Introduction to Chemistry Flashcards
Khemein or Khemia
“preparation of black powder”
from Greek
Chymist
“alchemist”
from French
anything that has mass and volume
matter
5 states of matter
solid
liquid
gas
plasma
bose-einstein condensate
describe solid
- non-compressible
- vibrates when collided
describe liquid
- assumes the container’s shape
- glides on solid surfaces
describe gas
- compressible
- neutrally charged (p+ & e-)
describe plasma
- abundant protons and electrons (affects magnetic field)
- most abundant state of matter (ionized neon lights, auroras, stars, sun)
INTERMOLECULAR FORCES OF ATTRACTION
highest to lowest attraction in order
solid
liquid
gas
plasma
ENTHALPY (HEAT/REACTION ENERGY)
highest to lowest attraction in order
plasma
gas
liquid
solid
saturated with p+ and e-
plasma
other names of MELTING
fusion
liquefaction
thawing
other name of VAPORIZATION
evaporation
other names of RECOMBINATION
de-ionization
melting
solid to liquid; caused by heating
freezing
liquid to solid, caused by cooling a liquid.
vaporization
- liquid to gas (vapor) due to the escape of - - molecule from the surface.
condensation
- gas to liquid
- naturally caused by cooling.
sublimation
- solid to gas
- from solid to gaseous on heating, & from gaseous directly to solid on cooling.
deposition
- gas to solid
- direct transition from vapor state to the solid state
ionization
gas to plasma
recombination
plasma to gas
2 classifications of matter
- pure substance
- mixture
what is pure substance
- it cannot be separated by any physical means
- has a definite and constant composition
- possesses distinct chemical properties
what is mixture
2 or more substances wherein individual identities of the substances are retained
types of pure substance
- element
- compoundt
types of mixture
- homogenous
- heterogenous
element
- pure substance
- simplest form of matter
- 1 kind of material or atom
- has definite chemical composition
- cannot be decomposed by simple physical or chemical means into two or more different substances
compound
- elements chemically combined (must have chemical reaction)
- substance composed of two or more elements which combines chemically in definite proportion
- cannot be changed into simpler substances under normal laboratory conditions
homogenous mixture
1 single phase (solution)
solution
- uniform mixture
- composed of solute and solvent
- wherein atoms, molecules or ions of the substance becomes dispersed
heterogenous mixture
2 phases (suspension and colloids)
SUSPENSION
COLLOIDS
- aka “coarse mixture”
- madali maexpire
- solid particles do not dissolve, they are clumped or suspended in a solution
- homogenous dispersion insoluble in a liquid
- finely divided solid materials distributed in liquid
SUSPENSION
- microscopically dispersed insoluble particles suspended in a solution
- contain particles bigger than those in solutions, but smaller than those in suspension
- particle of solute are not broken down to the size of the molecules but are dispersed throughout the medium
- exhibit the light scattering effect
COLLOIDS
properties of colloids
- TYNDALL EFFECT
- light-scattering effect - BROWNIAN MOVEMENT
- zig-zag movement of colloidal particles - ELECTRICALLY CHARGED
- ADSORPTION
death of cells
necrosis
- degree of messiness
- measure of how disordered a system is
entropy
measure of energy in a thermodynamic system
enthalpy
CLASSIFICATION BASED ON DEPENDENCE TO THE AMOUNT OF MATTER PRESENT
extrinsic property
intrinsic property
