chemistry can be broken down into…
basic and biochemistry
define matter
anything that has mass and occupies space
what states does matter exist in
solid
liquid
gas
define energy
the capacity to do work or put matter into motion
what two forms does energy exist in
kinetic
potential
define kinetic energy
energy in action
define potential energy
stored energy
what are the different types of energy (4)
chemical
electrical
mechanical
electromagnetic
all matter is composed of ______
elements
what are the main 4 elements that make up the body
carbon
oxygen
hydrogen
nitrogen
define atoms

building blocks for each element
define atomic symbol
1 or 2 letter chemical shorthand for each element
define planetary model
fixed circular paths
outdated
define orbital model
current model that depicts orbitals
more accurate
define atomic number
number of protons
define mass number
protons + neutrons
define isotopes
atoms contain same number of protons but different number neutrons
define atomic weight
average mass of all isotope forms
define radioisotopes
isotopes that decompose to more stable forms
define molecule
general term; 2 or more atoms bonded together
define compound
specific term; 2 or more DIFFERENT kinds of atoms bonded together
define mixture
2+ components that are physically intermixed
what are the three basic types of mixtures
solutions
colloids
suspensions
define solutions
homogeneous mixtures, particles are evenly distributed
define solvent
liquid that does the disolving
define solute
substance that dissolves in the solvent

transparent
define colloids
emulsion
heterogeneous mixture
define sol-gel transformations
solution to gel
define suspensions
heterogenous mixture
settles out
how are mixtures separated
physical means
how are compounds separated
breaking chemical bonds
octet rule
shells hold a max of 8 electrons
define valence shell
outermost shell full of electrons
what are the three major types of chemical bonds
ionic
