Test One Flashcards
Unit of matter composed of two or more atoms, chemically bonded
Molecule
Smallest building block of matter - indivisible particle
Atom
A single type of matter, can’t be decomposed into simpler substances
Element
Combination of two or more elements in distinct proportions
Compound
Compositions do not vary from sample to sample; all parts of substance are identical
Pure substance
Two or more separate components, no distinct proportions, uniform throughout
Homogenous mixture
Two or more separate components, no distinct properties, not uniform throughout
Heterogenous mixture
Measurable properties that can be measure without hanging the identity of the substance (bp, color, odor)
Physical property
Describe chemical reactivity of a substance (ability to burn in oxygen)
Chemical property
Alter physical appearance, but not chemical composition (boiling, melting)
Physical Change
Transform substances into new ones
Chemical changes
Properties that do not depend on the amount of substance
Intensive properties
Properties that depend upon the amount of substance (mass, volume, density, HEAT)
Extensive properties
The amount of space a substance takes up
Volume
The amount of mass per unit volume
Density
How close several measures are to one another
Precision
How close a measurement is to the true value
Accuracy
Elements that combine in different ways to form more than one compound must do so in ratios of whole numbers
Law of multiple proportions
Experiment that resulted in the discovery of the electron
Cathode ray tube
Experiment that found the charge and mass of an electron
Millikan oil drop experiment
