CHEMISTRY Flashcards
(154 cards)
Is the study of matter, its proerties, how and why substances combine or separate to form other substances, and how substances interact with energy
Chemistry
Branches of Chemistry (5)
Deals with the separation, identification and quantification of chemical substances (analytes) in a gicven sample
Analytical chemistry
Branches of Chemistry (5)
Studies the physical properties of chemical compounds using laws and concepts of physics, such as motion, energy, force, time, thermodynamics, quantum chemistry, statistical mechanics and dynamics
Physical Chemistry
Branches of Chemistry (5)
Studies the structure, composition, and chemical reactions of chemical components of living systems (plants, insects, viruses, microoragnisms, and mammals) to understand how and why chemical reaction occur in them.

This refers to the closeness of a measured value to a standard or known value
Accuracy
This refers to closeness of two or more measurements to each other aka repeatability
Precision
Is anything that occupies physical space and has mass and inertia
Matter
What are the 2 kinds of Matter?
Pure substance and Mixture
2 kinds of matter
Has contant composition and properties are constant throughout the sample (one set of properties)
ex. melting point, color, boiling point
Pure substance
2 kinds of matter
Combination of two or more substances that are not chemically united and do not exist in fixed proportions to each other
ex. most natural substances
Mixtures
2 kinds of matter:
2 Types of Pure Substances
Elements and Compounds
2 Types of Pure Substances
Substance made up of two or more different elemnts that are joined together in a fixed ratio
Compound
2 Types of Pure Substances: Compound
3 types of compounds
- Ionic compounds
- Covalent Compounds
- Covalent Network Substances
3 types of compounds
Are compounds composed of disscrete ions or charged species
Ionic compounds
3 types of compounds: Ionic Compound
Familiarize the properties of ionic compounds
2 Types of Pure Substances
- Solid
- High melting and boiling points
- Soluble in polar liquids like water (not in nonpolar)
- Hard
- Very reactive
3 types of compounds
Molecule formed by covalent bonds
Covalent compound
Bonds
Type of bond which atoms share one or more pairs of valence electrons
Covalent bond
3 types of compounds
Familiarize the properties of Covalent Compound
- High volatility
- Weak bonds
- Insoluble in water/polar liequids
- Low melting point
- Form a molecule
- Form between two nonmetals
