Lesson 1 Flashcards
2 kinds of matter
mixtures, pure substances
2 kinds of mixtures
mechanical, solutions
2 kinds of pure substances
elements, compounds
element
a pure substance that cannot be further broken down through chemical methods
compound
a pure substance that can be further broken down into simpler parts
physical properties
a characteristic of a substance that can be observed/measured without changing the identity of the substance
qualitative physical properties
can be observed and described without measurement
(“COSTLOM”) colour, odour, state, texture, luster, opacity, malleability
quantitative physical properties
can be measured and assigned a value
(VMSHCD) viscosity, melting and boiling point, solubility hardness, conductivity, density
chemical properties
the ability of a substance to react and form one or more new substances (RCST) reactivity, conbustability, stability, toxicity)
atomic #
= # protons
mass #
= protons + neutrons
neutron #
= mass # - protons
protons
= # electrons
4 main periodic table groups
alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, halogens, noble gases
ionic bonds
formed between metals and non-metals by the transferring of electrons, metals lose electrons (cations), non-metals loose electrons (anions)
