chem final Flashcards
density
the quantity per unit volume, area, or length. mass over volume
metric system
weights and measures in which the meter is the unit of length and kilogram is weight
scientific notation
a way of writing large or small numbers
hypothesis
a guess on what will happen
theory
principles of explaination or proposed explanation that needs experimentation
chemical
any compound with a defined comp
matter
a physical substance that occupies space
atom
a particle of matter that defines a element
compound
a thing that is composed of two separate elements
physical prop
characteristic of matter 5 senses
chemical prop
any of a materials properties that become evident in reactions
reactants
a substance that takes part in and undergoes change during reaction
products
the substance created in a reaction
metals
malleable ductile good conductors of electricity and heat sea of electrons
isotope
two or more forms of the same element which. obtain equal numbers of protons but different neutrons
atomic mass
weight of an atom
mole
unit of meshring substance containing atoms molecules or ions 6.022x1023
photons
a particle represent a quantum light or other electrons radiation
electron configuration
the distribution of electrons of an atom or molecule in atomic or molecular orbitals
aufbau
noble gas configuration
consists of the element symbol of the last noble gas prior to that atom follow by the remaining configuration used as a way to shorten the configuration
val e-
electrons on outermost occupied energy level
cation
metals
lose electrons become positive
anion
gain electrons become negative
non metal
electro negativity
chemical property that described the tendency of an atom to attract electrons
ionization energy
a measure of the capability of an element to enter chemical reactions
covalent bond
shared electrons
nm&nm
ionic bond
transfer e
nm & m
polar
different electronegativitys share electrons unevenly
nonpolar
same atom shares e equally
tetrahedral
4 covalent bonds
0 lone pairs
109.5 angle
trigonometry pyramidal
one lone pair
three covalent bonds
107 angle
linear
2 atoms no line pair
trigonal planar
no lone pairs
three covalent bonds
120 angles
bent
2 covalent bonds
2 lone pairs
105 angle
h bond
2 polar molecules bond w H-NOF
LDF
induced dipole
constant motion of electrons cause momentary bonding
dipole interactions
between 2 polar molecules without H-NOF
combustion
has O2, H2O, and CO2 always
synthesis
A+B= AB
decomp
AB= A+B
double displacement
AB+CD=AD+CB
single displacement
AB+C= AC+B
