Branches of Chemistry, Matter and Sub-atomic particles Flashcards
deals with the identification and quantification of chemical substances.
Analytical Chemistry
deals with the physical properties of chemical substances using physics and mathematical computations.
Physical Chemistry
deals with carbon compounds.
Organic Chemistry
deals with compound without H and C.
Inorganic Chemistry
deals with chemical reactions with living things.
Biochemistry
anything with mass and volume and takes up space.
Matter
this matter has a definite shape and is not free-flowing.
Solid
this matter conforms to the shape of the container it is in.
Liquid
this matter occupies the whole space of a container and its particles are distant to each other.
Gas
this matter is a collection of charged particles containing nearly equal numbers of positive and negative ions.
Plasma
the actual, non-chemical, aspect of matter.
Physical (property)
the elements which the matter is made of.
Chemical (property)
a change in the phase or state of a substance. Some physical properties of substances are altered but its chemical composition remain unchanged.
Physical (change)
a change in composition of its molecules changes. The properties of the original substances with new properties are produced.
Chemistry (change)
solid to liquid (ex. melting of ice and snow).
Melting or Fusion
liquid to solid (ex. freezing water of a liquid material).
Freezing
solid to gas (ex. dry ice).
Sublimation
gas to solid (ex. fromation of snow and frost).
Deposition
liquid to gas (ex. water cycle).
Vaporization
gas to liquid (ex. formation of dew).
Condensation
the periodic table; cannot be broken down.
Elements
two or more elements bonded together. Can be broken down or created by means of reaction but not by mehcanical or physical techniques.
Compound
is the smallest unit of an element that has a property of an element.
Atom
is the smallest unit of compound. A group of atoms linked together by sharing electrons in a chemical bond. It can also participate in a chemical reaction.
