Chapter 2 - Components Of Matter Flashcards
Pure substances
Matter whose composition is fixed
Element
Simplest type of matter with unique physical and chemical properties.
Compound
Matter composed of two or more elements
Mixture
Two or more substances
Law of Mass conservation
The total mass does not change during a chemical reaction
Law of definite composition
No matter the source, a particular compound is composed os the same elements i. The same parts by mass.
Law of multiple proportions
If A & B react to compound AB, the different masses of B that combined with a fixed of A can be expressed as a small ratio of small whole numbers.
Atoms postulates
- Can not be created nor destroyed.
- Can not be converted into another atom.
- It has a fixed mass
Robert Millikan discovered:
Measured the charge of the electron by the Cathode Ray experiment.
Ernest Rutherford discovered:
Proposed that atoms are tiny, massive, positive nucleus surrounded by atoms.
J.J. Thompson discovered:
Measured an atom mass/charge
Ionic compound
Donates electrons
Covalent compounds
Share electrons
Binary Ionic Compound
Composed of two elements
Metals
- 3/4 of elements are metals
- shiny solids at room temp.
Nonmetals
Generally gasses or brittle solids at room temp
