Stored in bonds of chemical substances
|
|
Electrical energy
|
Results from movement of charged particles
|
|
Mechanical energy

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 Planetary model (outdated)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 |
|

|
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

|
|
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 |
