Chemistry Flashcards
Element
A pure substance that cannot be broken down
Compound
A substance that contains two or more different elements
Mechanical mixutre
A mixture in which the substance is distinguishable from each other
Solution
A mixture of 2 or more substances but looks like a pure substance
Qualitative substance
A description of an object, it attributes
Quantitative
A descriptions providing numbers
Physical property
a substance that can be found without changing the form
Chemical property
Characteristics of a substance that are determined when the form is changed
Solids characteristics
The particles have forces of atttaction strong enough to hold them together
Liquid characteristics
The particles are still close however they can slide past each other
Gas characteristics
Particles are very far apart
Dalton
-proposed that all matter is made of tiny particles
- atoms of an element are the same
-atoms of a diff element are diff
-atoms are switched to form new substances
Rutherford
- center of an atom have positive charge (nuculus)
-it’s surrounded by a negative electrons cloud - most atoms are empty
Bhor
- drawing that shows the numbers and locations of protons neutrons and electrons
Non-metals
An element that does not conducts heat or electricity
