Chemistry 10 review Flashcards
(119 cards)
Matter
anything that has mass and volume
Pure substances
cannot be broken down into any other substances
Compounds
combination of 2 or more elements
elements
composed of only one type of atom
Mixture
combination of 2 or more compounds
Heterogeneous mixtures
contains 2 or more substances with VISIBLE parts
Colloid
cannot be easily separated, cloudy mixture. LIQUID IN LIQUID
ex: milk
Suspension
can be easily separated. SOLID IN LIQUID
ex: mud (water+soil)
Mechanical mixture
different substances are visible
ex: salad
Homogenous mixture (solution)
all substances are uniform throughout and there’s no distinctive visible parts. Appears to be 1
Properties
characteristics used to describe a substance
Physical properties
observable physical characteristics of a substance.
ex: boiling/melting points, conductivity, malleability, ductility, state, solubility, melting/freezing point
Chemical properties
how a substance reacts with other substances
ex: reaction with acid/water/air/heat, litmus paper, ability to burn, temperature to ignite a flame (flash point)
Chemical change
new substances are formed after chemical reactions. Chemical components CHANGE
ex: change in temperature, precipitate, light, odour, colour
Chemical reactions
one or more substance react to form new substance(s)
Indicators of chemical change
energy flow, formation of gas, precipitate, formation of new substances w/ different properties
Atom
smallest part of an element. NEUTRAL. has protons, neutrons, electrons.
ex: oxygen atom
Subatomic particles
particles that make up an atom. PROTONS, NEUTRONS, ELECTRONS
Protons
(+) charged particles, atomic number, found in nucleus, heavy, never change
Neutrons
no charge, belongs to nucleus, heavy, can change (isotope)
Electrons
(-) charge particles, no mass, found in electron cloud/energy levels, can change (ion)
Nucleons
Particles found in the nucleus: protons and neutrons
Metals
elements on the left side of staircase, cations, (+) charge, give away electrons
Metal properties
Ductile, malleable, conductive, shiny, hard, reactive
