Term | Definition |
Chemistry | Science that deals with the materials and the universe and the changes that these materials undergo. |
Atoms | The smallest units of elements with properties of the element. |
Atoms can be named after: | Scientists, places, color |
Most abundant elements in the Universe: | Hydrogen & Helium |
6 Branches of Chemistry | Organic, Inorganic, Physical, Analytical, Biochemistry, Theoretical |
Aristotle | Believed there were 4 elements: Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and above all the Eather |
Alchemists | Midivil scientists that tried changing the chemical makeup of materials, specifically gold. |
Henri Becquerel | Discovered radiation in 1896. |
Marie Curie | Coined the term "radiation" and won the Nobel Prize. |
Rutherford | Determined the composition of atoms. |
Observation | Noting a measurement or quality of some substance or process |
Qualitative | No measurements. |
Quantitative | Measurements taken. |
Macroscopic | Large scale. |
Microscopic | Atomic scale. |
Interpretation | Our ideas based on observations we have made. |
Experiment | Method of collecting data to evaluate a hypothesis. |
Variable | A quantity that can change |
Independent Variable | Variable you change in an experiment (only 1 independent variable per experiment!!). |
Dependent Variable | Outcome that we measure. |
Constant | Factor that doesn't change. |
Control | Standard by which the test results can be compared. |
Theory | Explanation based on observations and investigations. |
Scientific Law | Natural Law. Rule of nature that seems to be true all the time, but doesn't explain why. |
Matter | Anything that has mass and takes up space. |
Mass | Measure of amount of matter (g, kg). |
Volume | Amount of space (L, ml, cm^3, m^3) |
Density | Mass per unit volume (D=m/v) (g/cc, kg/m^3) |
Element | Pure substance made of only one kind of atom (cannot be separated into simpler substances). |
Allotrope | Different forms of the same element. |
Compound | Substance made of 2 or more elements chemically combined. |
Molecule | Atoms stuck together by bonds. |
Extensive Property | Depends on amount of matter. ex: mass |
Intensive Property | Doesn't depend on amount of matter. ex: density, boiling/melting point, magnetism |
Physical Property | Inherent characteristics: size, shape, boiling point |
Chemical Property | Ability to form new substances. |
Physical Change | Change in appearance without a change in identity. |
Chemical Change | A new substance is formed. |
Law of Conservation of Mass | Mass isn't gained or lost during a chemical reaction. |
Standard Measurement | Exact quantity people agree to use for comparison. |
Length | Distance between two points. |
Derived Unit | Combination of different units. |
Measuring Temperature | SI Unit is the Kelvin (K) |
Thompson Model | Discovered electron using cathode tube ray. Plum Pudding Model. |
Bohr Model | Atom mostly empty space. Electrons orbit like planets around the sun. |
James Chadwic | Discovered the neutron in 1932. |
1st level | 2 electrons |
2nd level | 8 electrons |
3rd level | 18 electrons |
4th level | 32 electrons |
Valance Electrons | Electrons in outer level or sublevel. |
Quarks | Make up protons and neutrons. |
Average Atomic Mass | Average mass of all isotopes of an element. |
Atomic Number | Number of protons. Usually equal the number of electrons. |
Atomic Mass | Number of protons plus number of neutrons. |
Isotope | Same element with a different number of neutrons. |
Allotrope | The same element or isotope with a different formation. |
Half Life | Amount of time it takes for half of a sample of an isotope to break down into other elements. |
Carbon Dating | Using the decay of C-14 to determine the age of organic substances. |
Electron Dot Structure | Shorthand method of showing the number of valence electrons of an element. |
Ion | An atom that has gained or lost electrons. |
Positive Ion | Cation. Lost an electron. More protons. Usually metals. |
Negative Ion | Anion. Gained an electron. Fewer protons. Usually non-metals. |
Oxidation Number | Combining the ability of an element (charge of an ion). |
Chemical Bond | Force that holds atoms together in a compound. |
Ionic Bond | Electrons are transfered, creating opposite charges which attract. |
Chemical Formula | Indicates the elements in a compound and the ratio of those elements. |
Type 1 Binary Compound | 2 Elements A-Group metal + non metal |
Type 2 Binary Compound | Transition metal + non metal |
Type 3 Binary Compound | 2 non metals share electrons |
