The study of matter, it's properties, and it's changes or transformations

Chemistry

Anything that has mass and takes up space.

Matter

This is a characteristic or description of a substance (including the state of matter at room temperature, hardness, melting and boiling points, solubility, etc) that can be used to identify it.

Physical property

This is the characteristic behavior that occurs when a substance interacts with one another to become a new substance.

Chemical property

This is when all the particles that make up the substance are the same (this type of substance has constant properties)

Pure substance

These are pure substances that cannot be broken down into simpler substances.

Elements

These are a type of pure substances that contain two or more different elements in a fixed proportion.

Compounds

This type of change is in the size or form of a substance, which does not change the chemical property of the substance

Physical change

This is the alteration of a substance into one or more different substances with different properties.

Chemical change or reaction

These are the starting materials in a chemical reaction.

Reactant

These are the substances produced in a chemical reaction

Products

This is a distinctive chemical reaction that can be used to identify an unknown substance

Chemical test

This gas is indicated by a lit splint bursting into flames.

Oxygen gas

This gas is indicated if the flaming splint "pops"

Hydrogen (H2)

This gas is indicated if line water turns milky

Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

This is a structured arrangement of elements

Periodic table

This is a substance that can conduct electricity when it is dissolved in water.

Electrolyte

This is a compound that does not conduct electricity

Nonelectrolyte

Located on the left side of the table

Metals

Located on the right side of the table

Non-metals

This is a charged atom in which the number of electrons is different from the number of protons

Ion

This is the numerical value of the electric charge with a plus or minus sign.

Ionic charge

These are formed by the addition of electrons to, or the removal of electrons from the atom.

Ions

The combination of two or more elements

Molecules

A molecular element has

All atoms the same.

This formula is the simplest whole number ratio of atoms in the compound.

Empirical formula

This is a chemical formula that indicates the number and type of atoms in one molecule

A molecular formula

These are compounds formed by the combination of two or more atoms held together by covalent bonds.

Molecular compounds

This is a bond formed by two or more non-metal atoms sharing one or more pairs of electrons

Covalent bond

This is the combining capacity of an element.

Valence

Is is a solid compound that contains water molecules as part of the solid crystalline structure.

Hydrate

Positively charged ions are called

Cations

Negatively charged ions are called

Anions

These are groups of elements in the same vertical column of the periodic table

Chemical families

The elements in the far left column of the periodic table are known as

Alkali metals or group 1

Group 2

Alkaline earth metals

Group 17

Halogens

Group 18

Noble gases

Three types of subatomic particles:

Electrons, protons and neutrons

These are heavily positively charged particles found in a dense positive core of the atom

Protons

These are neutral particles that have about the same mass as protons.

Neutrons

These are negatively charged particles with almost no mass that orbit the nucleus.

Electrons

The number of electrons in an atom must be equal to

Protons

These compounds are (metals +non-metals) and (metals + polyatomic ion) and named with the metal first then the nonmetal ending in -ide

Ionic compounds

This is a charged species composed of two or more atoms covalently bonded that acts as a single unit.

Polyatomic ion

These are compounds formed when hydrogen combines with polyatomic ions that contain oxygen.

Oxyacids

Metal + non-metal or metal + polyatomic ion =

Ionic compounds

Nonmetal + nonmetal or hydrogen + nonmetal =

Covalent compounds
