Who said the quote "Chemistry begins in the stars. The stars are the source of the chemical elements, which are the building blocks of matter and the core of our subject."?

Peter Atkins

Chemistry begins where?

in the stars

what is the source of chemical elements?

the stars

what are the building blocks of matter and the core of chemistry?

chemical elements

It can be a synonym of matter

chemical

it is anything that has mass

chemical

give some examples of everyday substances that is included as a chemical

water, caffeine, sugar, elements on the periodic table, large molecules such as deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), polymers such as plastics

These are the building blocks that create the world surrounding us, whether they are naturally occurring or man-made

Elements

these are everywhere

chemicals

true or false: chemical-free products do exist

false

why does chemical-free products not exist? (1 paragraph minimum eme)

because anything you touch is matter, and is therefore a chemical

if you cannot pronounce the name of a chemical, is it bad for you? why or why not?

No, it is not bad for you. The names of chemicals does not relate to how hazardous they are or to their origin

true or false: chemists can produce natural products synthetically in their labs

true

the dangers of products depends on ___, but not their origin

their structure

true or false: synthetic products created in laboratories are more hazardous than chemicals found in nature

false: they are not necessarily more or less hazardous

It is a powerful and innovative tool, yet it has to be used wisely

Chemistry

It is defined as a material which cannot be broken down or changed into another substance using chemical means.

Element

It may be thought of as the basic building blocks of matter

Element

It is a substance consisting of only one type of atom.

chemical element/element

The identity of a chemical reaction cannot be changed by any ___

chemical reaction

Only a ___ can transmute one element into another one

nuclear reaction

what do elements consist of?

Subatomic particles

elements = what?

atoms

There are how many known elements?

118

All matter consists of particles called ___

atoms

atoms bond to each other to form ___

elements

elements contains only how many kinds of atom/s

only one kind

Atoms of different elements form ____

compounds, molecules, and objects

what are the parts of an atom

electron, protons, neutrons

___ have a positive electrical charge and are found together with neutrons in the nucleus of each atom

protons

___ have no electrical charge and is found in the nucleus of each atom

Neutrons

___ orbits the nucleus

Electrons

These are the smallest particles that make up elements

Atoms

Atoms bonded together form what?

Compounds

An ___ is a basic chemical building block of matter

Atom

Only ___ can break apart atoms

Nuclear reactions

What are some examples of nuclear reactions

Radioactive decay and nuclear fission

chemicals = what?

matter

Chemical reactions involves what?

The electrons of an atom

Nuclear reactions involves what?

the nucleus of an atom (protons and neutrons)

reaction can be shortened to what?

rxn

chemical or nuclear rxn?: one substance is converted to another, but atoms never change identity

Chemical rxn

chemical or nuclear rxn?: only electrons take part in the rxn

Chemical rxn

chemical or nuclear rxn?: only a small amount of energy is evolved during the reaction

chemical rxn

chemical or nuclear rxn?: reaction rates are influenced by temperature, concentration and catalyst

chemical rxn

chemical or nuclear rxn?: atoms of one element are converted into atoms of another element

nuclear rxn

chemical or nuclear rxn?: the nucleus of an element takes part in the reaction

nuclear rxn

chemical or nuclear rxn?: reaction rates depend on the concentration of the element, but are not influenced by temperature, or catalysts

nuclear rxn

What are the reaction rates of a chemical reaction influenced by?

temperature, concentration, and catalyst

What are the reaction rates of a nuclear reaction influenced by?

concentration of the element only

What are the 2 fundamental nuclear processes involved in creating new chemical elements

fusion and fission

these are both nuclear phenomena that release a large amount of energy

Nuclear fusion and fission

It is a process where a small nuclei are forced together to form a nucleus

Fusion

What are forced together to form a nucleus?

small nuclei

It is where a large nucleus is broken down into simpler pieces to make lighter elements

Fission

The abundance of chemical elements in the universe is dominated by the large amounts of hydrogen and helium which where produced in what?

the big bang

Remaining elements, making up only 2% of the universe, were largely produced by certain ___ and ___

supernovae and certain red giants

These three elements are rare because although they are produced by nuclear fusion, they are then destroyed by other reactions in the stars

Lithium, beryllium, and boron

Why are lithium, beryllium, and boron rare?

Because they are destroyed by other reactions in the stars after being produced

the elements from carbon to iron are relatively more common in the universe because of the ease of making them in ___

supernova nucleosynthesis

Elements of higher atomic number than iron (element 26) become progressively more rare in the universe. Why?

Because they increasingly absorb stellar energy in being produced

Each element may be represented by its __ or __

atomic number or symbol

true or false: the names and symbols for the elements are always the same in common use in various countries.

false: it may be different

Of the 118 known elements, how many are known to occur naturally on Earth?

94

elements that don't naturally occur on Earth are called what?

synthetic elements

The numbers of neutrons in an element determines its ___

isotope

we are how many percent star stuff and water

38% star stuff and 53% water

who said the quote "The meeting of 2 personalities is like the contact of 2 chemical substances: if there are any reaction, both are transformed."

C.G. Jung

chemical or nuclear rxn?: a large amount of energy is evolved during the reaction

nuclear rxn

The IUPAC has agreed on a set of names and symbols for the elements. What does IUPAC stand for?

The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry
