chemistry 7 and 8 Flashcards
involves using relationships between reactants and or products in a chemical reaction to determine desired quantitative data
stoichiometry
the use of balanced chemical equations in the conversion process
stoichiometry
means element
stoikhein
metron means
measure
stoichiometry literally translated means _
the measure of elements
how chemists measure the amount of substance
mole
a mole of a substance contains _ representative particles
6.02x10^23
is the SI unit for amount of substance
mole
the number 6.02x10^23 is called_
Avogadro’s number
italian physicist and lawyer who helped clarify the difference between atoms and molecules
Amadeo Avogadro di Quaregna
refer to the species present in a particular substance
representative particles
can be atoms, molecules, ions, or formula units
representative particles
seven elements that exist as diatomic molecules
H2, N2, O2, F2, Cl2, Br2, I2
used for compounds that are made up of ions and have primarily ionic bonding
formula mass
known as molar mass is used for compounds that are composed of molecules and have primarily covalent bonding
molecular mass
a substance which is made up of two or more atoms joined together by a chemical bond
compound
two classification of compounds
ionic compound and covalent compound
formed between a metal atom and a non metal atom and the type of intramolecular bond exist between atoms is ionic bond
ionic compound
formed between two or more nonmetal atoms and type of intramolecular bond that exist between atoms is covalent bond
covalent compound
total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom
mass number
sum of all mass numbers of the atoms that make up the compound
formula mass
very important in determining the formula mass of a certain compound
mass number
the symbol u means
unified mass number unit or unified atomic mass unit
unit that is used in all formula units
the symbol u
involves a lot of calculations and formulas
chemistry
is the lowest whole numbered ratio of the elements in a compound
empirical formula
is the actual composition of a compound indicating the number of atoms per element
molecular formula
