exam one Flashcards
what is the difference between an element and a compound?
an element is a pure substance that can not be broken down, while a compound is made up of two or more (elements, atoms, substances, etc) and can be broken down.
what is the difference between pure substances and mixtures?
a pure substance is made up of one component, while mixtures are made up of two or more.
what is the difference from a solution/homogeneous mixture to a heterogeneous mixture
a heterogeneous mixture is where the composition varies from one region to another, while a solution/homogenous mixture is uniform throughout.

what is one gal in L
3.785 L
what is a physical property
a property that shows without changing composition (ie: melting or freezing)
what is a chemical property
a property that shows after/during a change in composition (ie: apples turning brown after being cut)
what is an extensive property
volume, mass or size. depends on the size
what is an intensive property
density, state, or temperature. does not depend on the size.

what is the equation for wavelength (λ)
λ= speed/frequency
what does n stand for? L? ml?
n- the principle quantum number (ie, the size of an electron, be it 2s or 3s)
l- the angular momentum quantum number (ie, the orbital an electron occupies, be it s, p, d, or f)
ml- the energy levels in a subshell
