Final EXAM Flashcards
Matter
Anything that occupies space and has mass
Pure substances
Same composition throughout and from sample to sample
Element
A substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances even by chemical reaction
Compound
A substance composed of 2 or more elements combined in definite proportions
Metal
Lustrous, malleable, conductor of heat and electricity
Non metal
Dull, brittle, insulator of heat and electricity
Metalloid
An element having properties of both metals and non metals
Mixture
Two or more elements or compounds
Homogenous
Same composition throughout
Heterogeneous
Do not have uniform composition throughout
Property
Characteristic that we can observe
Change
A process that changes the properties of a substance
Physical property
Characteristic that we can observe without changing composition of substance
Qualitative properties
Color, odor
Quantitative properties
Mass, density
1 mL
1 cm^3
Density formula
D = mass/volume
Exothermic
Release energy
Endothermic
Requires energy input
Law of conservation of mass
Mass is not gained or lost in a chemical reaction
Law of definite proportions
A compound always has the same mass ratio of the elements that compose it
Protons
Positively charged,
Isotopic symbol
A/Z (X)
A=mass number (protons and neutrons)
N=number of neutrons to in the nucleus
Cations
Positively charged ions, add ion to elemental name
Anions
Negatively charged ions, add ide ion
Relative atomic mass
(isotope mass of 1 x relative abundance of 1) + (isotope mass of 2 x relative abundance of 2)
/ relative atomic mass
Group/family
Elements in the same column having similar properties
Period
Horizontal row of elements having properties that tend to vary in regular fashion
Alkali metals
Group 1 metals (not hydrogen)
Alkaline earth metals
Group 2 metals
Halogens
Group 17, exist as diatomic molecules
Noble gases
Group 18 nonmetals
Diatomic molecules
N, O, F, Cl, Br, I, H
Molecular compounds
Composed of 2 or more nonmetals
Ionic compound
Composed of cation (metal) and anion (nonmetal)
Dissociation/ionization
Substance releases ions when dissolved in water
Strong electrolyte
Dissociate completely, conduct electricity well
Weak electrolyte
Dissociate partially, conduct electricity fairly
Non electrolyte
Do not dissociate, don’t conduct electricity
Monoatomic charges
Group 1A (charge of +1), Group 2A (charge of +2), Group 4A (charge of 3-), Group 6A (charge of 2-), Group 7A (charge of 1-), Al+3, Ni+2, Ag+, Zn+2, Cd+2,
