final review Flashcards
density
mass / volume
chemical property
ability of a substance to react or change into one or more other substances (flammability or reactivity)
physical change
a change that does not alter the composition of a material, only the state or phase has changed (cut, tear, boil, freeze, grind)
chemical change
a change that alters the identity of a material, new substances are formed (burn, rot, rust)
identify chemical change
change in color, change in energy or temp, production of gas, or formation of a precipitate

types of mixtures
hetero and homogenous
number of neutrons in an atom
mass num - protons
number of protons in an atom
atomic number
number of electrons in an atom
protons (atomic number) if neutral
what is an isotope
atoms of the same element that have the same amt of protons but different amt of neutrons
isotope notation

wavelength
λ - shortest distance between equivalent points on a wave (m, mm, nm)
frequency
v - number of waves that pass a given point per second (herzt, 1/sec)
