29
Q

what is a chemical equation

A

reactant substances undergoing changes written out to see the change EX: 2HgO –> 2Hg + O2

30
Q

law of mass conservation definiton

A

mass is neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactants

31
Q

law of definite proportions definiton

A

different samples of a pure chemical compound always contains the same proportions of the elements by mass

32
Q

law of multiple proportions definiton

A

elements can combine in different ways to form different chemical compounds, whose mass ratios are simple WHOLE NUMBER multiplier of each other

33
Q

what is Dalton’s theory

A

elements are made up of atoms
same mass of elements = same element
atoms never change, just their ratios

34
Q

what are atoms

A

tiny particles that make up elements

35
Q

what is Thompson’s experiment

A

Cathode-ray tube–
high voltage electric currents going from a negative electrode, to a positive electrode. Proposed electrons were in the metals

36
Q

3 things that affect magnetic deflection

A

strength of deflecting magnet
size of negative charge on electron
mass of electron

37
Q

what is an ionic bond

A

share electrons by transferring 1+ of them

38
Q

what are ions

A

charged particles

39
Q

what are cations

A

positive ions, (by losing electrons)

40
Q

what are anions

A

(by gaining electrons)

41
Q

Are cations typically metals or nonmetals?

A

Metals

42
Q

are anions typically metals or nonmetals?

A

nonmetals

43
Q

what is an ionic solid

A

equal numbers of ions packed together with opposite attractions EX: Na+ & Cl-

44
Q

what are polyatomic ions?

A

charged covalent groups of atoms

45
Q

what are binary ionic compounds

A

2+ elements in a ionic compound

46
Q

When writing a binary ionic compound, how do you write it?

A

positive ion 1st
negative ion 2nd
add “ide” at the end

47
Q

what two categories fall under pure substances

A

elements and chemical compounds

48
Q

what experiment did Millikan conduct

A

mist voltage experiment and found electron mass

49
Q

What was Rutherford’s experiment?

A

found nucleus in atoms by shooting alpha particles through foil & and having some of them reflect

50
Q

nucleus defintion

A

tiny central core in atom

51
Q

what is the nucleus composed of?

A

Protons and electrons. elements differ in size of nucleus based on how many they have

52
Q

proton defintion

A

positively charged; opposite charge of electron

53
Q

neutron defintion

A

no charge, equal mass to protons

54
Q

atomic number defintion

A

number of protons IN the nucleus and number of neutrons AROUND the nucleus
EX: helium= atomic number 2= 2 protons

55
Q

mass number defintion

A

number of protons and neutrons in an atom

56
Q

isotope defintion

A

identical atomic number but diff. mass and diff. amounts of neutrons

57
Q

atomic mass defintion

A

specific atom’s mass; numerically close to mass number

58
Q

atomic weight defintion

A

average of natural isotope masses of an element

59
Q

how do you mathematically find atomic weight of an element?

A

(element 1 mass)(abundance) + (element 2 mass)(abundance)

60
Q

what is a mole

A

SI unit for amount

61
Q

what is molar mass

A

amount of mass of an element in grams to moles
