Atoms, Elements, Compounds, And Mixtures Flashcards
atom
the smallest unit of matter that still maintain the property of a element
ion
an atom that has acquired a positive or negative charge by either gaining or losing electrons. (the number of protons stays the same)
matter
anything that has mass and takes up space
element
made up of only 1 type of atom
compound
made up of 2 or more different types of elements chemically combined
mixture
made up of 2 or more different kinds of particles that are jumbled up with each other but not chemically combined
molecule
made up of 2 or more atoms joined together (this could be the same or different type of atoms)
proton (state the charge, mass, and where its found within the atom)
positive charge (+1), 1, nucleus
neutron (state the charge, mass, and where its found within the atom)
neutral charge (0), 1, nucleus
electron (state the charge, mass, and where its found within the atom)
negative charge (-1), 1/2000, shells - outside the nucleus (obits around the nucleus)
valance electron
the electron(s) in the outermost energy level or outer shell of an atom
nucleus (state where it’s located, what it’s made up of, and what charge does it carry)
located in the center of the atom, made up of proton and neutron, and carries a positive charge
groups
columns, number of electrons on the outer shell
period
rows, number of shells
atomic number
number of protons or electrons
atomic mass
number of protons and neutrons
another name for group 1
alkali metal
why does reactivity increase as you move down the group
the nucleus and the valance electron(s) are further apart, reducing the attraction between them decrease, so it is easier for the valance electron(s) to be lost
how are group 1 metals kept and why
kept under oil to prevent from reacting with water in the air
acid (state the pH for strong & weak acid, taste, feeling)
strong acid: pH 0-2, weak acid: 3-6, sour, wet/sting
Base (state the pH for strong & weak alkaline, taste, feeling)
strong alkaline pH 12-14, weak alkaline pH 8-11, bitter/soapy, slippery
difference between base & alkaline
base: insoluble & soluble (alkaline) , alkaline: soluble
neutral (state the pH)
pH 7
3 strong acids
Hydrochloric acid (HCl), Sulfuric acid (H2SO4), Nitric acid (HNO3)
4 common acids
Hydrochloric acid (HCl), Sulphuric acid (H2SO4), Nitric acid (HNO3), Ethanoic (vinegar) (CH3COOH)
4 common alkalines
Sodium hydroxide (NaOH), Potassium oxide (K2H), Calcium carbonate (CaCO3), Ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH)
how to concentrate strong acids
add a small amount of solvent (usually water) to the strong acid
how to dilute strong acids
add a larger amount of solvent (more than the strong acid) (usually water) to the strong acid
difference between strong acids and concentrated acids
strong acids ionize in water to produce high concentration of hydrogen ions and concentrated acids are when you add a small amount of solvent to acid
differences between weak acids and diluted acids
weak acids partially ionize in water to produce low concentration of hydrogen ions and diluted acids are when you add a large amount of solvent to a low amount of acid
