Chemistry I Flashcards
Gas
No fixed volume or shape
Conforms to the volume and shape of its container
Compressible
Liquid
Has a fixed volume but no fixed shape
Conforms to the shape of its container
Solid
Has a fixed volume and shape
Elements
substances that can NOT be decomposed into simpler substances by chemical means
Compounds
composed of two or more elements can be decomposed by chemical means
Diatomic Molecules
Elements which exist naturally as a combination of two atoms
ex.) H2, N2, O2, F2, Cl2, Br2, I2

Compounds
combination of two or more elements
Intensive Properties
characteristics of substances whose values do NOT depend on the amount of material chosen
Extensive Properties
characteristics of substances whose values DO depend on the amount of material chosen
Mixtures
combination of two or more substances in which each substance retains its own chemical identity and properties
ex.) homogenous mixtures, heterogenous mixtures
Methods of Separating Mixtures
Filtration, Distillation, chromatography
Volume
1ml= 1cc= 1cm^3
Density
mass/volume
Precision
measure of how closely individual measurements agree with one another
Accuracy
how closely individuals measurements agree with the correct or “true” value
