Chapter 2- Chemistry Flashcards
Matter
anything takes up space and has mass
States of Matter
solid, liquid, gas
Energy
capacity to do work; to matter into motion
Kinetic Energy
energy in action
Potential Energy
stored energy; at rest
Chemical Energy
stored in the bonds of chemical substances
Electrical Energy
movement of charged particles
Mechanical Energy
directly involved with moving matter
Radiant Energy/ Electromagnetic Radiation
energy that travels in waves
Element
unique substances that cannot be broken down
Periodic Table
listing of the known elements
Atoms
building blocks
Atomic Symbol
designated short name for elements (two letters) usually the first two letters
Physical Properties
detect with senses
Chemical Properties
the way atoms interact with other atoms bonding behavior
Nucleus
center of an atom contains protons and neutrons
Protons
positive charge
Neutrons
neutral charge
Atomic Mass Unit
mass (1amu)
Electrons
negative charge
Planetary Symbol
model of atomic structure e
Orbitals
regions around nucleus
Orbital Model
more useful for predicting the chemical behavior of atoms
Atomic Number
number of protons
Mass Number
sum of the masses of its protons and neutrons
Isotopes
structural variations of an element
Atomic Weight
average of the relative weights of all the isotopes of an element
Radioisotopes
isotopes that have radioactivity
Molecule
two or more atoms held together by chemical bond
when two or more atoms of the same element combine
Compound
two or more different kinds of atoms together
Mixtures
substances composed of two or more components physically intermixed
What are the 3 types of mixtures?
solutions , colloids, suspensions
Solutions
homogeneous mixtures of components that may be gases, liquids, or solids
Homogenous Mixture
mixture has exactly the same composition throughout
Solvent
substance with greater amount
Solutes
substance in smaller amounts
Percent
parts per 100 parts of the solute in the total solutions
Molarity
used to express concentration of a solution
Mole(M)
equal to atomic weight of the element
Molecular Weight
sum of the atomic weights in grams
Colloids (emulsions)
heterogenoeous mixtures; that are different in the areas of the mixture
Avogadro’s Number
6.02*10^23
Sol-Gel Transformations
transform from fluid state to a more solid (gel) state
Suspensions
heterogeneous mixtures; large solutes that tend to settle out
ex: sand and water
Chemical Bonds
energy relationship between the electrons of the reacting atoms
Electron Shells
surround the atomic nucleus (orbitals)
Energy Level
electron shell; orbital
How many electrons fill up first shell?
2 electrons
How many electrons fill up the second shell?
8 electrons
How many electrons fill up the third shell?
18 electrons
What does it mean when the last shell has filled up (8 electrons)?
chemically inert; noble gases
