Q
Sig Figs
A
- Significant Figures
1. All non-zero numbers are sig figs
2. A zero between non zero numbers is a sig fig (101)
3. A zero after a non zero number may be a sig fig - ADD/SUB= keep the least amount of sig figs after the decimal point
- MULT/DIV= keep the least amount of sig figs in your final answer
- put units!!

Q
density
A
- property for a pure substance that will never change
- d=m/v (mass/volume)\
- density unit= g/mL; g/cm; kg/L

Q
Dalton’s Atomic Theory
A
- elements are composed of tiny indivisible particles called atoms. (false= protons and neutrons are smaller than atoms)
- atoms of the same element are identical (false= isotopes= atoms that have the same numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons)
- Combination of elements (atoms) form a compound
- Law of Definite proportions= 1:1 ratio when elements combine (ex; NaCl always 1:1)
- Law of Multiple Proportions= ratio can change (smaller or larger) (ex; NO, N2O5) - chemical reactions occur due to the rearrangement of atoms
