Q

Solvent

A

The part of the solution present in the largest amount

20
Q

Solute

A

part in the smaller amount

21
Q

Saturated

A

Where so much solute has been added that no more dissolves

22
Q

Concentrated

A

More of the solute is dissolved into the solution

23
Q

Weight formula

A

Mass in kg x 9.8 m/s2= N

24
Q

Chemical equation

A

A shorter easier way to show chemical reactions using symbols

25
Symbol
A 1-2 letter set of characters used to identify an element
26
Chemical formula
Represent compounds
27
Subscript
Used to represent the number of atoms of each kind in a compound
28
Chemical reaction
when a chemical change takes place
29
Chemical bond
force of attraction between two atoms
30
Reactant
the materials you have in the beginning (of a chemical equation)
31
Product
what you have after the chemical reaction takes place
32
Electrolysis
the chemical reaction commonly used to break down a copper compound 1. Copper compound is dissolved in water to form a solution 2. Two metal strips called electrodes are placed in the copper compound solution 3. Each electrode is attached to a wire, which is connected to a battery 4. When the current is turned on, one elctrde attracts copper and one attracts the other materials 5. the first electrode will become coated with copper
33
Solid
a substance with particles that are tightly packed together and stay in fixed positions, has definite shape and volume, particles vibrate in place
34
Liquid
substance in which particles are free to move, has no definite shape, but definite volume
35
Gas
A substance whose particles spread apart, filling all the space available to them, can be easily compressed and has no definite shape or volume
36
Fluid
a substance that can flow (liquid and gas)
37
Changes of state
Melting, freezing, vaporization(evaporation and boiling, lower air pressure, less energy need to boil), condensation, sublimation(when a solid changes directly into a gas, no liquid state)
38
Endothermic reaction
absorbs energy in the form of heat
39
Exothermic reaction
releases energy in the form of heat
40
Activation energy
the minimum amount of energy needed to start a chemical reaction
41
Amorphous solid
solid in which the particles are not arranged in a regular pattern, does not have a distinct melting point, gradually gets softer and softer
42
Crystalline solid
solid made of particles that form regular repeating patterns, creating crystals, has a distinct melting point
43
Surface tension
the result of the inward pull among the molecules of a liquid that brings the molecules on the surface closer
44
Viscosity
the resistance of a liquid to flowing
45
Chemistry
the study of the properties of matter and how matter changes
