Chemistry Final Flashcards
Mass
is just the amount of matter
Volume
is how much space it takes up.
Atom
is the smallest whole particle which we call elements.
Compound
is atoms bonded together to make molecules.
extensive properties
depend on how much stuff there is
intensive properties
do not depend on how much stuff there is
physical properties
can be seen without changing what the chemical is made from or changing of the chemical bonds
chemical property
can be seen only by changing what the chemical is made from or changing the chemical bonds
reactants
what you start with before a chemical reaction
mixtures
two or more substances blended together, but are not reacting together
products
what you have after all the reactants react
groups
down in columns
periods
rows
base units
mass, length, temperature: usual units from measurement
derived units
density, molar mass, area, volume: units from calculation we will do many of these
accurate
you are closer to the actual value
precise
that all of your attempts are grouped close together or that there are more decimal places to the measurement
directly proportional
when divided they give a constant value
undirectly proportional
when multiplied they give a constant value
nucular forces
Forces that hold the similarly charged particles in the nucleus
atomic #
of protons in nucleus
average atomic mass
average weighted mass of its natural isotopes
isotopes
differ for the same element from the number of neutrons present in the nucleus
