Q

What are elements?

A

The simplest form of all

matter and building blocks for all substances

Q

What is a mixture?

A

A type of matter that can be separated hsing physical means

What are 2 ways to separate mixtures?

Chromatography and distillation

What is distillation?

Separating mixtures based on boiling point

What is chromatography? Under what condition will it not work?

The separation of mixtures based on weight, it will not work if the mixture is clear or lacks color

Is distillation a physical or chemical separation method? What about chromatography?

Both are physical

``` a-3 b-5 c-5 d-2 e-1 f-3 ```

What is the rule for adding and subtracting significant figures?

Least number of decimal places allowed in the numbers added

What is the rule for multiplying and dividing significant figures?

Least number of significant figures allowed by the number being mutiplied and divided

What are electrons?

Negatively chaged subatomic particles

What is atom?

The smallest particle of an element thay still retains the properties of that element

What is an atomic number?

The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom

What is an isotope?

Atoms with the same number protons but different number of neutrons

What is a neutron?

A subatomic particle with no charge

What is a nonmetal?

Elements with no luster and are poor conductors of electricity

What is atomic mass?

The total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom

What is a proton?

A positively charged subatomic particle

How do you calculate the average mass of an atom?

(Relative Abundance•Mass)+(Relative Abundance•Mass)+... Add one parenthesis to the equation for however many numbers you have

What are the characteristics of metals?

1. Luster 2. Ductile 3. Malleable 4. Good conductors

What are characteristics of nonmetals?

1. Brittle 2. Not good conductors 3. Many are gases 4. Dull

What are characteristics of metalloids?

Metalloids have characteristics of metals and nonmetals based on conditions, usually temperature

What were the major contributions of Marie Curie to our knowledge of atomic structure?

Characterized radioactivity

What were the major contributions of Earnest Rtherford to our knowledge of atomic structure?

Nuclear model, showed atoms have a nucleus in the middle and are mostly empty space

What were the major contributions of J.J. Thompson to or knowledge of atomic structure?

Discovered electrons, plum-pudding model

What were the major contributions of Neils Bohr to our knowledge of atomic structure?

Bohr model, electron theory

What were the major contributions of John Dalton to our knowledge of the atomic structure?

Atomic theory

What is the atomic theory?(all 4 parts)

1. All elements are made of atoms 2. Atoms of the same element are identical 3. Atoms can not be created or destoryed 4. Compounds form form atoms in special ratios

What is an element?

Substances that can be decomposed into simpler substances by physical or chemical means and are on the periodic table

What is a mixture?

Matter that has variable composition amd can be separated using physical means

What are the two types of mixtures?

1. Homogenous- Have visibly indistinguishable parts | 2. Hetergenous- Have visibly distinguishable parts

What is a compound?

A substances with constant composition that can be broken down into elements by means of chemical processess
