Chemistry [Introduction - Chemical Bonding] Flashcards
Chemistry
Branch of science that deals with the characterization, composition, transformations, and the energies involved in the matter
Matter
anything that occupies space and has mass
Mass
the amount of matter that an object contains
expressed in terms of kilogram
Properties of Matter
Intensive or Extensive
Physical or Chemical
Intensive Property
depend on the quality of the matter
Extensive Property
depend on the quantity of the matter
Physical Property
directly observed or measured by an instrument
Chemical Property
requires another substance to react to
Example of Intensive (10)
Volatility Viscosity Malleability Ductility Alkalinity Color odor Density Boiling Point Freezing Point
Example of Extensive (3)
Mass
Volume
Length
Examples of Physical Property (7)
Temperature Mass Color Volatility Viscosity Malleability Ductility
Examples of Chemical Property (3)
Combustibility
Acidity
Alkalinity
Classical Phases of Matter
Solid
Liquid
Gas
Solid
strong attractive force between particles of matter
definite volume and shape
Two types of Solid
Amorphous - without definite structure
Crystallize - with definite structure
Liquid
weak attractive force
definite volume and indefinite shape
flows in one direction
Gas
attractive force is almost inexistant
indefinite volume and shape
flows in random directions
Physical Change
Transformation from one phase to another
Molecules are not affected
Chemical Change
involves the formation of a new substance
Evidences of Chemical Change
Change in color of solution
Formation of a precipitate
Evolution of gas
Absorption or Evolution of heat
Classification of Matter
Matter : Pure Substance and Mixture
Pure substance: Elements and Compounds
Elements: nonmetals, metals, metalloids
Compound: ionic and covalent
Mixture: Homogeneous and Heterogeneous
Homogeneous: Solutions
Heterogeneous: Colloids and Suspensions
Pure Substance
Uniform Composition with distinct physical ad chemical properties
Elements
simplest substance
made up of only one type of atom
Compounds
made up of two or more different atoms combined in different proportions
