deck_8020633 Flashcards
<p>A branch of physical science that studies the composition, structure, properties and change of matter</p>
<p>Chemistry</p>
<p>Deals with chemical processes that occur in living organisms</p>
<p>Biochemistry</p>
<p>Works with fundamental principles of physics and chemistry</p>
<p>Physical Chemistry</p>
<p>Separation and identification of chemical substances</p>
<p>Analytical Chemistry</p>
<p>Focuses on substances that contain carbon and hydrogen in combination with a few other elements</p>
<p>Organic Chemistry</p>
<p>Focuses on most of the elements other than carbon</p>
<p>Inorganic Chemistry</p>
<p>Anything that occupies space (or has volume), displays a property known as mass, and possess inertia; can be a pure chemical substance or a mixture of substances</p>
<p>Matter</p>
<p>Refers to the parts or components of a sample of matter and their relative proportions</p>
<p>Composition</p>
<p>The qualities or attributes that can be used to distinguish one sample of matter from others</p>
<p>Properties</p>
<p>one that a sample of matter displays without changing its composition</p>
<p>Physical property</p>
<p>a physical property of a system that does not depend on the system size or the amount of material in the system</p>
<p>Intensive property (bulk property)/intrinsic property</p>
<p>one that is additive for <strong>independent, non-interacting subsystems</strong></p>
<p>Extensive property/extrinsic property</p>
<p>the ability (or inability) of a sample of matter to undergo a change in composition under stated conditions</p>
<p>Chemical property</p>
<p>a modern version of the metric system; a decimal system</p>
<p>SI = Système Internationale d’Unités (International System of Units)</p>
<p>Refers to how close a measured value is tothe accepted, or “real,” value</p>
<p>Accuracy</p>
<p>Refers to the degree of reproducibility of ameasured quantity</p>
<p>Precision</p>
<p>Not determined by chance but is introduced by an inaccuracy (as of observation ormeasurement) inherent in the system</p>
<p>Systematic Errors</p>
<p>Caused by inherently unpredictablefluctuations in the readings of a measurement apparatus or in the experimenter's interpretation of the instrumental reading</p>
<p>Random errors</p>
<p>describes the QUANTITY OF METTER in an object; SI unit, kilogram (kg)</p>
<p>Mass (𝒎)</p>
<p>the force of gravity on an object𝑊=𝑔×𝑚</p>
<p>Weight (𝑾)</p>
<p>those of length, mass, time, temperature, amount of substance, electric current, and luminous intensity (SI units)</p>
<p>Fundamental (base) quantities </p>
<p>combinations of certain of these fundamental quantities; e.g., velocity (m/s), volume (cm3 or cc or mL), density (g/mL)</p>
<p>Derived units</p>
<p>term applied to elements and compounds (whose composition and properties are uniform throughout a given sample and from one sample to another)</p>
<p>Substance</p>
<p>a substance made up of only a single type of atom distinguished by its atomic number, which is the number of protons in its atomic nucleus; divided into metals, metalloids, and nonmetals; 118 known chemical elements (as of 2010); 98 chemical elements occur naturally on earth</p>
<p>Element </p>
<p>the smallest constituent unit of ordinary matter that has the properties of a chemical element</p>
<p>Atom</p>
<p>substance in which atoms of different elements are combined with one another</p>
<p>Compound</p>
<p>the smallest entity having the same proportions of the constituent atoms as does the compound as a whole</p>
<p>Molecule</p>
<p>made of two or more types of substances</p>
<p>Mixtures</p>
<p>uniform in composition and properties throughout a given sample, but the composition and properties may vary from one sample to another</p>
<p>Solutions (homogeneous mixtures)</p>
<p>whose components separate into distinct regions; the composition and physical properties vary from one part of the mixture to another</p>
<p>Heterogeneous mixtures</p>
<p>occurs when a sample of matter changes its physical appearance; its composition remains unchanged; includes changes in texture, color, temperature, shape, state</p>
<p>Physical change </p>
<p>when one or more samples of matter are converted to new samples with different compositions; indications include change in temperature, change in color, noticeable odor, formation of a precipitate, formation of bubbles</p>
<p>Chemical change</p>
<p>State of matter that maintains a<strong>fixed </strong>volume and shape,with component particles (atoms, molecules or ions) <strong>[IFA] close together </strong>and <strong>fixed into place</strong></p>
<p><strong>Molecular Motion:</strong>Vibration</p>
<p>Solid</p>
<p>States of Matter that maintains a <strong>fixed volume,</strong> but has a <strong>variable shape</strong> that adapts to fit its container. Its particles <strong>[IFA] are still close together but move freely</strong></p>
<p><strong>Molecular Motion: </strong>Gliding</p>
<p>Liquid</p>
<p>States of Matter: has <strong>both variable volume and shape,</strong> adapting both to fit its container. Its particles <strong>[IFA] are neither close together nor fixed in place</strong></p>
<p><strong>Molecular Motion:</strong>Constant random motion</p>
<p>Gas</p>
<p>States of Matter: has <strong>variable volume and shape,</strong> but as well as <u>neutral atoms,</u> it contains a s<strong>ignificant number of ions and electrons,</strong> both of which <strong>can move around freely</strong></p>
<p>Plasma</p>
<p>The state or phase of a given set of matter can change depending on pressure and temperature conditions.</p>
