Science 10 - Chemistry Flashcards
What is Chemistry?
Study of Matter’s: properties, changes or transformations.
What is Matter?
Anything that has mass and takes up space.
What is a Pure Substance?
All particles that make a substance is the same.
What is an Element?
Pure substances that cannot be broken down into simpler substances.
What is a Compound?
Pure substances that contain two or more different elements in fixed proportions.
What are the Physical Properties of Matter?
- Melting Point / Boiling Point
- Colour
- Odour
- Density
- Lustre
- Does not change chemical properties
What is Chemical Properties?
A characteristic behaviour that occurs when a substance changes into a new substance.
What are the Chemical Changes?
- New substance is formed
- Gas released
- Colour change
- Heat or light given off
- Difficult to reverse
How do you spot the Degree of Danger?
The amount of sides the bored has. If there is more sides, it is more dangerous.
What is the Periodic Table?
A structured arrangement of elements that helps us to explain and predict physical and chemical changes.
Periods VS Groups
Groups : Vertical
Periods : Horizontal
What are Chemical Families?
Groups of elements in the same vertical column or group.
What are the Chemical Families?
Alkali Metals, Alkaline Earth Metals, Transition Metals, Non-Metals, Metalloids, Halogens and Noble Gases
What is an Proton?
Positive charge located in the nucleus
What is a Neutron?
Neutral charge located in the nucleus
What is a Electron?
Negative charge located the electron cloud.
How many electrons can be in the first shell of a Bohr Diagram?
Two
What is Valence Shell?
The last electron orbit on a Bohr diagram.
What is an Ion?
Elements changing due to a change in electron numbers.
What do all elements want to do?
Have a complete valance shell.
If it loses electrons, it becomes _____. This is a positive charge.
Cation
If it gains electrons, it becomes _____. This is a negative charge.
Anion
What are Chemical Formulas?
A combination of symbols that represent a particular compound.
What are Ionic Compounds?
Formed by the transfer of electrons from one metal to one non-metal.
What are Molecular Compounds?
Formed when non-metals share electrons with other non-metals. The sharing becomes a covenant compound.
What does Binary mean?
Two elements together.
