What is chemistry |
The study of matter and the change of matter |
|
Properties of each physical state of matter |
Solid:Has both definitive shape and definitive volume. Gas:No fixed volume or shape, conforms to the shape of the container, can be compressed to smaller volume or expanded to occupy larger volume Liquid:Distinct volume independent of its container but has no specific shape. |
|
The Seven Diatomic Elements |
*Don't forget that it looks like a 7 on the periodic table* Hydrogen Nitrogen Oxygen Fluorine Chlorine Bromine Iodine |
|
What is an Element |
A substance that cannot be chemically decomposed into a simpler substance.. |
|
What are atoms |
Atoms are the smallest building blocks of matter. Some examples are Helium, Iron, and hydrogen |
|
What are Molecules |
Two or more atoms are joined together in a specific shape. A water molecule H2O, is an example of a molecule. |
|
Extensive and intensive changes. |
Intensive properties are related to the physical properties of matter. Intensive properties do not depend on the amount of matter present. I.E Color, luster, odor, hardness, boiling point, conductivity...etc Extensive properties are related to the amount of matter present. The mass, weight, length, and volume fall under this category |
|
The 4 common SI units |
Length: Meters Mass: Kilograms Temperature: Kelvin Time: Seconds |
|
Common Metric Prefixes and meanings |

|
What are the two derived units? |
Volume: Length x Height x Width Density: The amount of mass in a unit volume of a substance. D= (M / V) Mass over volume |
|
What are Exact Numbers and Inexact numbers |
Exact numbers have no uncertainty. Examples are, conversion factors, or counting items. 12 eggs in a dozen 1000g = 1Kg 100cm= 1m Inexact numbers have some uncertainty. This is obtained from measurement. Error always exists in measured quantities |
|
Sig Fig Help |
1. All nonzero digits are significant. (2.23 g = 3 SF) 2. Zeroes between two significant figures are themselves significant. (1005 kg = 4 SF) 3. Zeroes at the beginning of a number are never significant. (0.0200 g = 3 SF) 4. Zeroes at the end of a number are significant if a decimal point is written in the number. |
|
Temperature conversions |
K= C + 273.15 C= 5/9(F - 32) F= 9/5 (C) + 32 Simplified: 9(c)=5(F) - 160 |
|
Dalton's Atomic Theory |
The postulates are; 1) Each element is composed of extremely small particles called atoms. 2) All atoms of a given element are identical, but the atoms off one elements are different from the atoms of all other elements. 3) Atoms of one element cannot be changed into atoms of a different element by chemical reactions; atoms are neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions. 4) compounds are formed when atoms of more than one element combine; a given compound always has the same relative number and kind of atoms. |
|
Law of Constant Composition |
In any given compound the relative numbers and kind of atoms are constant |
|
Law of Conservation of Mass |
The total mass of materials present after a reaction is the same as the total mass present before reaction. |
|
Law of Multiple Proportions |
If two elements, A & B combine to form more than one compound, the masses of B that can be combined with a given mass of A are in a ratio of small whole numbers |
|
What Experiments lead to the discovery of atomic structure. |
Thomson's Cathode Ray Experiments Millikan's Oil drop Experiments Rutherford's Experiments a) Radiation Experiments b) Gold Foil Experiment |
|
JJ Thomas info |
He used a magnet and a cathode ray in order to prove the existence of electrons |
|
Millikan's oil-drop |
Used Thomson's charge to mass ration to calculate the mass of an electron. Observed oil droplets suspended due to magnetism. Charge of an electron: 1.602 x 10^(-19) Mass of an Electron: 9.10 x 10^(-28) |
|
Rutherford Experiments |
Rutherford shot alpha particles at gold and some bounce back instead of going forward. Discovered the nucleus. used radiation to determine 3 types of radiation. Alpha Beta and Gamma |
|
Particles |
Proton Positive 1.0073 Neutron None 1.0087 Electron Negative 5.486 x 10^(-4) |
|
Periodic Law |
Certain elements can be groupedtogether by their similar physical appearance,properties, and chemical behavior |
|
Molecular (Covalent) Compounds |
Composed of molecules formed by atoms of two or nonmetal elements (No2). Electrons are shared to form covalent bonds. |
|
Ionic Compounds |
Compound composed of cations and anions combined in rations, yielding an electrically neutral substance. Electrons are transferred |
|
Periodic table groups |
Alkali metals Alkali earth metals Transition Metals Pnictogens Chalcogens Halogens Noble gasses |
|
Cation Vs Anion |
cations are positively charged ^+ +^ + Anions are negatively charged |
|
Avogadro's # |
6.02 x 1023 objects per 1 mole |
|
Practice Percent Composition |
|
|
Practice Conversions with moles |
|
|
Explain the relationship between moles, mass, and number of atoms or molecules |
When i say moles you say grams. The relationship between a mole and mass is Avogadro'sumber. It takes a theoretical amount of an atom or molecule and allows us to convert it into a measurable quantity. |
