Chapter 1 Flashcards
Dalton’s Atomic Theory
- all matter consists of individual particles called atoms. 2. All atoms of 1 element are identical (not true anymore). 3. different elements have different atoms. 4. Atoms are indestructible.

Atomic Number
Number of Protons in an elements nucleus
Mass Number
Number of Protons and Neutrons in an elements nucleus
Isotopes
Variations of an element with same number of protons and electrons but different number of neutrons
Pure Substance
- Have one or many components. 2. Can only be separated by chemical means.
Mixtures
- Always has many components 2. Can be separated by physical means
Single Components
Elements
Multi-Components
Compounds made from various elements
Homogenous mixture
Even distribution throughout
Heterogenous mixture
Uneven distribution throughout
Physical Change
Does not change the composition of substance
Chemical Change
Changes the composition of the substance
Intensive Property
Independent of sample size
Extensive Property
Dependent on sample size
Physical Property
property that doesn’t change substance composition
Chemical Property
