Gen chem Flashcards
provides much if the information that informs the hyphothesis theories
measurement
liters, pounds and centimeters are standard for measurement
unit
7 base unit of SI system
length
meter
time
temperature
electric current
amount of substance
luminous intensity
is the measure of the amount of space occupied by an object.
volume
is the mass per unit volume of a substance
density
recite the formulas
m= dv
d=m/v
v=m/d
argued that all matter was composed of small , finate particles that called atomos
leucippus and democritus
atomos derived the greek word
invisible
he helped to revolutionize chemistry with his hypothesis that the behavior of matter could be explained using an anatomic theory
john dalton
is an smallest unit of an element that can participate in chemical change
atom
consist of atoms of two or more elements combined in a small whole number ratio.
compounds
are neither created nor destroyed during chemical change
atoms
explains that elements combine in ratios of simple whole numbers to form a compound
law of definite proportion
explains that two elements react to form two or more different compounds, which one fixed or constant element, the mass ratio of the constant element in the compounds is expressed in the smallest whole number
law of constant composition
the total mass of substances present at the end of a chemical process is the same as the mass of substances present before the process took place
law of conservation of mass
one of the domains of chemistry, which known as the realm of everyday things that are large enough to be sensed directly by human sight or touch
macroscopic domain
it has particles that are closely packed together and usually arranged in a regular pattern
solid
argon in a tank is example of
gas
it has no definite volume and shape
gas
it takes the shape of the container forms horizontal surface and has fixed volume
liquid
