Chemistry

The study of Matter, its properties and changes it can undergo.

Reactants

The materials present at the start of a reaction.

Products

The materials created in a chemical reaction.

Matter

Anything that has mass and volume.

Mass

Amount of material in a substance. Measured in grams (g)

Volume

Space occupied by an object.



Pure chemistry

Deals with describing known substances and discovering new compounds.

Applied chemistry

Is the search for the uses for chemical substances.

Chemists

Discover new materials and their properties

Technologists

Adapt materials to meet your needs.

HHPS

Hazardous Household Products Symbols - 4 symbols used on household products.

WHMIS (Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System)

Designed to warn people of the hazards associated with chemical substances in the workplace.

MSDS (Materials Safety Data Sheet)

Each package of chemicals purchased in a school laboratory comes with a MSDS which lists nine categories or sections of information.

DOT symbols

Symbols are diamond shaped with numbers.

Ionic bond

Transfer of electrons between atoms

Covalent bond

Sharing of electrons between atoms

Atom

The smallest part of matter

Molecules

Combination of 2 or more atoms.

Elements

Are substances composed of only one type of atom. All atoms are the same in the substance.




Note: Elements cannot be broken down into simpler substances.

Monoatomic elements

Are elements consisting of single atoms




Note: All metals in the periodic table are monoatomic.

Compound

A molecule that contains two or more different types of atoms or ions.

Formula

A formula shows the number and types of atoms in a substance.




Ex: H2O = There are 2 elements which means that H2O is also a compound and a molecule.




There are a total of 3 atoms, 2 Hydrogen atoms, and 1 Oxygen atom.

Molecular formula

Indicates the total number of atoms in one molecule.




Ex: H2O = 3 total atoms, 2 Hydrogen atoms, and 1 Oxygen atom.

Empirical formula

The simplest whole number ratio of atoms in the compound.




EX: C6H12O6 = CH2O 1:2:1

IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry)

This organization has determined a set of rules to be used for naming chemicals. Its purpose is to set international guidelines so that all scientist follow the same rules.


Chemical bonding

Chemical bonding is the force of attraction between atoms.

Metalloid

A non metallic element, such as Arsenic, that has some of the chemical properties of a metal or such as carbon that can form an alloy with metals.

Covalent bonding

Bonding that occurs between nonmetal atoms.






A force of attraction causes the bond.




There is a sharing of electrons between the atoms.



Covalent

Sharing of valence electrons.




(Might not be right.)

The unit formed by a covalent bond is called a molecule is neutral it has no charge.

The unit formed by a covalent bond is called a molecule is neutral it has no charge.

Ionic bonding

A bond caused by a force of attraction between metal and nonmetal ions.





Ion

A charged particle. An atom with a charge.


Ex Na atom Na+ = ion

There are two types of charges on ions

There are two types of charges on ions

Positive charges are called

Cations.




Ex Ca2+, Na1+, H1+

Negative charges are called

Anions




Ex O2-, N3-, Cl1-

How are ions created?

Ions are created when atoms gain or lose electrons.




This causes an imbalance between the number of protons (+) and electrons (-) in an atom resulting in a charge on the atom.



Metal atoms lose electrons to become positively charged ions.

Metal atoms lose electrons to become positively charged ions.

Nonmetal atoms gain electrons to become negatively charged.

Nonmetal atoms gain electrons to become negatively charged.

Polyatomic ions

These are ions that exist as a group of atoms held together. There is only one charge (+ or -) on the entire group.




These are not found in the periodic table but in the table of polyatomic ions.
