Chemical Building Blocks Flashcards
(27 cards)
True or False:
Matter is made of particles
True
Define Matter
Anything that takes up space and has mass
Order of parts of matter
Compound Molecule Element Atom Subatomic Particle
3 physical properties of an iron nail
Pointy, flat top, ~4 inches long
Chemical Property of Iron Nail
Rusty
What do molecules of solid look like
Clumped together, bonded tightly
Molecules of a liquid?
Loosely connected
Molecules of a gas?
Not connected
What does section A rep? (Osage change graph)
Solid
Kinetic
What does section B rep? (Osage change graph)
Melting / Freezing point
Potential
What does section C rep? (Osage change graph)
Liquid
Kinetic
What does section D rep? (Osage change graph)
Boiling / Condensing point
Potential
What does section E rep? (Osage change graph)
Gas
Kinetic
Explain movement in molecules has heat is added / what is happening when substances are at melting points
Has heat increases, molecules jump more
How are chemical / Physical changes similar?
Both changes in a substance
How are Physical / Chemical changes different?
Chemical - Changes particles
Physical - changes appearance
How do you draw an atom?
- Find Protons and Neutrons, put in middle and circle
2. Do number of electrons on outer circle.. Remember the hotel!!!
History of the atom?
First believed as earth, air, water, fire
Medeleev developed Periodic Table after rise of evidence of atoms (experiments)
How do you find Valence Electrons?
Take 1s digit
What element is mostly on the “staircase”? What are some properties?
Metalloids
- Solids can be dull or shiny
- Conduct heat and electricity better than no metals butt not as well as metals
- Ductile and malleable
Where are Metals located? What are some characteristics?
Left of “staircase”
- Have Luster
- conductors of elec.
- high density
- high melting points
- ductile (wire)
- most are Malleable (thin sheets)
Where are non metals located? What are some characteristics?
Right of “staircase”
- No luster
- do not heat or elec.
- brittle
- non malleable
- lower densities and lower melting points than metals
Group 1 state of matter and chemical reactivity
(Alkali Metals)
- most active metals
- not pure naturally (bond with other elements)
- burst into flames when in water
- lose 1 electron when forming compounds
Group 2 state of matter and chemical reactivity
(Alkaline Earth Metals)
- less reactive than alkali metals
- form white compounds
- used in fireworks
- lose 2 electrons when forming compound
