Scientific method
Define, observe, hypothesis, experiment, outcome of law or theory
Units of measurement
Tera, giga, mega, Kilo, hecto, deca, base, deci, centi, milli,, micro, nano, pico
Sig fig rules
- Non zeros significant
- Sandwiched zeros significant
- Numbers on right of decimal significant if number is greater than 1
- Zeros on left of decimal point of 1 insignificant
- Trailing zeros may/may not be significant

Pure substances
Matter with uniform composition and distinct properties
Mixture
Concentration of 2+ substances where each substance retains specific identities (heterogenous ex. Oil and water) (homogenous, composition is the same ex. Sand and iron filings)
Filtration
Removal of solids from liquids in solution
Distillation
Selective separation with condensation/evaporation
Chromatography
Separation/distribution of components in solution with mobile and stationary phase
Element
Substance that cannot be reduced or separated into a simpler substance, all identical atoms
Compound
Substance composed of 2+ elements chemically combined with fixed proportions, different elements chemically bonded together
Physical properties
Can be measured without changing composition or identity of substance ex. Melting or boiling point
Chemical properties
Measured through end result of chemical reaction ex. Hard boiling of egg, rusting, digesting, combustion
Extensive property
Depends how much matter used ex. Mass, volume, length
Intensive property
Does not matter how much matter used ex. Area, density, temperature, boiling point
Atomic theory
- All elements are composed of atoms
- All atoms are identical in elements
- Compounds composed of atoms of 2+ elements in fixed ratio
- Chemical reactions can only separate, rearrange or combine
Law of definite porportions
Fixed proportions regardless of sample size
Law of multiple proportions
2 elements can form different compounds ex. H20 and h202
Law of conservation of mass
Matter cannot be created or destroyed
Atom
Basic unit of element that can enter into chemical combination
Radiation
Emission and transmission of energy in forms of rays, discovered by JJ Thomson cathode ray tube experiment (determined ratio of electric charge to mass of electron)
Robert milligan oil drop experiment
Determined actual charge of electrons when suspended by velocity
Bequerel radioactivity
Discovered spontaneous emissions of particles & emission, alpha beta gamma
Rutherford goil
-atom is mostly empty space, nucleus positively charged and is small and dense (observations that most alpha particles traveled through foil, some were deflected by small angles and few bounced back)
Chadwick beryllium
Shot alpha rays at beryllium and discovered neutrons
Atomic mass
(Atomic mass 1) (% as decimal) + (atomic mass 2) (% as decimal)
Metal propeties
Good conductors of heat and electricity, all solid except mercury; some are magnetic, malleable, majority, mostly silver/green
Mettalloids
Between metals and non metals chemically and geographically
Non metals
Opposite of metals, all gas excluding bromine, varity of colors
Alkali metals
Extremely explosive, stored under oil or argon capsules
Alkaline earth metals
2 valence electrons, good conductors of electricity
Transition metals
Form colored solutions
Halogens
Always diatomic- must be in chemical bond, only group with all 3 phases
Noble gasses
Inert, stable electron configuration of 8
Molecule
2+ atoms in definite arrangement held by chemical covalent bonds ex. H2
Polyatomic molecules have 3+ atoms (can be same or different elemtents)
Charged ion
Atom(s) w net positive/negative charge
Binary compounds (ionic)
- ide ending
Ternary compounds (ionic)
Roman numerals, ide ending, ecspecially used with transition metals
Covalent molecular naming prefixes
Mono di tri tetra penta hexa hepta octa Nona deca
Acids
H+ ion
In binary acid use hydro prefix and ic ending w acid
In ternary acid no hydro prefix but add acid
Ate becomes ic, ite becomes ous
Oxyacids have “per” at beginning containing hydrogen and polyatomic ions with 02
