Chemical energy
Stored in bonds of chemical substances
Electrical energy
Results from movement of charged particles
Mechanical energy
Energy DIRECTLY. Involved in moving matter
Radiant/electromagnetic energy
Energy that travels in waves
Elements
Unique substances that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by ordinary chemical methods
Atoms
Particles or building blocks of elements
Contents of nucleus
Protons & neutrons
Protons
Positively charged
Neutrons
Neutral
Electrons
Negatively charged & always in equal # to the # of protons in the atom's nucleus
2 types of atomic models
1. Planetary model (outdated)
2. Orbital model (has shading to show likely regions of electron dendity)
Atomic number
Is equal the # of protons in an atom
In subscript to left of atomic symbol
Mass number
Protons plus neutrons
Written in superscript to the left of atomic symbol
Isotopes
Structural variations present in nearly all elements
Has same number of protons (&electrons) but differing number of neutons
Atomic weight
Average of all the weights of all the isotopes of an element
Radioisotopes
Heavier isotopes that spontaneously decompose into more stable forms
Major elements in human body composition
1. Oxygen
2. Carbon
3. Hydrogen
4. Nitrogen
Molecule
2 or more atoms held together by chenical bond
H+H = H2 is an example of what?
A molecule of the element hydrogen
If 2 or more atoms of the same element combine, it is a molecule of that element
Compound
When 2 or more atoms of different elements bind
Chemical purity of compounds
Every atom of h2O is still H2O
Mixtures
2 or more components physically mixed
3 basic types of mixtures
1. Solutions
2. Colloids
3. Suspensions
Solutions
- homogeneous
- can be gas, liquid or solid
Homogeneous mixture
Any sample taken from any part will have same composition
Ie air, seawater
Solvent
-substance present in greatest amount in a solution
(Usually liquid)
Solutes
Substances present in lesser amounts in a solution
2 ways of representing concentration of a solution
- percentage
- molarity
Molarity
Moles per liter
Moles
Atomic weight or molecular weight in gramd
Avogardo's number definition
One mole of any substance ALWAYS contains EXACT same number of solute particles
Avogardo's number formula
6.02 x 10 to the 23rd power
Colloids
Aka emulsions
Heterogeneous
Often translucent or milky
Sol-gel transformation
Heterogeneous
Composition is dissimilar in different areas of mixture
Sol-gel transformation
Ability to change from fluid (sol) to more solid gel

Ie Jello
Suspensions
Heterogeneous
Large, visible solutea
Ie sand & water
Blood
Distinguishing mixtures from compounds
Mixtures have no chemical bond
Mixtures can often be physically separated
Some mixtures are heterogeneous
