Chemistry Review - Quiz 3 Flashcards
What is Chemistry
Study of matter and its changes
What is Matter?
Anything that has mass and occupies space
What are Atoms?
Building block of matter.
Made of Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons
Protons
Positive Charge
Atomic # = # of Protons
Neutrons
Neutral Charge
1 amu
Electrons
Negative Charge
Ions
Atoms/groups of atoms bonded together with a net charge
Cations: +
Anions: -
What are compounds
More than one kind of atom in a fixed ratio by mass
Molecules
Groups of atoms bonded together by covalent bonds
Neutral Charge
Ionic Compounds
Has both + and - charged ions
Attracted by charge and are not molecules
Physical Change
No change in chemical makeup
EX: melting ice
Chemical Change
Always makes a chemically different substance
Ex: 2H2O –> 2H2 + O2
Physical Property
When you look at it and say what it is
Intensive: Color
Extensive: Size (Volume)
What are substances?
Pure materials that can’t be physically separated into simpler components
Chemical and Physical properties are uniform
Compound or Element
Mixtures
2 or More Pure Substaances
- Can separate mixture into simpler substances
Homogenous
Uniform in physical and chemical properties
EX: Normal saline
Heterogenous
Distinct phase boundaries where chemical and/or physical properties change
Ex: Vomit
Where are protons and neutrons located?
Nucleus
Where are electrons located
Around the nucleus in cloud-like orbitals
What has wave-like properties rather than geometric properties?
Atomic Structures
All atoms have neutrons except for ?
Hydrogen
What determines the atom’s identity?
The Atomic Number = # of Protons
How do you get the Mass Number?
Neutrons + Atomic Number
What are isotopes?
Same Atomic Number, Different Mass Number
(diff # of neutrons)
What is Periodic Law
Properties of elements are periodic fxns of their atomic #
On periodic table, what are the verticle columns?
Groups/Families
Have similar chemical and physical properties
On the Periodic table, what are the rows
Periods
Adding e- to energy levels, e- shells
Element at the end of a period has a full e- shell
Anions
Nearly full e- shell –> accepts e-
Cation
Nearly empty e- shell –> release e-
Metals
Mostly on Left Side
Shiny, Ductile, Malleable, Good electric conductors
React to form Cations
Non Metals
Mostly on the Right
Liquids, Solids, Gases
Solids are Brittle
Don’t Conduct
Forms Anions
What is an electrolyte?
Substance that dissolves in water to give a solution conductivity
When does Dissolution happen?
When water interacts effetively with ions
Aluminum (Al)
Silvery, White
Low Density
Unnatural/Made
Found in Deodorant
Avoid in Dialysis - body cant eliminate fast
Barium (Ba)
Opaque to Xrays
Does not Absorb in GI
Toxic, but excreted easily
Bromium
Highly Toxic, naturally occuring liquid
Calcium (Ca)
Silvery White
Not natural in nature in elemental form
Muscle contraction, Bone stability
Found in Antacids, Phosphate Binders
Very Constipating –> Magnesium help eliminate
Carbon
Graphite & Diamond occur naturally
Activated Charcoal
Highly Versatile
Chlorine (Cl)
Toxic Green Gas
Disinfectant
EX: Clorox

Nitrogen (N)
No Color
No Smell
Nitrous Oxide (N2O)
Oxygen (O)
Reactive Gas
Tends to accept electrons for ATP synthesis
Phosphorus (P)
Found in RNA & ATP
Low Phos = Brittle bones & Respiratory Failure
(starvation: insulin picks up glucose with K, Phos, & Mg)
Supplemented in salt forms with K & Na
