GenChem_ARC Flashcards
It is anything that has mass and volume. It can be described by using physical and chemical properties.
Matter
These are properties that can be observed or measured.
Physical Properties
- Color
- Temperature
- Flammability
- Density
- Mass
- Length
- Volume
- Conductivity
- Reactivity
- State

These are properties that determine whether or not a substance will react chemically.
Chemical Properties
It does not depend on the size or amount of the sample.
Intensive Property
Also known as Intrinsic Property
Intensive Property
It depends on the size or amount of the sample.
Extensive Property
Also known as Extrinsic Property.
Extensive Property
Intensive or Extensive: Density
Intensive
It is the simplest substances. Made up of one atom.
Element
Made up of more than one type of atom.
Compound
The composition is uniform.
Homogenous mixture
The composition is not uniform.
Heterogeneous mixture
Each element is composed of extremely small particles called atoms. All the atoms of a given element are identical, but they differ from those of any other element.
Billiard Ball Model (1803)
Billiard Ball Model (1803)
Dalton
The atom is made up of negative electrons that float in a sphere of positive charge like plums in a pudding.
Plum Pudding Model (1904)
He discovered electron (cathode ray experiment) in 1897 and isotopes in 1913.
J.J. Thomson
Discovered the nucleus of a gold atom with his “gold foil” experiment.
Ernest Rutherford
The atom is mostly empty space. There is a small, dense center with a positive charge. Electrons in fixed orbit.
Nuclear Model (1911)
Nucleus surrounded by orbiting electrons at different energy levels. Electrons have definite orbits.
Bohr’s Planetary Model (1913)
Positive charge (+), 1
atomic mass unit (amu); found in
the nucleus.
Proton
Neutral charge (0), 1
amu; found in the nucleus.
Neutron
Negative charge (-),
mass is VERY small.
Electron
Its number determines the identity of the element.
Proton
Atomic Number
Number of protons in nucleus.
Mass Number (Atomic Mass)
Number of protons + neutrons.
Atoms of the same element with varying number of neutrons.
Isotopes
Carbon has three naturally occurring isotopes with ______ having the highest percent abundance.
C-12
