Final Flashcards
What is matter
Anything that takes up space and has a mass
What can matter be measured in
Mass (amount is substance)
Volume (amount of space occupied)
4 states of matter
Solid
Liquid
Gas
Plasma
Classifying matter
Matter = particles Particles = properties Properties = characteristics that describe the substance
Pure substance
Made up of ONE particle
Elements = pure substance that cant be broken down (gold = g)
Compound = pure substance combining 2 or more elements (water = h2o)
Mixtures
Mechanical = visible diff (heterogeneous) Suspension = particles of one substance are held within the other, makes cloudy mixture (heterogeneous) Solution = looks like 1 substance (homogeneous
Who is Dmitri Mendeleev
He organized the elements into a table
He gathered: colour, density, melting point, and reactivity
Sorted it into rows and columns
Who is Henry Moseley
He rearranged the periodic table according to atomic number
What are the rows and columns called in the periodic table
Rows = periods Columns = groups
What 2 categories is the periodic table divided into
Metals and non metals
Which atomic particles have a mass
Protons and neutrons mass unit of 1
Formula or calculating protons, neutrons, and electrons
Protons = atomic number Electrons = atomic number Neutrons = mass number - atomic number
What is an alloy
A mixture of two metals
What created the silver penny
The zinc coted the copper giving it that silver effect
What created the gold penny
The zinc atoms mixed with the copper atoms with heat, creating an alloy (not actual gold)
Adhesion
Physical property of water sticking to other substances
Chemical change
a change that forms a new substance
Chemical property
Characteristic of a substance that describes how it reacts when it changes into a new substance
Chemical reaction
When a chemical change occurs
Cohesion
Physical property of water sticking to itself
Combustible
Ability of a substance to react quickly with oxygen to produce heat or light
