Term | Definition |
Chemistry | The study of matter |
Matter | Anything that has mass and volume |
3 states of matter | Solid, Liquid, Gas |
Solid | has definite volume and maintains shape |
Liquid | has definite volume and takes shape of container |
Gas | has no definite volume or shape |
Physical properties | can be observed or measured without changing the material boiling point (bp) melting point (mp) solubility color and odor |
Physical change | alters the material does not change composition |
Chemical properties | determines how a substance can be changed into another |
Chemical change/ chemical reaction | converts one substance into another |
Pure substance | one substance, cannot be broken down by physical change into another pure substance |
Mixture | more than one substance, can be separated into its components by physical change |
Element | pure substance cannot be broken down by chemical change |
Compound | pure substance formed by joining two or more elements chemically |
Measurement | is always composed by a unit and a number. Each measurement has a base unit. |
Exact number | results from counting numbers or is part of a definition |
Inexact number | results from measurement or observation and contains some uncertainty |
Significant figures | all digits measured including one estimated digit. All non zero digits are significant |
Zero is significant when: | between 2 non zero digits and at the end of a number with a decimal place |
Zero does not count when: | at the beginning of a number and at the end of a number that does not have a decimal |
Scientific notation | a number between 1 and 10, and exponent any positive or negative whole number |
Factor-label method | uses conversion factors to convert a quantity in one unit to a quantity in another unit |
Conversion factor | term that converts a quantity in one unit to a quantity in another unit |
Temperature | measure of how hot or cold an object is. Three temperature scales are used degrees Fahrenheit, Celsius, and kelvin |
Density | physical property that relates the mass of a substance to its volume |
Specific gravity | quantity that compares the density of a substance with the density of water at the same temperature |
Three groups division on the periodic table | metals, nonmetals, and metalloids |
Metals | on the left side of the periodic table, exist as shiny solids, are good conductors of heat and electricity, solids at room temperature |
Non metals | on the right side of periodic table, no shiny appearance, poor conductors of heat and electricity, can be liquid, solids, or gases at room temperature |
Metalloids | located on the solid line that starts at boron, properties between metals and nonmetals, presented by 7 elements only |
Chemical formula | element symbols and subscripts to show the ratio of atoms in the compound |
Matter | is composed of the same basic building blocks called atoms |
Atoms | are composed of three subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons |
Nucleus | location of protons and neutrons, dense core of the atom, most of the mass of the atom resides here |
Electron cloud | location of electrons comprises most of the atom’s volume |
Atomic number | the number of protons in the nucleus |
Mass number | the number of protons and the number of neutrons |
Isotopes | are atoms of the same element that have a different number of neutrons |
Atomic weight | weighted average of the masses of the naturally occurring isotopes, reported in atomic mass units |
Period | A row in the periodic table |
Group | column in the periodic table |
