Chemistry Flashcards
Aristotle
Said, “No.” Said everything was made of 4elements. ~400BC VS Democritus
Dalton
Said elements each their own unique atoms. “Compounds= combos of different atoms. Stupid symbol guy.
1766-1844 VS Berzelius
Berzelius
Uses Latin for elements. 1779-1848 VS Dalton
Why Latin?
Language of learning. 1st letter=uppercase, 2nd=lower if necisarry
Metals are
Shiny, malleable, ductile, conductors of heat+energy
Non metals are
The opposite of metals
Periodic law states
Many of the physical and chemical properties of elements.
Why is it called the periodic table?
Observations would repeat.
Patterns in elements
Democritus
1st to say matter is made of tiny particles. Broke it down to atom level.
400BC VS Aristotle
Solids
Mass: constant
Volume: constant
Shape: constant
Liquid
Mass: constant
Volume: constant
Shape: changes to container
Gas
Mass: constant
Volume: changes
Shape: changes to container
All matter is
Made of small particles in constant motion
Between the particles there is
Empty space. The space and particles are too small to be seen
In solids
Particles are locked in a crystal structure and can only vibrate.
In liquids
Particles are further apart and flow/move quicker than solids
In gases
Particles are far apart and move quickly
Heat/energy makes particles
Move faster
KMT
Kinetic Molecule Theory
Moving
Two types of matter
Pure substances and mixtures
Two types of pure substances
Elements and compounds
Three types of mixtures
Mechanical, solution and suspension
Homogeneous
The same/ evenly mixed together. Liquids and/or gases
Heterogeneous
Different/ not in uniform. Distinguishable
Example of a pure substance
Oxygen or carbon
