Q

Chemical property

A

relates to a substance’s ability to undergo changes that transform it into different substances. EX. charcoal burning (it combines with oxygen to become carbon dioxide gas, the original substances don’t change).

15
Q

Chemical change

A
  • a change in which one or more substances are converted into different substances.
    EX. color change, odor change, production of gas/solids, and energy released/absorbed
16
Q

Chemical reaction:

A

mercury oxide –-> mercury + oxygen

17
Q

Reactants

A

the parts that make up a product.
a substance that takes part in and undergoes change during a reaction.

18
Q

Products

A

substances formed by the chemical combination/change.

19
Q

Endothermic

A

(of a reaction or process) accompanied by or requiring the absorption of heat.

20
Q

Exothermic

A

(of a reaction or process) accompanied by the release of heat

21
Q

Pure substances

A
  • can ONLY be an element or compound
  • has a fixed composition(same)
  • can be broken down into two or more simple compounds
22
Q

decomposing a compound

A
  • separation by electrolysis
  • separation by heating
23
Q

Mixtures

A
  • a blend of two or more kinds of matter, each which retain its own identity/properties
  • simple and complex
  • elements aren’t bounded
  • parts of a mixture can be separated
24
Q

Heterogeneous mixture

A

mixtures that are not uniform in the composition
different

25
Q

Homogeneous mixture

A

mixtures that are uniform in the composition
also known as solutions
the same
EX. brass

26
Q

separation a mixture

A
  • filtration
  • chromatography using a centrifuge
27
Q

Groups/families

A
  • the vertical columns on the table
  • each group has similar chemical properties
  • the two major categories is metals and nonmetals but also metalloids
28
Q

Periods

A
  • the horizontal rows on the periodic table
  • elements that are close in the same period are usually more similar
  • the two sets of elements placed below the table are called: lanthanide series and actinide series
    - these are all metallic elements
    placed below the table to keep it from getting too wide
29
Q

Metalloids

A

has intermediate properties between the metals and nonmetals, a mix.

30
Q

Main branches of chemistry and their differences

A

1) Organic chemistry; has to have carbon in it like organic molecules
EX. plastic
2) Inorganic chemistry; anything that doesn’t include carbon, molecules that aren’t carbon-based
3) Physical chemistry; learn about energy in the way of molecules and energy
EX. # of heat released, light absorbed, etc…
4) Biochemistry; all things living; dealing with living things
5) Analytical chemistry; identifying substances based on their properties, analyzing, and observing it.
6) Theoretical chemistry; when you use mathematical or computer models to explain the chemistry and show it.
EX. graphs, equations, etc…

31
Q

Role of technology in chemistry and research

A

In chemistry, technology is basically the use of chemistry for the development of new technologies.
In research, technology makes it more efficient, accurate, and accessible. They use technology to make data collection and analysis.

32
Q

How does energy change with changes in matter?

A

Depending on if it is a solid, liquid or gas, they are at different speeds and density.
When it is a solid, there is not as much energy because no molecules move compared to gas, the molecules have lots of energy, bouncing like crazy.

33
Q

Molecular and energy differences between states of matter

A

Solid - fixed particles, connected in a solid form with pretty much no movement
Liquid - rapid particle movement but closer and jumbled together
Gas - can take any shape and all of the molecules bounce off of each other, always moving

34
Q

Volume and shape differences between states of matter

A

Solid
Liquid
Gas

35
Q

How to classify matter

A

Pure substances:
can ONLY be an element of a compound
Mixtures:
a blend of two or more kinds of matter, each which retain its own identity/properties

36
Q

How is the periodic table set up/arranged

A

It is set up in groups/families and periods.
Groups/families:
vertical columns that help categorize it into metals, nonmetals, and metalloids. Also help put together elements with similar chemical properties. Periods:
the horizontal rows that have similar trends.

37
Q

Proprties of Metals

A

an element that is a good electrical and heat conductor
has malleability; can be hammered or rolled into thin sheets
is ductile; can be draw into a fine wire
has tensile strength; ability to resist breaking when pulled
most are silver/grayish white except; gold and copper
EX: iron, titanium, aluminum, copper, nickel, etc…

38
Q

Properties of Nonmetals

A
  • an element that is a poor conductor of heat and electricity
  • brittle
  • some are noble gases; usually unreactive
  • solid nonmetals: carbon, phosphorus, selenium, sulfur, and iodine
  • liquid nonmetals: bromine
