Exam 1 Flashcards
Atom
The smallest unit of division for matter
Atomic number
Number of protons in nucleus
Atomic weight
Average mass of atom (amu)
Barometer
Measures atmospheric pressure
Bohr
Around a positive nucleus, electrons can change orbitals only by absorbing or releasing energy
Boiling point
The temp at which vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the atmospheric pressure
Chemical
Substances studied in chemistry
Chemistry
Identification and study of substances and matter
Compound
A pure substance consisting of two or more types of atoms
Dalton
Atomic theory - all matter is composed of atoms (smallest) - all atoms of the same element have the same chemical properties - atoms of two different elements can combine to form a new substance
Density
Mass/volume
Diatomic
Molecules containing 2 atoms
Electron
Subatomic particle with a negative charge
Element
(Homo) pure one kind of atom 👩❤️👩
Family
AKA group
Vertical column of elements with similar properties
Formula weight
Labeled amu
Sum of atomic weights of atoms in a compound
Heteroatomic
Molecules consisting of two or more types of atoms
Heterogeneous
Matter with properties not uniform throughout substance
Homogeneous
Same properties throughout sample of matter
Hypothesis
Proposed statement without actual proof to explain facts
Ionization
Energy required to remove an electron
