without changing their identities.

17
Q

Pure substances can be classified into two groups

A

element and chemical compounds

18
Q

Element.

A

A fundamental substance that cannot be broken down chemically into any simpler substance.

19

20
Q

what do you call that which is written on the left

A

reactant (exp water)

21
Q

what do you call that on right

A

products (hydrogen and oxygen)

22
Q

what connects parts of chemical reaction

A

An arrow connects the two parts to indicate a chemical reaction. The conditions necessary are written above and below the arrow.

23
Q

how many elements, how many naturally

A

118 elements have been identified. 91 occur naturally.

24
Q

what are 3 core groups in peirodic table

A

metals (majority ), nonmetals, metalloids

25
characteristics of metals
94 on left side, good conductors Heat Electricity, lusturous, solid room temp (ex. Mecury), maluable
26
Characteristics of nonmetals
18, occur right side, 11 gases 6 solids, 1 (bromine) liquid. Poor conductors Heat Electricity, Brittle when solid
27
characteristics of metalloid
6, zizag between metals and nonmetals, properties intermediate betwen metals and nonmetals
28
how tell chemical reaction taking place
change color, dissolving material (nickel) bubbles gas (hydrogen)
29
Physical quantity.
