What is matter
|
matter is anything that has mass or volume.. everything is made of matter
|
|
matter in relation to mass is...
|
the amount of matter in an object
|
|
matter in relation to volume is..
|
the amount of spcae the object takes up
|
|
elements
|
simplest forms of matter, atleast 109 elements
|
|
Living organisms are made of 6 elements
|
Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Phosporus, Nitrogen, Sulfur
|
|
Atoms
|
basic building block of matter, retains characteristics of element
|
|
nucleus of an atom is made up of
|
protons and neutrons
|
|
protons have a ____ charge
|
+ postitive
|
|
neutrons have a _____ charge
|
neutral/none
|
|
electrons have a ______ charge
|
-/njegative
|
|
electrons are located...
|
in electron cload/shells and it determines the activitiy of an atom
|
|
isotope
|
atom with odd number of neutrons then usual
|
|
Ion
|
a form of an element with an amount of electrons that differs from the original amount
|
|
Chemical reactions
|
making and breaking of chemical bonds
|
|
a chemical bond holds....
|
compounds and molecules together
|
|
bonding is determined....
|
electron activity
|
|
chemical reactions involves
|
changing of the properties of matter
|
|
cheimcal reactions turn reactants into,....
|
products
|
|
Activation energy
|
initial amount of energy needed to get a cheimcal reactiion started
|
|
dehydration synthesis
|
a chemical reaction when molecules combine by removing water
|
|
Name 2 ways to recognize dehydration synthesis
|
1. two or smaller molecusled combine to make a bigger molecule
2. water is always leftover |
|
Hydrolysis
|
a chemical reaction is=n which molecules split with addition of water
|
|
2 ways to recognize hydrolysis
|
1. a larger molecule becomes 2 or more smaller molecutes
2. water is used to break the larger molecule |
|
ion
|
an atom with a charge due to gain/loss of electrons
|
|
ionic bonds
|
"opposite attracts"
a strong attraction of a positively charged ion toward a negatively charged ion |
|
positivlely charged ion
|
caTion
|
|
negatively charged ion
|
anion
|
|
covalent bonds
|
the sharing of electrons between atoms in a compound or molecule
|
|
purpose of a covalent bond
|
it requires to much energy to gain/loss electron, so instead share electron
|
|
Polarity
|
uneven distribution in a COVALENT BOND, resultin in partial charge at either end
|
|
what causes polarity
|
electrons not shared equally, so slight charge on ends
|
|
hydrogen bond
|
a weak attraction between polar molecules
|
|
compound
|
a substance that is formed when atoms of different elements combine chemcally
had different properties then original elements |
|
molecule
|
a particle in which atoms are held together by a connection called a covalent bond.... covalent bonds occur when 2 or more atoms share electrons rather thean trading them
|
|
isomers
|
compounds with same molecular formulas but different structural arangment
|
|
mixtures
|
a combination of substances, in which individual components retain own properites. the substances do no form bonds, and can be seperated
|
|
solution
|
a mixture in which one ore more substances is distributed evenly in another
|
|
suspension
|
a mixture in which particles of material are temporarily mixed together
|
|
colloid
|
a mixture in which the particles are permanently suspended as a gel
|
|
inorganic substances
|
compounds withouth carbon and hydrogen together
|
|
3 main inorganic substances
|
water, acids/bases, salt
|
|
Monomer
|
a subunit that acts as a building block for larger molecules
|
|
polymer
|
a very large molecule consisting of repeated linked units
|
|
Carbon
|
an element that makes up a large portion of living things, most of the mass is made of carbon based compounds
|
|
organic substances consist of
|
compounds of carbon and hydrogen together
|
|
4 types of organic substances
|
carboyhydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids
|
|
carbohydrates
|
sugars and starches
|
|
