letter abbreviations for the names of the elements  
🗑
physical properties   characteristics that can be observed or measured w/o affecting the identity of an element (shape, color, odor, taste, density, hardness, melting point, boiling point)  
🗑
periodic table   the arrangement of elements created by Dmitri Mendeleev  
🗑
period   horizontal rows in the periodic table  
🗑
group   vertival columns on the periodic table  
🗑
atom   the smallest particle of an element that retains the characteristics of that element  
🗑
nucleus   positively charged region at the center of the atom  
🗑
amu (atomic mass unit)   used in expressing masses of neutrons, protons, ect  
🗑
atomic number   equal to the protons  
🗑
mass number   protons + neutrons= mass number  
🗑
isotopes   atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons  
🗑
atomic mass   average of the mass of isotopes of an elements  
🗑
valence electrons   outermost electrons  
🗑
group numbers   (1A-8A); indicates the number of valence electrons in an element  
🗑
atomic radius   the distance from the nucleus to the valence electrons  
🗑
ionization energy   energy needed to remove the least tightly bounded electron from an atom in the gaseous state.  
🗑


   

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.
