🗑
Inorganic Chem   Study of all the chemicals containing C  
🗑
Physical Chem   deals w/ the mechanism, rate, and energy transfer that occurs when matter undergoes a change  
🗑
Theoretical Chem   use of math and computers to understand observed behavior in order to predict properties of new compounds  
🗑
Basic/Pure Chem/Research   pursuit of knowledge  
🗑
Applied Chem/Research   W/ a goal in mind  
🗑
Technological development   allows things to be done quicker w/ less effort. Serves needs and desires of society  
🗑
Mass   measure of the amount of matter  
🗑
Matter   has mass and takes up space  
🗑
Atom   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, and is made up of one type of atom  
🗑
Compounded   substance that can be broken down into simple stable substances  
🗑
Extensive Property   depend on the amount of matter that is present  
🗑
Intensive   Do not depend on the amount of matter present  
🗑
Physical Change   change in a substance that does not involve a change in the identity of the substance  
🗑
Chemical Change   Change in which 1 or more substances are converted into diff substances  
🗑
Physical Property   characteristic that can be observed or measured w/o changing the identity of the substance  
🗑
Chem Property   relates to a substance's ability to undergo changes that transform it to diff substances  
🗑
Reactant   substances that react in a chem change  
🗑
Product   substances formed by a chem change  
🗑
Accuracy   closeness to the "correct" or "Accepted" value  
🗑
Precision   repeatability; ability to repeat the result when measured in the same way  
🗑
Percent error   calculated by subtracting the accepted value then multiplied by 100  
🗑
Law of the conservation of mass   matter can't be created or destroyed by chemical reactions  
🗑
Law of Definite Proportions   Chem Compound contains the same element in exactly the same proportion by mass regardless of the size of the sample or the source of the compound  
🗑
Law of Multiple Proportions   if 2 or more different compounds are composed of the same two elements then the ratio of the masses of the 3nd element combined with a certain mass of the 1st element is always a ratio of small whole #s.  
🗑
Atomic Number   the # of protons each atom of that element  
🗑
Isotopes   atoms of the same element that have different masses  
🗑
Mass number   total # of protons & neutrons that make up the nucleus of an isotope  
🗑
Average atomic Mass   the weighed average of the atomic masses of the naturally occurring isotopes of an element  
🗑
Mole   amount of a substance that contains as many particles as there are atoms in exactly 12g of carbon-12  
🗑
Avogrado's #   6.022x10^23. The # of particles in exactly one mole of a pure substance  
🗑
Molar Mass   mass of one mole of a pure substance  
🗑
Quantum   amount of energy required to move an e- from one energy level to another  
🗑
Ground State   lowest energy level position for an electron  
🗑
Excited State   higher energy level/position for an electron  
🗑
Heinsenberg uncertainty principle   states that it is impossible to determine simultaneously both the position and velocity of an electron or any other particle  
🗑
Quantum theory   describes mathematically the wave properties of electrons and other very small particles  
🗑
Electron Configuration   -are the ways in which e- are arranged into various orbitals. -since neutral atoms of diff elements have diff #s of e-, each element has a unique electron configuration  
🗑
Aufbau Principle   electrons occupy orbitals in order of lowest energy to highest energy  
🗑
Pauli Exclusion Principle   n orbital can only hold 2 e- and if an orbital contains 2e- they must have opposite spins  
🗑
Hund's Rule   -put all electrons in 1sublevel, give them their own orbital first and make them go in the same direction  
🗑
Periodic Law   Physical and Chem properties of the elements are periodic functions of their atomic #s  
🗑
Periodic Table   an arrangement of the elements in order of their atomic #s so that elements with similar properties fall in the same column/group  
🗑
lanthanides   14 elements w/ atomic #s from 58-71  
🗑
actinides   14 elements w/ atomic #s from 90=103  
🗑
main-group elements   p-block and s-block elements  
🗑
