Chemistry Flashcards
Qualitative property
a substance that isn’t measured and does not have numerical value.
Colour, odour & texture
Quantitative property
a substance measured through numerical value, height and mass.
What is matter?
is anything that has mass and takes up space
What are some examples of matter?
anything that takes up space
ex. air, rocks, water
What are some examples of things that aren’t matter?
Light, Time, Sound & Gravity
What is the particle theory?
- All matter is made up of tiny particles separated by empty space
- Different substances are made of different particles
- All particles are in constant motion
- Particles in a substance move faster as temperature increases
- Particles attract each other
What is a pure substance?
Substances that are made up of only one kind of particle and have a fixed or constant structure.
What is a solution?
a uniform mixture of two or
more substances
(looks like a pure substance but it contains more than one type
of particle. clear apple juice)
What is a heterogenous mixture?
two or more substances that are physically combined and could be seperated by physically means visible differences
cereal + milk
pizza + toppings
What is a homogenous mixture?
mix of 2 or more pure substances that mix well together where it dissolves within eachother
ex. sugar + water
What are examples of a pure substance?
Tin, Sulfur, Diamond, Water, Sucrose (sugar), sodium chloride (salt), and baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)
What are examples of a solution?
Salt water, Sugar water, Mouthwash, Soda, Air, Acetone, Coffee, Lemonade, and Tea.
What are examples of heterogenous mixtures?
Hot Chocolate, Sand in water, toothpaste, mixed nuts, trail mix, pizza, etc.
What are examples of homogenous mixtures?
Air, Sugar water, Rainwater, Vinegar, Coffee, Detergent, Cologne, etc.
What is ductility?
A physical property of a material that describes its ability to be stretched, pulled, or drawn into a thin wire or thread without breaking.
What is luster?
How a mineral’s surface reflects light and how the interior of the material may refract/reflect or bend light.
What is density?
The measurement of how tightly a material is packed together.
What is flammability?
A measurement of how quickly a specific material is capable of catching fire and burning.
What is malleability?
The quality of something that can be shaped into something else without breaking
What is combustibility?
A measurement of how easily a substance bursts into flame, through fire, or explosion.
What is reactivity?
The ability of a substance to interact chemically with a second substance.
What is odour?
The smell of a substance
What is texture?
The feel, appearance or consistency of a surface or substance.
What is sollubility?
The ability to be dissolved
What is boiling point?
When water (any liquid) reaches over 100 degrees celsius.
CREATES GAS * WATER VAPOUR
What are examples of qualitative properties?
Hardness, Malleability, Electrical Conductivity, Sight, Taste, Smell, Touch.
What are examples of quantitative properties?
Temperature, Height, Mass, Volume, Density
What is a mixture?
A substance made from composing two or more substances together.
What are the similarities of Pure substances & Mixtures?
They are both matter and composed of Atoms, They also have weight, volume, and color
What are the similarties between Homogenous and Heterogenous?
Both are mixtures
