Chapter 3 Flashcards
What is the study of matter and the changes it undergoes
Chemistry
What is the part of the universe that has both mass and volume
Matter
Materials that cannot be broken down by physical methods are called
Pure substances
What are pure substances have
Constant composition
What are the three things that you need to know about elements
Smallest unit atom
Found on the periodic table
Cannot be broken down
What are the five things that u need to know about compounds
They are two or more different elements that are chemically bonded together
smallest unit molecule
can be broken down
governed by the law of constant composition
the process of being broken down is called decomposition
what does the law of constant composition state
the law of constant composition states that elements combine in certain fixed whole number ratios in order to form compounds. the implication of this is if you change the ratio you change the compound.
what is it called when elements combine to form a compound
synthesis
what does decomposition need to occur
energy
what are the types of energy
heat
electricity
pressure
what are the three things that you need to know about mixtures
they are two or more pure substances physically bonded together
they have a variable composition
can be separated by physical methods
what are the things that you need to know for a homogeneous mixture
same disposition
same
no layers
solution
what are the things that you need to know for the heterogeneous mixture
layers
different disposition
different
what are the two types of properties
physical and chemical properties
what is the information that you need to know about the physical properties
the characteristics of matter that can be changed without changing its composition.
no new matter forms
the property describes when the changes will occur
