24
What do chemical equations not show?
How the atoms are connected
25
What shows atomic connections and shaped
Structural formulas and molecular models
26
Chemical bond
Energy that holds 2 atoms together
27
Structural bond
Shows atoms and bonds between them
28
Ball and stick models
Spheres are he atoms and sticks are the bonds and it shows the correct bonds
29
Disadvantas of ball and stick
Not always to scale | Farther apart than real molecule
30
Space filling models
Spheres are to scale and are spaced accordingly to real molecule
31
Disadvantage to space filling
Bond angles are hard to see
32
Filtration
Separating particles suspended in liquid or gas from the liquid or gas by passing the mixture through a medium that retains the particles
33
Layer chromatography(tlc)
Can separate pigments dissolved in a solution
34
Distillation
Separation which more easily vaporized components of a mixture are vaporized
35
Intensive properties
Property independent of the amount of a substance
36
Examples of intensive
Color density smell melting point
37
Extensive property
Properties matter with quantity
38
Examples of extensive
Volume and mass
39
Physical properties
Properties that can be observed or measured without changing substance
40
Examples of physical properties
Luster, hardness, color
41
Free elements
Elements found in nature
42
Chemical property
Property of a substance only observed by a chemical reaction
43
Examples of chemical property
Flammability
44
Solid
Definite shape and volume
45
Liquid
Definite volume
46
Gas
Expands to occupy volume and shape
47
Sublimation
Solid to a gas
48
Deposition
Gas to a solid
49
Scientific method
Acquiring knowledge based on observations of phenomena, development of hypothesis and experiments to test the hypothesis
50
Hypothesis
Explanation for an observation
51
Scientific theory model
Explanation of widely observed phenomena that's texted and validated
52
Is there a limit to how accurate a measurement can be?
No
53
Greater number of sig figs equals
Greater certainty of the value
54
Where is there uncertainty in a sig fig
Right most digit
55
Weak link principle
We only know the answer as well as we know the least well known value
56
Multiplication/ division of sig figs
Weak link has fewest sig figs
57
If the last digit in a sig fig is greater than 5
Round up
58
If the right most digit in a dig fig is less than 5
Round down
59
If the right most digit in a sig fig is 5
If it's nonzero to the right round up | If there is no nonzero round to the nearest even number
60
Precision
How repeatable a measurement is
61
Accuracy
Reflects how close a measured value is to a true value
62
Conversion factors
Different units, same quantities
63
The Big Bang theory
The universe is expanding and cooling
64
Conversion for Fahrenheit to Celsius
5/9(f-32)
65
Coldest temperate
Absolute zero which is on the Kelvin scale
66
Conversion of Celsius to kelvin
K=c+273.15
67
Robert dicke
Wanted to invent an antenna I detect microwave energy from space
68
Us creates the echo and Telstar
They were communication satellites that were reflective and bounced microwave signals to earth
69
Antenna receivers by bell laboratories
The antenna didn't work and picked up other signals
70
What did the bell laboratories discover?
Cosmic microwave background radiation in the universe
71
Cosmic background explorer
Launched and found heterogeneity and supports Big Bang theory
72
Seed clusters
Blobs and ripples in images from satellites indicate clusters of stars and planets formed early in the universe, theory no evidence
