TEST 1 Flashcards
atomic mass unit
mass of atoms
atomic number
protons and neutrons
exact number
counted
inexact number
any quantity obtained by not counting
accuracy
closest to the true answer
precision
replicate measurements
substance
form of matter that has a specific chemical composition and distinct, observable properties.
mixture
combination of two or more substances
homogenous mixture
composition of the mixture is uniform throughout
heterogeneous
composition is not uniform
physical process
separating mixtures without changing the identity of any substance
extensive property
amount of matter: mass and volume
intensive property
does not depend on the amount go matter: density and melting point
molecule
matter made of atoms
pure substance
a single kind of matter that cannot be separated into other kinds of matter by any physical means.
isotopes
same number of protons but different number of neutrons
alkali metals
3, 11, 19, 37, 55, 87
diatomic element
two atoms
molar mass v atomic mass
molar mass is the average of many elements of the compound; atomic mass is the mass of the atom
explain the concept of a mole and how it is sometimes useful for describing the number of individual units in a sample
the mole unit allows us to express amounts of atoms and molecules in visible amounts that we can understand
electrostatic relationship
EF is directly related to the product of the charges and inversely related to the square of the separation distance.
relative potential energies and stabilities
the lower potential energy the more stable it is
explain why the interaction of two particles will have potential energy values that are positive negative and zero
the charges of the particles determines the value. if there are two positive the value will be positive, if the charges are opposite then it will be negative and when two particles are very far a[art there is zero.
diatomic elements
hydrogen, nitrogen, chlorine, oxygen, fluorine, bromine, iodine
atoms to moles
divide be avogrados
atoms to mass
multiply by the amu then divide by avogrado
is atomic number super or su- script?
subscript
is mass number super or sub- script
superscript
condensation
gas to liquid
the wave with the greatest frequency has the _____ wavelength
shortest
electromagnetic spectrum , long to short wavelength
radio, microwave, infrared, visile, ultraviolet, x-ray , gamma
sublimation
solid to gas
celcisu to kelvin
+273
