🗑
metric system   the primary system of measurement in the world  
🗑
base unit   the unit from which all other units are derived  
🗑
derived unit   attaching a prefix to the name of a base unit ie. kilo, milli, micro  
🗑
meniscus   the curved surface of the liquid in a graduated cylinder. always read the bottom to get an accurate reading  
🗑
mass   a measurement of how strongly an object resists being moved/different from weight because it is not affected by gravity  
🗑
precision   a measurement is precise when repeating something many times always produces approximately the same number  
🗑
accuracy   the ability of a measuring tool to give us the correct answer  
🗑
conversion factor   is a fraction that shows how two different units are related to one another  
🗑
boiling point of water in degrees F and degrees C   212 degrees F and 100 degrees C  
🗑
normal body temperature in degrees F and degrees C   98.6 degrees F and 37 degrees C  
🗑
room temperature in degrees F and degrees C   68-77 degrees F and 20-25 degrees C  
🗑
freezing point in degrees F and degrees C   32 degrees F and 0 degrees C  
🗑
compound unit   unit A per Unit B= unit A/unit B ie. 1.25 per gallon  
🗑
formula for density   density=mass/volume  
🗑
formula for specific gravity   specific gravity of a substance=density of the substance/density of water(1g/ml)-same as density except no units  
🗑
cell   is the smallest structural unit that can grow and reproduce  
🗑
matter   all things that have mass (everything)  
🗑
homogenous   matter that has a consistent appearance throughout  
🗑
heterogeneous   matter that has areas of differing appearance  
🗑
extensive properties   properties of a specific sample of a substance ie. this amount of salt weighs 3.5 grams  
🗑
intensive properties   are all inclusive/not dependent on a specific sample ie. all salt is white  
🗑
mixture   matter that can have different proportions of its ingredients  
🗑
pure substance   matter that has only one possible composition ie. table salt  
🗑
compound   a pure substance that can be made from and broken down into other substances  
🗑
element   cannot be made from or broken down into anything else  
🗑
explain why Mg does not normally form covalent bonds.   a Mg atom only has two valence electrons, so it has six empty spaces that need to be filled. since it can only form bonds with two other atoms, there is no way for it to be able to fill all the spaces to form an octet.  
🗑
which group 8A element does not have eight valence electrons? why is this element placed in the inert gas group?   helium does not have 8 valence electrons. the reason it is placed in the 8A group is b/c helium's valence shell is filled just like the noble gases are/show similar chemical properties  
🗑
which element in group 1A does not behave like any of other others? why is this?   hydrogen, b/c it has one electron in its valence shell like a 1A element, but it can also hold one more electron like a 7A element/shows some similarities of both  
🗑
mono-   one (used only for the second element)  
🗑
di-   two  
🗑
tri-   three  
🗑
tetra-   four (tetra titties!)  
🗑
penta-   five (five incher)  
🗑
hexa-   six (i will place six hexas on you)  
🗑
name of H20   water  
🗑
name of NH3   ammonia  
🗑
name of N20   nitrous oxide  
🗑
NO   nitric oxide  
🗑
what does the number and letter above each group represent? ie 4A   it represents the number of valence electrons  
🗑
how do each of these groups of elements form ions?   1A-lose 1 electron 2A- lose two electrons 3A-lose three electrons 4A- usually doesnt form ions 5A-gain 3 electrons 6A- gain two electrons 7A-gain one electron
