matter
-
amount of matter in a sample
mass
-

gas
-
these are distinguishing characteristics of a substance used in its identification and description
proterties
-
what property is the boiling point, melting point, density examples of
physical properties
-
what property is something that has the ability to change into something else
chemical property
-
characteristics of a substance that describes how it undergoes or resists a change to form a new substance, penny rusting, paper burning
chemical property
-
a process in which a substance changes it physical properties without a change in chemical composition, ice melting, alcohol evaporating
physical change
-
a process in which a substance changes its chemical composition, iron nail rusting, milk turning sour *forms a new substance*
chemical change
-
cannot be broken down into simpler substance, have unique set of their own physical properties
pure substance
-
combination of two or more elements that retain chemical identity, can be broken down
mixture
-
in a mixture there are two or more visible phases
hetergeneous
-
in a mixture there is only one visible phase
homogeneous
-
pure substance that cannot be broken down into simpler pure substance by chemical means
element
-
pure substance that can be broken down into two or more simpler pure substances by chemical means
compound
-
smallest particle of an element that still has the properties of the element
atom
-
group of two or more atoms that are tightly bound together
molecule
-
this behaves a single distinctive particle
molecule
-
uses chemical symbols and subscripts to describe the quantity of each type of atom present in the molecule
chemical formula
-
no uncertainty, whole numbers
exact
-
measurement numbers, have degree of uncertainty
inexact
-
all measurements have some degree of uncertainty or error, represented by
significant figures
-
used to describe very large or very small number
scientific notation
-
the limit of chemical subdivision for matter
atom
-
massive central core that contains protons and neutrons
nucleus
-
the same number of protons but different mass number the number of neutrons changes
isotope
-
is the relative mass of average atoms of an element
atomic mass
-
on periodic table going across the row
period
-
on periodic tabel go down the column
groups
-
what are the 8 groups on periodic table
alkaline metals, alkaline earth metals, transition metals, other metals, metalloids, non metals, halogens, nobel gases
-
attractive force that holds two or more atoms together
chemical bond
-
chemical bond formed through the transfer of electrons from one atom or group to another
ionic bond
-
chemical bond formed through the sharing of one or more electrons between two atoms
covalent bond
-
hold the metals together in a solid form
metallic bond
-
occur between a hydrogen atom and n o f
hydrogen bond
-
electrons in the outermost energy level of an element, they determine the bonding characteristics
valance electrons
-
symbols of the valance electrons for an element
lewis dots
-
atoms tend to gain/loose electrons to resemble a nobel gas, max of 8, metals typically loose electrons
octet rule
-
charged atoms that have the stability of a nobel gas
ions
-
positively charged loose an e-
cation
-
negatively charged gain an e-
anion
-
metal and non metal binary compound
ionic bond
-
two non metals binary molecular compound
covalent bonding
-
the more valance electrons around an element the greater the..
electronegativity
-
the bonding pair(s) of electrons is shared equally
non polar covalent bonds
-
the bonding pair(s) of electrons is shared unequally
polar covalent bonds
-
one atom gives up its electron to the other
ionic bond
-
covalently bonded atoms that carry a net charge
polyatomic ions
-
sum of the atomic masses of all atoms in a chemical formula
formula mass
-
6.02x10^23, counting unit
mole
-
