4 phases of matter
solid
liquid
gas
plasma (lightning or TV screen)
mass
the amount of matter contained in an object, NOT WEIGHT
Law of Conservation of Matter
matter cannot be created or destroyed, physical or chemical changes can occur but the total amount of matter stays the same
element vs compound
element - pure in the sense that it is exclusively one thing
compound - can be further broken down, like metal oxides
two types of mixtures
heterogeneous (trail mix)
homogenius - solution, fully mixed together
physical property
not associated with chemical composition change
like density, color, hardness
NO CHEMICAL IDENTITY
chemical property
change in chemical composition
flammability, acidity, reactivity
intensive vs extensive properties
extensive - depends on amount (mass or volume)
intensive - same regardless of amount (temp, color, density)
7 SI units
My kind sister Amy keeps many coins
meter
kg
second
amp (electric current)
kelvin (temp)
mole
candela (light density)
rounding rule when adding
keep the least amount of decimal places from question
rounding rule when multiplying
round to least number of sig fig
K=
C+273.15
Radioactivity of proton, neutron and electron
proton is alpha
electron is beta
gamma is neutron
the electron is ____ than proton and neutrons
LIGHTER
Structural atom facts
atom is mostly composed of empty space
middle (nucleus) is composed of protons and neutrons
electrons surround it orbiting
periodic table horizontal
period
periodic table vertical
group
Covalent bonding
(H2O) two or more atoms share electrons
ionic bonding
formed when two atoms, one of which is a metal, interact and exchange electrons
Has a positive and negative ion
NaCl
naming covalent bonds
uses prefixes (mono, di, tri) no suffixes
naming ionic compounds
uses suffixes (like orgo)
NH4+
ammonium
ammonium
NH4+
phosphate
PO4 3-
