PICLEC: MODULE 1 Flashcards
The science that describes matter—its properties, the changes it undergoes, and the energy changes that accompany those processes

PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY
Anything that has mass and occupies space; is tangible
MATTER
Measure of the quantity of matter
MASS
Amount of space
VOLUME
The capacity to do work or to transfer heat
ENERGY

EXOTHERMIC
ENERGY CHANGES
- Absorbs (heat)
ENDOTHERMIC
STATES OF MATTER
- SOLID
- LIQUID
- GAS
STATES OF MATTER
- Molecules packed close together orderly; Rigid
SOLID
STATES OF MATTER
- Molecules are close but randomly arranged; Flows and assumes shape of container
LIQUID
STATES OF MATTER
- Molecules are far apart; Fills any container
completely
GAS
CHANGES OF STATES
S - L = MELTING
L - S = FREEZING
L - G = BOILING
G - L = CONDENSATION
G - S = DEPOSITION
S - G = SUBLIMATION
Can be observed or measured without changing the identity of the substance.
e.g. color, hardness, melting point, boiling point
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
Exhibited by matter as it undergoes changes in
composition.
e.g. hydrogen has the potential to ignite and explode given the right conditions
e.g. iron reacts with oxygen gas to form rust
CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
Dependent on the amount of substance.
e.g. MASS – more substance, greater mass
e.g. VOLUME – more substance, greater volume
EXTENSIVE PROPERTIES
Independent on the amount of substance
e.g. DENSITY, Electrical Conductivity
INTENSIVE PROPERTIES
Way to Tell Intensive and Extensive Properties Apart
▪ Take two identical samples of a substance and put them
together.
▪ If this doubles the property (e.g., twice the mass, twice as
long), it’s an extensive property.
▪ If the property is unchanged by altering the sample size,
it’s an intensive property.
- one or more substances are used up
- one or more new substances are formed,
- energy is absorbed or released
- IRREVERSIBLE
- e.g. burning of paper, cooking an egg, souring of milk
CHEMICAL CHANGE
- no change in chemical composition
- REVERSIBLE
- e.g. shredding paper, boiling of water, breaking a
bottle
PHYSICAL CHANGE
Variable Composition (e.g. 70%, 80% or 95% ethanol in water)
May be separated into pure substances by physical methods (e.g. distillation, filtration)
MIXTURE
Fixed composition (e.g. 100% ethanol)
Cannot be separated into simpler substances by physical methods
PURE SUBSTANCE
- Components are NOT distinguishable (single phase)
- Have same composition throughout (i.e. same amount
in any areas) - e.g. SOLUTION
HOMOGENEOUS MIXTURE
- Components are distinguishable (multiple phases)
- Do NOT have same composition throughout (i.e.
different amount in various areas) - e.g. SUSPENSION
HETEROGENEOUS MIXTURE
- Can be decomposed to simpler substance by
chemical changes - consists of atoms of two or more different elements
bound together. - e.g. water, H2O can be broken into hydrogen and
oxygen gases via electrolysis
COMPOUND
- Cannot be decomposed to simpler substance by chemical changes
- Consists of only one kind of atom
ELEMENTS
- The smallest unit that retains the properties of an element.
ATOM
- All matter is composed of atoms and these cannot be made or destroyed.
DALTON’S THEORY
The number of protons in the nucleus of
an atom determines its identity; this
number is known as the atomic number
of that element.
e.g.
- Hydrogen atom contains 1 proton.
- Lithium atom contains 3 protons.
