Chemistry Quarter 1 Exam Review Flashcards
system of measurement primarily used in science
metric system
unit of time in metric system
seconds
the purpose of scientific notation
makes large numbers more manageable
REVIEW SECTION 1.3 for SIG FIG RULES
REVIEW METRIC PREFIXES (pg. 7)
what is matter?
anything that has mass and occupies space
four states of matter
solid
liquid
gas
plasma
smallest individual particle
atom
smallest individual part of a compound
molecule
cannot be broken down further chemically
element
KNOW ELEMENTS AND SYMBOLS (pg. 19)
homogenous mixture vs. heterogenous mixture
homogenous is all uniform in color
heterogenous has phases of color; not uniform
a homogenous mixture is also known as a
solution
atomic theory–
- every element consists of tiny, indivisible, indestructible particles called atoms (FALSE; atoms are destructible)
- all of the atoms of a particular element have the same size, mass, and chemical behavior (FALSE; atoms vary slightly in mass)
- differences in properties of elements result from differences in the atoms of the elements
- the atoms of the elements combined in a compound are combined in a definite ratio
- a chemical reaction is the result of rearrangement, combination, or separation of atoms
states that the ratios of the masses of each element in a given compound are always the same
law of definite composition
states that when two elements can combine to form more than one compound, the masses of one element that combine with a fixed amount of the other element are in a ratio of small whole numbers
law of multiple proportions
properties determined by reactions, flammability, acidity
chemical properties
properties determined by looking; color, state of matter, mass
physical properties
proposed the hard-sphere model of the atom (1)
Dalton
proposed the plum-pudding model of the atom (2)
Thompson
proposed the planetary model of the atom (3)
Rutherford
when atoms of the same element differ in number of neutrons
isotopes
the comparison of protons to electrons; the imbalance of protons to electrons
ions
positively charged ion
cation (excess of protons)
negatively charged ion
anion (excess of electrons)
KNOW HOW TO MATHEMATICALLY FIND # OF PROTONS, ELECTRONS, AND NEUTRONS
the number of protons
atomic number (Z)
the sum of the number of protons (Z) and neutrons (N)
mass number (A)
mass number equation
A = Z + N
neutron equation
N = A - Z
the # of electrons is determined by the
of protons and the -+ symbol of element
means to measure elements
stoichiometry
a molecular compound consists of
two nonmetals
ionic compounds consist of
at least 1 metal and 1 nonmetal
KNOW IONIC COMPOUNDS (pg. 40)
BE ABLE TO CALCULATE MOLAR MASS AND MOLECULAR MASS
same procedure for both– add all the atomic masses of elements
Avogadro’s number
6.022 x 10^23
a mole of anything
the link between the micro and macro
