Chemistry Terms
Definitions
Fluid   A fluid is matter that can flow such as a gas or liquid  
🗑
Surface Tension   The attractive forces acting on the particles on the surface of a liquid  
🗑
Temperature   The average kinetic energy of the individual particles of a substance  
🗑
Kinetic Energy   Energy of Motion  
🗑
crystalline solid   Solids in which the particles are arranged in a repeating, three-dimensional pattern  
🗑
amorphous solid   These solids consist of large particles in a random arrangement  
🗑
Density   The measure of compactness or how much mass is in a particular volume  
🗑
Pressure   The force exerted on a surface divided by the total area over which the force is exerted ----- Pressure = Force / Area  
🗑
Atomic number   the number of protons in the nucleus  
🗑
Atomic Mass (Mass Number)   the number of protons + the number of neutrons in the nucleus  
🗑
Isotope   atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons and a different number of neutrons  
🗑
Sublimation   process by which a solid changes into a gas without passing through the liquid phase, gaining energy  
🗑
Ion   atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons but a different number of electrons  
🗑
Charles' Law   direct relationship between temperature and pressure  
🗑
Boyle's Law   Inverse relationship between volume and pressure  
🗑
Subatomic Particle   particles that make up an atom  
🗑
Nucleus   central region of an atom, contains protons and neutrons, very dense  
🗑
Electron Cloud   area surrounding the nucleus of the atom, contains the electrons located in energy levels  
🗑
Aristotle   4 elements: Earth, Fire, Water & Air  
🗑
Democritus   atoms cannot be further divided  
🗑
John Dalton   all atoms of the same element are alike, an atom is uniform throughout  
🗑
JJ Thomson   electrons (embedded in a positive sphere)  
🗑
Ernest Rutherford   nucleus (positive charge located here)  
🗑

🗑
Solid Phase of Matter   particles vibrate in place, definite volume, definite shape, low energy state  
🗑
Liquid Phase of Matter   Particles are free flowing, no definite shape, definite volume  
🗑

🗑
Thermal Energy   total energy of all particles in a sample of matter  
🗑
Specific Heat   the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance 1 degree C  
🗑
Heat   movement of energy from a substance of higher temperature to one at lower temperture  
🗑
Viscosity   resistance to flow of a liquid  
🗑
Plasma State of Matter   Super-heated gas,highest energy,4th state of matter, found in lightning, fluorescent and neon lights, stars  
🗑

🗑
Deposition   process by which gas changes directly to a solid without passing through the liquid phase, losing energy  
🗑
Vaporization   process by which liquid changes to a gas, gaining energy  
🗑
Condensation   process by which a gas changes to a liquid, losing energy  
🗑
Freezing   process by which a liquid changes into a solid, losing energy  
🗑
Melting   process by which a solid changes into a liquid, gaining energy  
🗑


   

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.
