    Solution
  23. The material that dissolves the other substance(s) in a solution. It is the dissolving medium
    Solvent
  24. State the characteristics of all phases of matter
    • Solids - definate shape and volume. Slow molecular motion. Binding forces strong.
    • Liquids - Definite volume, indefinate shape. faster molecular motion Weaker binding than a solid. Slightly compressible
    • Gases - indefinite volume, compressible. indefinite shape, very fast molecular motion weak bonds
  25. State the mass and charge of all subatomic particles
    • Proton - Positive Charge - 1.0078 AMU
    • Neutron - Neutral Charge - 1.0087 AMU
    • Electron - Negative Charge - 5.486 x 10^-4 AMU
  26. Define Chemical and Physical changes and give examples
    • Chemical changes result in an identity change when a substance interacts with other matter
    • Physical change properties that can be determined without changing the identity of a substance
  27. What determines how an atom behaves chemically
    Valence electrons
  28. Define atomic weight
    The weighted average of the masses of all of its naturally occurring isotopes
  29. What is Avogadro's number Were does it come from
    • It comes from experimenting to find out how many atoms are in a mol.
    • 1 mol is 6.022 x 10 23 atoms
    • 1 mol of gas occupies 22.4L at Standard Temperature and Pressure
    • Avogadro's number represents the number of atoms in X grams of any element, where X is the atomic weight of the element
  30. Define a pure substance
    • A pure substance can't be separated into something else by any physical or mechanical means
    • Pure Gold is an example
  31. What are the similarities between members of a group?
    On the periodic table each column is a group. The difference between each group is the number of valance electrons.
  32. What is the molecular weight of NaH2PO4 (answer in gram/mol)
    • Sodium 1 atom x 22.98977 amu = 22.98977 amu
    • Hydrogen 2 atoms x 1.0079 amu = 2.0158 amu
