Atoms, elements and compounds C3 Flashcards
chemical reaction
when 2 or more substances react together to from a new substance
identifying physical and chemical changes
substance made or not, reversible or not
sign for the reaction can be reversable
⇌
example for reversible reaction copper II
hydrated copper II sulfate ⇌ anhydrous copper II sulfate
example for reversible reaction cobalt II
hydrated cobalt II chloride ⇌ anhydrous cobalt II chloride
elements
substance that contains only one type of atom
compound
substance containing two or more types of atoms that are chemically joined
mixture
contains elements and compounds, but not chemically joined
properties of metal
shiny, good conductors, high melting/boiling points, ductile(stretches to a wire), sonorous (rings when hit), malleable (can be beaten into shape)
properties of non-metals
dull, poor conductors, low melting/boiling point, brittle (easy to break)
metalliods
non of metal or non metal, elements make stair case shape from boron to polonium
alloys
metals mixed with other elements
solution
mixture that is formed by fully dissolving a substance into another
solute
substance dissolved (solid)
solvent
substance that dissolves (liquid)
