Chapter One Flashcards
Pure Substance
Fixed ratio of atoms. Cannot be decomposed (elements, molecules, ionic compounds)
Mixtures
No fixed ratio. Combination of pure substances, unfixed proportions. Can be separated (Homogenous, heterogenous)
Elements
Pure substance, 1 type of atom
Molecules
Non-metal atoms (H20, CH4)
Ionic compounds
Metal & non-metal (NaCl) Pure substance
Homogeneous mixtures
Uniform appearance (gas, sugar water, air)
Heterogeneous mixture
If sample two places, different ratios (oil & water, pizza)
Physical properties
Can be measured/observed without changing anything (shape, color, smell, boiling point)
Chemical properties
A chemical change must occur
Physical changes
Only changes physical properties, not chemical composition (melting, boiling, cutting)
Chemical changes
Old substance destroyed, new substance formed (cooking, burning, rusting)
Extensive property
Depends on how much matter is being considered (mass, volume)
Intensive property
Does not depend on how much matter is being considered (density, temperature)
Multiplying Sig Figs
Use smallest number
Adding/Subtracting Sig Figs
Smallest decimal place
