Chem Test - Fill In The Blank Flashcards
Name the groups (alkali metals, halogens, etc.) - what are their trends?
Classification of Matter
Mechanical/Heterogeneous: different parts are visible (pizza)
Solution/Homogeneous: looks the same throughout
Element: 1 atom, cannot be broken down
Compound: 2+ atoms, can be broken down
Types of equations (word, balanced, skeletal)
Word: chemical equation writing in words (magnesium + oxygen gas —> magnesium oxide)
Skeletal: chemical formulas of all the reactants and products (Mg + O2 —> MgO)
Balanced: ensures the law of conservation of mass is true. Big # infront is added so the same # of each type of element is on both sides of the equation (2Mg + O^2 —> 2MgO)
Components of a Chemical Equation
Reactants —> (yield) products
Location of Subatomic Particles
Protons & Neutrons: inside nucleus
Electrons: outside nucleus (shells)
7 Diatomic Gases
H, Br, I, N, Cl, O, F
