Chemistry 10 review Flashcards
Matter
anything that has mass and volume
Pure substances
cannot be broken down into any other substances
Compounds
combination of 2 or more elements
elements
composed of only one type of atom
Mixture
combination of 2 or more compounds
Heterogeneous mixtures
contains 2 or more substances with VISIBLE parts
Colloid
cannot be easily separated, cloudy mixture. LIQUID IN LIQUID
ex: milk
Suspension
can be easily separated. SOLID IN LIQUID
ex: mud (water+soil)
Mechanical mixture
different substances are visible
ex: salad
Homogenous mixture (solution)
all substances are uniform throughout and there’s no distinctive visible parts. Appears to be 1
Properties
characteristics used to describe a substance
Physical properties
observable physical characteristics of a substance.
ex: boiling/melting points, conductivity, malleability, ductility, state, solubility, melting/freezing point
Chemical properties
how a substance reacts with other substances
ex: reaction with acid/water/air/heat, litmus paper, ability to burn, temperature to ignite a flame (flash point)
Chemical change
new substances are formed after chemical reactions. Chemical components CHANGE
ex: change in temperature, precipitate, light, odour, colour
Chemical reactions
one or more substance react to form new substance(s)
Indicators of chemical change
energy flow, formation of gas, precipitate, formation of new substances w/ different properties
Atom
smallest part of an element. NEUTRAL. has protons, neutrons, electrons.
ex: oxygen atom
Subatomic particles
particles that make up an atom. PROTONS, NEUTRONS, ELECTRONS
Protons
(+) charged particles, atomic number, found in nucleus, heavy, never change
Neutrons
no charge, belongs to nucleus, heavy, can change (isotope)
Electrons
(-) charge particles, no mass, found in electron cloud/energy levels, can change (ion)
Nucleons
Particles found in the nucleus: protons and neutrons
Metals
elements on the left side of staircase, cations, (+) charge, give away electrons
Metal properties
Ductile, malleable, conductive, shiny, hard, reactive
Malleable
ability to be rolled into sheets
Ductile
ability to be stretched into wires
Non metals
elements on the right side of staircase, (-) charge, anions, receive electrons
ex: O-oxygen
Non metal properties
Non-magnetic, brittle, not shiny, poor conductors, non-malleable, low melting/boiling points
Inert
Substances that are chemically unreactive
ex: noble gases
Metalloid
Group 13-16 along staircase, have properties between metals and non-metals, semi-conductors
Period
horizontal rows, indicates number of energy levels
ex: Na - period 2 —> 2 energy levels
Group/Family
vertical columns, elements in each group have same number of valence electrons, similar properties,
Group 1
ALKALI METALS. highly reactive, conductive, soluble, 1 valence electron, shiny, silvery, charge of +1, low melting/boiling points
Group 2
ALKALINE EARTH METALS. less reactive, 2 valence electrons, silvery white, soluble, low melting/boiling points
Group 3-12
TRANSITION METALS. conductive, high melting/boiling points, malleable, ductile, high densities
Group 13-16
METALLOIDS. properties between metals and non-metals, poor conductors, solid, metallic lustre
Group 17
HALOGENS. 7 valence electrons, highly reactive
Group 18
NOBLE GASES. non-reactive, full valence shell, odourless, colourless, non-flammable
Energy levels
orbitals occupied by electrons
CLOSEST to nucleus- LOWEST ENERGY
FURTHER away- HIGHER energy
Valence shell
outermost shell. determine an atom’s reactivity
Atomic number
of PROTONS, ELECTRONS
Atomic mass
average mass of an atom, PROTONS + NEUTRONS
Isotopes
the same element with a different number of neutrons resulting the MASS CHANGE, same chemically
Ionization
the process of gaining/losing electrons
Ion
when an atom gains or loses its electron(s), has an electrical charge
Cation
metals, + charge, loses electrons
Anion
non-metals, - charge, gains electrons
