Chem unit test Flashcards
What is chemistry about
is all about making things better
ex. aspirin makes pain go away
What does cooking create
chemical changes in the interactions of heat, sugar and proteins in foods
- heating/freezing - salting - fermentation
Metallurgy
study of physical and chemical properties of metal
alchemy
- combination of science and magic
- no scientific method used
Who developed hypotheses about matter
Aristotle and the Democritus
Aristotle
- Believed that all matter was composed of combinations of elements (earth, fire, water, air)
- very well known so everyone believed him
Democritus
- all matter was made up of tiny particles that could not be divided into smaller pieces (indivisible atomos)
- not many people believed him even though he was correct
3 subatomic particles
protons have a positive charge
neutrons have no charge
electrons have a negative charge
what are found in the nucleus of an atom
protons and neutrons
what is the mass number
The sum of protons and neutrons
Isotopes
isotopes of atoms have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.
EX- most hydrogen atoms have 1 proton but zero neutrons.
-1/100000 hydrogen atoms have 1 proton
and 1 neutron
-Each isotope has a different mass number (#of P + #of N)
Atomic Theory
- smallest part of an element that still has all the properties of that element
- protons and neutrons are 99.9% of the mass of an atom
- most of the atom is empty space
Atomic number
refers to the number of protons
-all atoms of the same element have the same amount of protons
Energy levels of energy
- like the bohr diagram
- electrons closest to the neutrons are held tightly and have little energy
- outer electrons are easier to let go of (lots of energy so can easily escape)
ion
atom that has lost or gained an electron
- becomes electrically charged
- ionization happens because an unfilled shell is unstable
cations
- positively charged ions
- formed when an atom losses an electrons
- metals
anions
- negatively charged ions
- formed when an atoms gains an electron
- non metals
Ionic compounds
a non metal + a metal
smallest to largest :compound, atom, element
atom, element, compound
Example of Ions
Sodium (Na) and Chlorine (Cl)
- sodium will give up an electrons and give it to chlorine
- Will name NaCl (sodium chloride)
- metal name first, then non-metal name, then ide at end
Metals
- shinny
- grey/silver
- good conductors of electricity
- malleable (ability to be shaped)
- ductile (ability to be stretched)
- most are solid at room temp (except mercury L)
- some react strongly with others
- some are inert do not react with anything except strong acids (ex.gold)
Inert
inactive
ex- argon-argos (lazy)
Alloy
mixture/combination of two or more metals
Non-metals
- 17 of the elements
- 11 gases, 5 solids, 1 liquid
- not reactive
- cannot conduct energy
Metalloids
- have properties that resemble both metals and non-metals.
- Can conduct energy but not well
Horizontal rows (on periodic table)
periods (1-17)
Vertical rows (on periodic table)
families or groups (1-18)
Group #1 (on periodic table)
Alkali Metals
- lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, francium
- soft, skinny, silver, in colour
- very reactive with water
- 1+ charge cations
