25
Observable changes in the physical property of matter while not changing into a new substance
* Physical Changes
26
Involves chemical reactions that result in the formation of new substances or products
* Chemical Change
27
Ability of a substance to undergo chemical changes to become a different kind of matter
* Chemical Property
28
– has a definite volume and a distinct shape given a certain temperature
Solid
29
Has a definite volume, but takes the shape of its container
Liquid
30
Has no definite volume and shape
Gas
31
Super heated gas. This happens through ionization
Plasma
32
Super-cooled gas; the opposite of Plasma
Bose-Einstein Condensate
33
Reversible physical change that makes the phase of matter change due to the absorption or the release of heat
Phase Change

40
Considered the smallest particle of matter
Atom
41
gave birth to the idea of an atom
Democritus
42
means “something that cannot be broken down any further
Atomos
43
Believied that matter was made up for four natural elements (Fire, Water, Air, and Earth)
Aristotle
44
Proposed the first atomic theory, which he wrote in his book A New System of Chemical Philosophy
John Dalton
45
Particle smaller than an atom in which scientists used experimental observations to establish its existence
Subatomic Particle
46
Negatively charged subatomic particles, discovered by J.J. Thomson
* Electron
47
Positively charged subatomic particles, discovered by Ernest Rutherford
* Proton
48
Neutrally charged subatomic particle
* Neutron
49
– Proposed by J.J. Thomson; states that the atom is a positively-charged sphere filled with negatively charged particles (electrons)
Plum Pudding Model
50
Proposed by Ernest Rutherford; state that the atom consists of the nucleus with a proton inside it, surrounded by electrons
Nuclear Model
51
Proposed by Niels Bohr; Proposes the electrons move around the nucleus in orbits known as energy levels
Planetary Model
52
Equivalent to the number of protons in its nucleus
Atomic Number –
53
Combined number of protons and neutrons in an elements nucleus
Mass Number
54
Electrically charged atoms
Ions
55
Atom that gains an electron, thus being negatively charged
Anion
56
Atom that loses an electron, thus being positively charged
Cation
57
Pictorial representations of the electrons in an atom
Orbital Diagrams
58
– A lower energy orbital should be filled first before the next higher energy orbital
Aufbau Principle
59
No two electrons can have exactly the same set of quantum numbers
Pauli Exclusion Principle
60
Every orbital of the same energy must be singly occupied with one electron before any orbital is doubly occupied
Hund’s Rule
