Chem Review- Emily Flashcards
Chemistry
the study of matter and it’s changes
Matter
anything that has mass and occupies space
Atoms
building blocks of matter= protons, neutrons, electrons
Protons: charge, mass?
Positive + charge Mass= 1 atomic mass unit (amu) # protons= Atomic # (Z)
Neutrons: charge, mass?
Neutral charge
Mass= 1 atomic mass unit (amu)
Electrons: charge, mass?
Negative - charge
Mass irrelevant
An element always has an ____ number of ____ and ____ to maintain stability
neutrons can differ
equal # protons+ and electrons -
( + = - )
Ions
atoms/groups of atoms bonded together with a net charge
Cations
positive + charge
Anions
negative - charge
Elements
only 1 type of atom
example: just Na, K, oxygen
Compounds
bonding more than 1 kind of atom in a fixed ratio by mass
Molecules: definition, charge?
grouping of atoms bonded together with a neutral charge
Ionic compounds
grouping of different elements that has a net charge at the end of the grouping
are not molecules
How do you tell the weight of an atom?
Add protons and neutrons together
What is an isotope?
Element with different # neutrons
example: carbon 13- has a different weight because has 1 more neutron
Can a substance be both an element and a molecule?
Yes
example: O2 molecule has a neutral charge, but is just oxygen
Physical change
no change in chemical makeup, just changes it’s physical state (solid, liquid, gas)
Chemical change?
change in weight?
changes chemically into different substance (same parts rearranged, no change in weight)
example: breaking H20 into 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen
Physical property
describes the substance seen (without changing chemical makeup)
can be intensive or extensive
Intensive physical property
something integral to the material, regardless of amount
example: color
Extensive physical property
depends on size
example: volume
Chemical property
describes type of chemical changes the material can undergo
example: flammable
Example of property/change:
boiling water to steam?
physical change
Example of property/change:
liquid?
intensive physical property
Example of property/change:
mass?
extensive physical property
Substances?
chemical and physical properties?
What are they?
- pure materials that can’t be physically separated into smaller simpler components
- chemical and physical properties are uniform
- compounds or elements
Mixture?
2 types?
2+ pure substances
Homogenous- uniform physical and chemical properties throughout
(ex: normal saline)
Heterogeneous- distinct phase boundaries and/or physical properties change
(ex: emesis)
Atomic structure:
what is in the nucleus?
what surrounds the nucleus in orbitals?
Nucleus= protons+ and neutrons
Orbit= electrons -
Atomic number =?
(Z)= # protons
Neutron Number?
N= number of neutrons
