study of matter and the changes it undergoes
Chemistry
Chemistry is the study of matter and the changes it undergoes. These changes can be broken down into two classes
Physical Change and Chemical change
Grinding, melting, dissolving, and evaporating all are all what kind of change
Physical Change
change results in the formation of one or more “new” substances. These new substances differ in chemical properties and composition from the original substance
Chemical Change
The rusting of iron and the burning of paper are two examples of
Chemical Change
an insoluble solid that emerges from a liquid solution
Precipitate
The emergence of the insoluble solid from solution is called
Precipitation
Often the precipitate emerges as a
Suspension
this can form when two soluble salts react in solution to form one or more insoluble products
Precipitates
can also form insoluble solid when the temperature of a solution is lowered
precipitate
reduce the solubility of salts, which may result in their precipitation as solids
Lower Temperature
the formation of gas bubbles in a liquid by a chemical reaction
Effervescence
the release of carbon dioxide which bubbles as a gas from the liquid when limestone chips, which are composed of calcium carbonate, are added to dilute hydrochloric acid. It is an example of
Effervescence
process resulting from random motion of molecules by which there is a net flow of matter from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration
Diffusion
meaning that this is completely saturated with carbon dioxide (CO2). Thus, the fizz is not effervescence, not a chemical change.
Carbonated drinks, such as soda, are in a state of supersaturation
theorized that electrons have specific energy values
Bohr
Bohr theorized that electrons have specific energy values, which he called
Energy levels
meaning that only specific energy levels were possible around the nucleus of an atom
Quantized
can absorb energy and undergo a transition to a higher energy level
electron in a low energy level
True or False: Electrons move between energy levels by gaining or losing a specific amounts of energy. When this occurs, we say that the electron undergoes a transition from one energy level to another.
True
When that electron returns to the ground state, what will happen
it loses energy by emitting a photon
which is a tiny particle that behaves like a wave and travels at the speed of light
photon
a procedure used to test qualitatively for the presence of certain metals in chemical compounds
flame test
the presence of a potassium ion in a compound will color a flame
violet
