Unit 2 Flashcards
Chemistry
The study of matter and the changes it undergoes
Matter
Anything that has mass and volume
All matter is made up of atoms
Mass
The AMOUNT of material an object contains
Mass ≠ weight
Weight
The measure of force gravity has on a certain mass
Volume
The space occupied by an object
Atom
Tiniest bit of matter where the essence of the substance is still retained
- electrons protons and neutrons
-neutrons and protons make up nucleus
Pure substance
Elements and Compounds
Materials that had a fixed chemical composition throughout
Element
The simplest kind of matter that cannot be broken down into anything simpler and retain its identity
—one type of atom
- each element is on the period table
Monatomic
“Atomic elements”
atoms that are unpaired naturally
Most elements are monatomic
Homogeneous
Same composition throughout
Heterogeneous
Not uniform in composition
Compound
Substances that can only be broken down by chemicals reactions
Made by two or more types of atoms
Water
Diatomic element
Elements with atoms that exist paired in nature
Oh bro I clearly have no food
Oxygen, bromine, Iodine, chlorine, hydrogen, nitrogen, fluorine
Methods of separation for mixtures
Crystallization
Distillation
Chromatography
Filtration
Solid - gas
Sublimation
Gas - solid
Deposition
Liquid - gas
Vaporization
Gas - liquid
Condensation
Solid - liquid
Melting
Liquid - solid
Freezing
Endothermic
Energy (as heat) flows from the surroundings into the system
Exothermic
Energy (as heat) flows out of the system into the surrounding
Solid
Matter with defined shape and volume
Particles are tightly packed together
Liquid
Matter where particles move apart and have no order and flow past each other
Has defined volume but no defined shape
