Chemistry Chapter 1 "Atoms: The Building Blocks of Matter" Flashcards
Chemical
Is any substance that has a define composition.
Chemistry
Is the study of the composition, structure, and pr9operties of matter and the changes it undergoies.
Atom
Is the smallest unit of an element that maintains the properties of that element.
Change of State
Is a physical chanage of a substance from one state to another.
Chemical Change
A chanage in which one or more substances are converted into different substances.
Chemical Property
Relates to a substance’s ability t0 undergo changes that transform it into different substances.
Chemical Reaction
A change in which one or more substances are converted into different substances.
Compound
Is a substance that is made from atoms of two or more elements that are chemically bonded.
Element
Is a pure substance made of only one kind of atom.
Extensive Property
Depend on the amount of matter that is present.
Gas
Matter in the gas state has neither definite volume nor definite shape.
Heterogeneous
Mixtures are not uniform throughout.
Homogeneous
Uniform in composition
Intensive property
Do not depend on the amount of matter present.
Liquid
Matter in the liquid state has a definite volumen but an idefinite shape.
Mass
Is a measure of the amount of matter
Matter
Anything that has mass and takes up space.
Mixture
Is a blend of two or more kinds of matter, each of which retains its own identity and properties.
Physical Change
A change in a substance that does not involve a change in the identity of the substance.
Physical Properties
Is a chanage that can be observed or measured without changin the identity of the substance.
Plasma
Is a high-temperature physical state of matter in which atoms lose their electrons.
Product
The substance that are formed by the chemical change.
Pure Substance
Has a fixed composition and differs from mixture
Reactant
The substance that react in a chemical change.
Solid
Matter in the solid state has definite volumen and definite shape.
Solution
Homogeneous mixtures are called solutions.
Family
The vertical columns of the periodic table are called groups or families.
Group
The vertical columns of the periodic table are called groups or families.
Metal
Is an element that is a good conductor of heat and electricity.
Metalloid
Is an element that has some characteristic of metals and some characteristics of no metals.
Period
The horizontal rows of elements in the periodic table.
Nonmetal
Is an element that is a poor conductor of heat and electricity.
