Mixture
a material that has unlike parts and a composition that varies
Mixture
Can be separated into its components by physical means
Physical Change
a change that does not alter the identity of matter
Mixture
Can be heterogeneous and homogeneous
Pure Substance
a material that is the same throughout. it has a fixed, definite composition
Element
a substance that can not be broken down by chemical or physical means
Compound
a substance that can be broken down into simpler substances by a chemical change
Chemical Change
a change where a new substance is formed. it alters the identity of the matter
Atom
the smallest unit of an element. it can exist alone or in combination with other elements
Chemical Bond
an attractive force that binds individual atoms together in a compound
Molecule
the smallest particle of a compound that can exist and still retain the characteristic chemical properties of a substance
chemical reaction
A change in matter in which different chemical substances are created by forming or breaking chemical bonds
chemical equation
can be used to represent a chemical reaction
Valence Electrons
electrons in the outermost orbital
Valence Electrons
They participate in chemical bonding and determine the chemical properties of an atom.
Inner-shell Electrons
do not participate in bonding. in stable, fully occupied orbitals
Octet Rule
Atoms will attempt to acquire an outer orbital with eight electrons.
Ionic
formed when atoms transfer electrons to get noble gas configurations
Ionic bond
positive and negative ions are formed and because oppositely charged, an electrostatic attraction arises
Ionic bond
a bond generally made from metal + nonmetal
Covalent
achieve noble gas configuration by sharing electrons
Covalent bond
a bond generally made from a nonmetal + nonmetal
Metallic
bonds formed in solid metals with an electron sea
Formula
describes what elements are in the compound and in what proportions
If an ionic compound is made with a transition metal
it may be a colored, crystalline solid.
Polyatomic Ions
charged group of atoms that act as a single unit in ionic compounds. They are held together by covalent bonds.
Covalent Bond
a chemical bond formed by the sharing of a pair of electrons
Diatomic Molecules
H2, O2, N2, F2, Cl2, Br2, I2
Lewis Structures
structures that represent covalently bonded compounds
lone pairs
pair of electrons that belong exclusively to a particular atom, represented by 2 dots
shared pairs
electrons being shared by both atoms in the bond, represented by a dash
Single Bond
a covalent bond with one shared pair of electrons (2 e-)
Double Bond
a covalent bond when two pairs of electrons (4 e-) are shared by two atoms
Triple Bond
a covalent bond when three pairs of electrons (6 e-) are shared by two atoms
Chemical Equation
a concise way of describing a chemical reaction
Law of Conservation of Mass
matter can neither be created or destroyed in ordinary chemical reactions
Oxidation-Reduction Reaction (redox)
a reaction in which electrons are transferred from one atom to another
Oxidation
part of redox reaction in which there is a loss if e-
Reduction
part of redox reaction in which there is a gain of e-
Oxidizing agents
substances that take electrons from other substances
Reducing agents
supplies electrons to the substance being reduced
Combustion Reaction
a rapid reaction with oxygen that releases energy, usually observed with a flame
Single Replacement
an atom or polyatomic ion is replaced in a compound by a different atom or polyatomic ion
General Format for Single Replacement reactions
negative- XY + Z >>> XZ + Y
positive - XY + A >>> AY + X
Ion Exchange
reaction that takes place when the ions of one compound interact with the ions of another compound
Commonly formed in an ion exchange
a.) a precipitate (a solid that comes out of solution) b.) gas c.) water
General format for Ion Echange
AX + BY >>> AY + BX
An Example of an Ion Exchange Reaction
Acid / Base Reaction
Double Replacement
another name for Ion Exchange
Reaction rates are affected by
1.) Concentration of reactants 2.) Temperature 3.) The surface area of the reaction
Catalyst
a material that speeds up a chemical reaction without being permanently changed by the reaction
Catalyst
works by lowering activation energy
