Chemistry Intro Flashcards
Define Chemistry
The science that deals with the materials of the universe and the changed that these materials undergo
Define states of matter
anything with mass that occupies space
State the 3 states of matter
Solid/ liquid/ gas
Describe an atom
smallest particle of a chemical element made of 3 parts
Proton and Neutron- Nucleus
Electron- flys around the nucleus
Define mass number
Approximately equivalent to the number of protons and neutrons in the atom
Define molecule
when two atoms join together
Compound
a molecule with at least 2 different atoms that are chemically bonded
Compound examples
Sucrose- table sugar/ Gluten/
What are the common chemicals found in the body
Nitrogen, Phosperous, Calicum, Carbon, Oxygen, Hyrdrogen
Physical change
states of matter and energy
no new substance is created during a physical change matter takes a different form
reversible eg melting ice,
can be irreversible- cutting hair
- no change in atoms rearrangement just change i neighbor interaction
Equation that represents a bicarbonate buffer
CO2 + H2O– H2Co3—H + HCO3
Chemical changes in chemistry
irreversible, rearrangement of atoms, change in chemical prosperities, formation of new substance
Describe the structure of a atom
Proton and Neutron within the nucleus
Electron on the outside
Atomic mass/ Mass number
The number of protons and neutons in an atom
Isotope definition
equal number of protons but different number of neutrons in the nuclei
