Chem unit 4 Flashcards
Si base units
Time: second Amt. of Substance:Mole Length:meter Mass: kilogram Electric Current:Amphere Luminous intensity: candela Temperature: Kelvin
Derived SI units: combo of base units
Volume: m3 Area: m2 Density: g/cm3 Molar mass: g/mol Concentration: mol/L
Accuracy:
right answer
Precision: not right answer, same answer alot
Significant Figures
more SF, more prescise
Scientific notation
exponent positive: right
negative: left
(number has to be smaller than 10)
SF rules
- non zero
- sanwhiched zeros
- trailing zeros if decimal is present
SF rules not SF
- not leading zero
- trailing zero w/no decimal
SF in equation
sub/add: keep everything b4 the decimal.
Multi/Division: least of total # of SF for all
Metric Units (weird)
T=tera 12 G=giga 9 M=mega 6 μ=micro -6 n=nano -9 p=pico -12
Metric Conversion

Radioactivity
unstable ratio of protons and neutrons, nuclei breaks down
Alpha particle
3rd
4/2 Helium
slow
Charge: 2+
Beta particle
2nd
electrons are emitted.
o/-1 e
β
Charge: -1
Gamma Ray
1st
photons (light)
Y
-accompany alpha&beta
Radioactive decay
occurs until stable nucleus is formed. alpha, beta, gamma. new elements form
