unit one Flashcards
states of matter
solid, liquid, gas
when molecules of a substance are arranged in an orderly pattern (ex: table salt and snowflakes)
crystalline solid
no long range consistency in structure, lack of pattern in particle arrangement
amorphous solid
what are the four universal laws
conservation of matter, conservation of energy, law of constant/definite composition, law of multiple proportions
what is the law of conservation of mass
mass can’t be created or destroyed
what is the law of conservation of energy
energy can’t be created or destroyed
what is the law of constant/definite composition
in any particular chemical compound, all samples of that compound will be made up of the same elements in the same proportion or ratio
what is the law of multiple proportions
when two elements combine to form more than one compound, the different masses of one element combine with the same mass of the other element in a simple ratio of whole numbers (usually small)
what makes a mixture homogeneous
the mixture is fully mixed in, uniform in distribution throughout
what makes a mixture hetereogeneous
a mixture that is not uniform in composition
how to separate heterogeneous mixtures
filtration
what is a compound
two or more elements combined
how to separate homogeneous mixtures
distillation
what is a pure substance that CANNOT be broken down chemically
element
what is a pure substance
single chemical, one kind of matter
what is a mixture
something that consists of two or more substances mixed together
what is dalton’s atomic theory
all matter is composed of atoms.
Atoms of the same element are similar in shape and mass, but differ from the atoms of other elements.
Atoms cannot be created or destroyed. Atoms of different elements may combine with each other in a fixed, simple, whole number ratios to form compound atoms
what was rutherford’s experiment significance
discovered the nucleus
what was the plum pudding model of the atom
made by j.j thompson who discovered the electron
what did mendeelev do for chemistry
founder of the periodic table
