Chem Flashcards
What is matter?
Anything that has mass and occupies space
What is an atom?
Building blocks
Name the three particles and which of the three have the same mass?
Protons, neutrons and electrons. Protons equal neutrons mass.
What does atomic number tell you?
The number of protons. Quantity of protons equal quantity of neutrons.
What is the atomic mass?
Protons plus neutrons
What are the three states of matter?
Gas, solid liquid
Describe how the molecules are packed in the three states of matter
Gases are densely packed. Liquids are loosely. Gas is not packed.
Which of the three states of matter is easily compressible
Gas
What are the two branches of matter?
Pure substance
Mixture
What are the two branches of matter?
Pure substance
Mixture
What are the two branches of a pure substance?
Element
Compound
What is a compound?
Two or more elements
What are the two branches of mixture?
Homogenous
Heterogenous
Give me an example of homogenous mixture
Apple juice equal uniform composition throughout the entire solution
Give me an example of a heterogeneous mixture
Dirt, you can see the different contents within it for example rocks, worms, compost etc.
Deposition
Gas to solid
Sublimation
Solid to gas, for example dry ice
Physical change
No change in identity or composition simply just a different state or appearance. for example, ice water steam
Chemical change
Altered composition into a different substance for example iron turning into rust. Turning into ash.
Four points in the atomic theory
- Elements are made out of indestructible atoms
- Each element has distinguishable mass and individual property.
- Atoms combine to form a compound.
- Element cannot change into another element. a chemical change is one the elements changed the way they are bonded to one another, thus the elements remain the same
Who developed the atomic the
John Dalton
What holds protons and neutrons together?
Nuclear forces within the nucleus
How are the electrons bonded to the nucleus?
Electromagnetic force, AKA opposites attract
