Scientific Method:

A

Scientific inquiry followed by a procedure:
- Purpose - (ask a testable question),
- Hypothesis - (make a probable prediction based off of prior knowledge, or logic),
- Materials - (chemicals, substances, and apparatus used), safety considerations,
- Procedure - (step-by-step description on how to perform investigation), diagram,
- Observations - (qualitative or quantitative observations/data),
- Analyze - (compare data, look for patterns to make predictions),
- Discussion questions - (make connections), and conclusions (summarise results, was hypotheses correct),
- Comments - (opinion on investigation).

Q

Particle Theory of Matter:

A
  • All matter is made up of tiny particles.
  • All particles of one substance are the same. Different substances are made up of different particles.
  • The spaces between the particles are large compared to the sizes of the particles themselves.
  • The particles are always moving. The more energy that particles have the faster they move.
  • There are attracting forces among the particles. These forces are stronger when the particles are closer together.

Q

Physical Change:

A

Any change NOT involving a change in the substance’s chemical identity. For example:

(1) any change of state. Moving between solid, liquid and gas involves only the amount of energy in the sample. There is no effect on the chemical identity of the substance. For example, water remains water no matter if it is solid, liquid, or gas.

(2) grinding (makes into smaller pieces) something into a powder. Or the reverse process of making a biggest lump of stuff, say by melting lots of small pellets of copper into one big piece.

71
Q

Chemical Change:

A

Means that the reacting substance(s) are changed into NEW substances. The actual atoms involved remain, they are simply rearranged. Bonds break, atoms rearrange, new bonds form. For example: 2H2O makes 2H2 + O2 is a chemical reaction. Water broke down into hydrogen, and oxygen. Nothing changed, the atoms simply rearranged. Some new chemical bonds have broken (water), and new bonds formed (hydrogen + oxygen).

72
Q

Signs that a chemical change has happened:

A
  • A new colour appears
  • Energy - heat or light is given off
  • Bubbles of gas are formed
  • A solid material called a precipitate forms in a liquid
  • The change is difficult to reverse

  • In a chemical change, the total mass of products is equal to the total mass of the reactants.
  • Number of atoms in reactants = same number of atoms in products
  • Atoms have rearranged and new bonds have formed new substances.
  • Example: H2 + O2 → 2H2O
82
Q

Word Equations:

A
  • Uses the names of chemicals involved in the reaction
  • ex . Hydrogen + Oxygen → Water
83
Q

Balancing Chemical Equations:

A
  • If hydrogen and oxygen are involved, do hydrogen second last and oxygen last
  • Coefficients multiply the total number of atoms
84
Q

Types of Chemical Reactions:

A
  • Synthesis Reaction

86
Q

Decomposition Reaction:

A
  • A compound is broken into smaller compounds or elements.
  • AB → A + B
  • Ex. Electrolysis of water into oxygen and hydrogen gas
87
Q

Single Displacement:

A
  • One element is displaced from a compound by another element.
  • A + BC → AC + B
  • Ex. Zinc combines with hydrochloric acid and the zinc replaces the hydrogen
88
Q

Double Displacement Reaction:

A
  • Two compounds exchange bonds or ions in order to form different compounds.
  • AB + CD → AD + CB
  • Ex. Sodium Chloride + Silver Nitrate → Sodium Nitrate + Silver Chloride

Q

The Changing Model of The Atom:
Democritus - Indivisible Particle:

A
  • All matter can be divided into smaller and smaller pieces until it cannot be broken down further
  • Suggested ‘atomos’ that means indivisible ‘cannot be cut’
  • Also suggested: different atoms are different sizes, atoms are in constant motion, atoms are separated by space
142

  • Everything made of 4 elements: earth, wind, fire, and water
143
Q

The Changing Model of The Atom:
John Dalton - Billiard Ball Model:

A
  1. All matter is made up of tiny particles, called atoms
  2. Each element has its own kind of atom
  3. All atoms of an element are identical
  4. Atoms are rearranged to form new substances in chemical reactions BUT not created or destroyed by any ordinary means
    - Envisioned atoms as small billiard pool ball
144
Q

The Changing Model of The Atom:
JJ. Thomson - Plum Pudding:

A
  • Atom is solid sphere of positively charged matter
  • Negatively charged electrons embedded in solid sphere - evenly distributed
  • Called plum pudding because the electrons are embedded in the solid sphere like the dried fruits are randomly scattered in the plum pudding.
145

Q

Inside The Atom

A

There are over 200 subatomic particles that have been identified. The three fundamental subatomic particles are the proton, neutron, and electron.
- Nucleus
- Protons
- Neutrons
- Electrons
- Energy levels/shells/orbits

149
Q

Nucleus:

A
  • Tiny core of the atom

  • Contains protons and neutrons
150
Q

Protons:

A
  • Has a positive charge
  • Number of protons is equal to the number of electrons in the atom
  • Has a mass of 1 amu (atomic mass unit) = 6x10-24 grams
  • 1836 times heavier than an electron
  • Protons are not lost or gained during a physical or chemical change
151
Q

Neutrons:

A
  • Has a neutral charge
  • Provides essential matter for restabalizing the nucleus
  • Too many or too few neutrons = nucleus falling apart
  • Neutrons are not lost or gained during a physical or chemical change
152
Q

Electrons:

A
  • Has a negative charge
  • Mass of 1/1836 amu
  • Speed of 13,000km/h
  • Travel about the nucleus a billion times/second
  • Do not move in fixed orbits
153
Q

Energy levels/shells/orbits:

A
  • The energy of an electron determines its location within the electron cloud
  • Each electron is restricted to an energy level or shell
  • Electrons with less energy are found closer to the nucleus
  • Electrons with higher energy are found further away from the nucleus
  • Each energy level holds a certain amount of electrons
  • The valence electrons in the outermost shell determines how the atom combines with other atoms - cause chemical reactions
154
Q

Chemical Symbols:

A
  • Swedish chemist Jons Jakob Berzelius proposed a system of chemical symbols (50 elements known at the time)
  • New elements = person who found it can name the element
  • Chemical formula uses symbols and subscript numbers - MgCl2
  • Standard atomic notation - element symbol with atomic # (protons = electrons) and atomic mass (protons + neutrons) - round the mass
  • Neutrons (protons subtracted from mass)
155
Q

Alkali Metals (I):

  • Solid
  • Malleable and ductile
  • Soft enough to cut with knife (not francium)
156
Q

Alkali Metals (I):
Chemical Properties

A
  • Highly reactive
  • Reacts violently with water, thus they are stored in oil
157
Q

Alkaline Earth Metals (II):
Physical Properties

  • High densities
  • Solid
  • Iron, nickel, and cobalt are the only elements known to produce a magnetic field
160
Q

Transition Metals:
Chemical Properties

A
  • As you move across left to right, they become less reactive
161
Q

Chalcogens (VI):
Physical Properties

A
  • Gases, solids - are soft
  • As you move down family (column) melting points, boiling points, and densities increase - gas to solids
  • As you move down family, elements become more metallic - colours vary
162
Q

Halogens (VII):
Physical Properties

A
  • Non-metals, low densities
  • F and Cl - yellow-green
  • Br - red/brown liquid
  • Iodine and Astatine - violet/black solid
163
Q

Halogens (VII):
Chemical properties

A
  • Highly reactive - found in nature as compounds
  • Some are poisonous
164
Q

Nobel Gases (VIII):
Physical Properties

A
  • Non metals - all gases
  • Colourless and odourless gases
  • All noble gases give off brightly coloured light when electricity pasts through it which makes them useful for decorative lights (Neon Signs)
165
Q

Nobel Gases (VIII):
Chemical Properties

A
  • Non toxic except for radon
  • Non reactive or ‘inert’
166
Q

Ionic Bonding:

A
  • Electrons move from one outer shell to another
  • Creates atoms that are NOT neutral
  • Atoms gain or lose electrons to form a stable octet
  • Charged ions - one positive - cations (gives electrons)
  • Negative ions - one negative - anions (takes electrons)
  • Will stay together because opposite charges attract
  • Formed between metal, and non metal
  • Form an ionic compound
167
Q

Covalent Bonding:

A
  • No transferring electrons
  • Shells overlap to share electrons
  • Involves uncharged atoms which form molecular compounds
  • Non-metal and Non-metal
168
Q

Bonding:

A

Both types of bonds are equally as strong but, ionic compounds are held together more firmly. The charges keep the molecule held together. Molecular compounds do not have any charges to hold molecules together; they have lower melting points.

169
Q

Isotopes:

A
  • Members of an element family that have the same number of protons and electrons, but different numbers of neutrons.
  • Lighter isotopes = lighter mass than average
  • Heavy isotopes = heavier mass than average
170
Q

Chemical Nomenclature:
Ionic Compounds:

A
  • The metal name is first, and it remains the same
  • The nonmetal comes second, and the ending changes to ‘ide’
171
Q

Chemical Nomenclature:
Molecular Compounds:

A
  • The first element is the one that is farther to the left and or bottom of the periodic table
  • The second element in the name is the one farther to the right and/or top with ending changed to the suffix ‘ide’
  • 1 - mono, 2 - di, 3 - tri, 4 - tetra, 5 - penta, 6 - hexa, 7 - hepta, 8 - octa, 9 - nona, 10 - deca
