Final Review Flashcards
What is chemistry?
The scientific study of matter & its transformations
What is an experiment?
How we study science, it must be obective (fact/non-biased) not subjective (opinion/biased)
What is Matter?
Anything that has mass & takes up space
What is Physical Change?
No rearrangement of atoms (change in state)
What is a Chemical Change?
Rearrangement of atoms
What is Science?
Systematic endevor to understand a natural phenomenon
What is Density?
Relating the mass of a species to its volume
What are atoms?
Make up matter
What is a molecule?
2 or more atoms chemically combined
What is a coumpound?
2 or more atoms of different identity chemically combined
What is atomic mass?
Weighted average of all naturally occuring isotopes
What is the mass number?
Protons + Neutrons
What is a mixture?
Two or more specieis coming together with no reaction
Homogenous vs Heterogenous mixtures
Homogenous: No barrier/everything mixed (also known as solutions)
Heterogenous: Barrier between species/layers are visible
What are the 3 Mass Laws?
- Conservation of Mass: During a reaction, mass is neither created nor destroyed
- Definite Proportion: For a given compound the ratio of components is fixed. If you change the ratio you change the compound
- Multiple Proportions: When 2 elements combine to form a compound, the mass of one element, which combines with a fixed mass of the other, will always be in whole number ratios
