Part 2 Science Flashcards
anything that occupies space and has mass
MATTER
- are homogenous materials with definite chemical properties and consists of
one particular kind of matter.
PURE SUBSTANCES
- is a substance that can no longer be decomposed into simpler ones by ordinary
physical and chemical methods. There are at present 103 elements known. Of these, about 75
are metals and the remaining constitutes the non metals and the metalloids.
ELEMENT
How many elements are present?
How many metals are there?
103
75
During ordinary chemical changes, elements remain uncharged. However, not it is possible to
decompose or change an element into another by extraordinary methods. Some radioactive
elements like _____and ______ spontaneously decompose or disintegrate.
Radium and Uranium
CLASSIFICATION OF ELEMENT
Metal, Non-metal, Metalloid
-Base forming elements whose atoms can lose electrons and form positive ions. The
nomenclature commonly ends “ium” or “um”
Metals
Properties of Metals
a. usually solid (except Hg)
b. opaque, lustrous
c. malleable
d. ductile
e. conductors of heat and electricity
f. usually heavy except for a few
Examples of metals
Ca, Al, Na, Fe, Ag
- are acid forming elements whose atoms can gain electrons and form negative ions.
The names usually end in “gen” “ine” “on”.
Non-Metal
Properties of Non Metal
a. usually gases of brittle solid (except bromine)
b. mostly transparent
c. light
d. poor conductors of heat and electricity
l, Cl, H, He, Ru,
Non-Metal
Examples of Non-Metal
Examples: l, Cl, H, He, Ru,
- those elements which exhibit both metallic and non metallic properties.
Metalloids
Examples of metalloids
Examples
are antimony and arsenic
- composed of two or more elements chemically combined in a definite
proportion by weight
COMPOUND
Types of Compound
Organic
Inorganic
- any member of a large class of chemical compounds whose molecules
contain carbon
Organic compound
- any compound that does not contain carbon.
Inorganic compound
- compounds of oxygen and other elements
Oxides
*Inorganic
– compounds which contain hydrogen ions replaceable by metals. Example HCl, H2SO4,
HNO3
Acids
*Inorganic
– hydroxides of metals. Ex. NaOH. KOH
Bases
*Inorganic
– compounds which contain the negative radical of an acid and the positive radical of a
base
Salts
*Inorganic
Examples of inorganic
Ex. NaCl. CaBr2, CuSO4, Mg3(PO4)2
Have definite composition
Compound
Have variable composition
Mixture
