CHEM111 PRELIM REVIEWER Flashcards
field of study concerned with the characteristics, composition, and transformations of matter
chemistry
Icludes all things, both living and nonliving.
matter
2 types of property
physical , chemical
characteristics that can be observed without changing the basic identity of the substance
physical property
Color, odor, physical state, melting/boiling point, hardness
physical property
describes the way the substance undergoes or resists change to form a new substance
chemical property
changes its physical appearance but not is chemical composition
physical change
substance undergoes a change in chemical composition. It always involve conversion of the material under consideration into one or more new substances.
chemical change
composition of a substance does not change
physical
properties observable without changing composition
physical properties
changes observable without changing composition
physical change
changes in color, shape , solid, liquid, gas, boiling point, melting point
physical properties
melting, boiling, freezing
physical change
changes in state of subdivision with no change in state
physical change
properties that describe how a substance changes or resist change to form a new substance
chemical properties
flammability
chemical properties
decomposition, reaction to chlorine
chemical properties
changes in which one or more new substance are formed
chemical change
2 classes of matter
pure substance, mixtures
2 sub of pure substances
elements and compounds
2 types of mixtures
homo heterogenous
2 chemical composition as a_______
pure substance, mixture
CC single kind of matter that cannot be separated into other kinds of matter by any physical means
Pure Substance
CC physical combination of two or more pure substances in which each substance retains its own chemical identity
Mixture
CC components can be separated using physical means
mixture
mixture that contains visible different phases (parts), each of which has different property
hetero
contains only one visibly distinct phase
homo
pure substance that cannot be broken down into simpler pure substances by chemical means
element
pure substance that can broken down into two or more simpler pure substances by chemical means
compound
how many known elements in the PT
117
smallest particle of an element that can exist and still have the properties of the element
atom
rarely encountered in nature
free atoms
a group of two or more atoms that functions a unit because the atoms are tightly bound together
molecule
molecule that contains two atoms
diatomic molecule
`molecule that contains 3 atoms
triatomic molecule
molecule in which all atoms present are of the same kind.
e.g H2
homoatomic molecule
molecule in which two or more kinds of atoms are present.
H20
heteroatomic molecule
molecules made of atoms from different elements
compound
atoms connected by chemical bond
molecules
T/F
ALL COMPOUNDS ARE MOLECULES, BUT NOT ALL MOLECULES ARE COMPOUNDS
TRUE
notation made up of the chemical symbols of the elements present in a compound and numerical subscripts (located to the right of each chemical symbol) that indicate the number of atoms of each element present in a molecule of the compound.
CHEMICAL FORMULA
determination of the dimensions, capacity, quantity, or extent of something
MEASUREMENT
two systems of measurement that is used commonly
the English system of units and the metric system of units
inch, foot, pound, quart, and gallon
English
gram, meter, and liter
Metric
1 m is equivalent to —yards
1.09 yards
28 g =
1 ounce
454 g=
1 pound
1 L is equivalent to
1,06 quarts
T/F
Measurements will always have a degree of uncertainty or error
T
in a measurement that are known with certainty plus one digit that is estimated
SIGNIFICANT FIGURES
Number of significant figures = all certain digits + one estimated digit
YES
