Modern Chemistry - a few random cards

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
Mass   the measure of the amount of matter  
🗑
volume   the amount of 3D space an object occupies  
🗑
atom   the smallest unit of an element that maintains the chemical identity of that element.  
🗑
element   pure substance that cannot be broken down into simpler, stable substances. Made of one atom.  
🗑
extensive properties   depend on the amount of matter present. volume, mass, amount of energy in a substance  
🗑
intensive properties   do not depend on the amount of matter present. melting point, boiling point, density, and ability to conduct electricity and transfer heat.  
🗑
alloy   a substance composed of two or more metals (or metals & a nonmetal)  
🗑
molecule   the smallest unit of an element or compound that retains all of the properties of that element or compound  
🗑
colloid   a mixture consisting of tiny particles that are intermediate in size between those in solutions & those in suspensions and that are suspended in a liquid, solid, or gas  
🗑
suspension   a mixture in which particles of a material are more or less evenly dispersed throughout a liquid or gas.  
🗑
ductility   the ability of a substance to be hammered thin or drawn out into a wire  
🗑
group   vertical column  
🗑
malleability   the ability of a substance to be hammered or beaten into a sheet.  
🗑
period   horizontal row. elements in a period tend to be the most similar to each other  
🗑
tensile strength   a measure of the ability of material to resist a force that tends to pull it apart.  
🗑
scientific method   a logical approach to solving problems by observing and collecting data, formulating hypotheses, testing hypotheses and formulating theories that are supported by data.  
🗑
system   a specific portion of matter in a given region of space that has been selected for study during an experiment or observation.  
🗑
quantitative   numerical data  
🗑
qualitative   descriptive data when observing  
🗑
quantity   something that has size, magnitude, or amount.  
🗑
SI   the meter, kilogram, second, kelvin (temp.), mole (amount of substance), ampere (electric current), and candela (luminous intensity)  
🗑
weight   the measure of gravitational pull on an object  
🗑
derived unit   combination of SI base units  
🗑
conversion factor   a ration derived from the equality between two different units that can be used to convert from one unit to the other.  
🗑
dimensional analysis   a mathematical technique that allows you to use units to solve problems involving measurements.  
🗑
Density equation   D = M / V  
🗑
Percentage error equation   experimental value - accepted value divided by accepted value, times 100  
🗑
accuracy   closeness to actual measurement  
🗑
precision   closeness to your other measurements  
🗑
significant figures rules   - zeros between nonzero digits are significant (5008) - zeros at the end of a number & to the right of a decimal place are significant (9000 or .09)  
🗑
directly proportional   if you can divide one by the other & get a constant value (straight line)  
🗑
inversely proportional   their product is constant. hyperbola.  
🗑


   

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.
