Semester 1 Final Flashcards
(138 cards)
Matter has
substance, stuff, it is anything that has mass and volume
___is the property of matter that can be measured
mass
the amount of space matter takes up is called
volume
Mass is measured in
milligrams(mg), grams(g)(1000mg), and kilograms(kg)(1000mg)
Volume is measured in
milliliters(mL), and liters(L)(1000mL)
calculating the conversion of some units to another unit is
information given x conversion factor(s) = information sought
elements
building material of all matter, the purest form
compound
different elements combined in specific ratios, represented by a chemical formula
ratios of the elements in compounds __ change
never
ratio of carbon to oxygen atoms in CO2
1:2
molecules
multiple atoms of the same element combined, not compounds
Aqueous Phase
when a substance forms a mixture with water ex. seawater, vinegar. It is not a liquid
Homogenous Mixture
one phase, solution or pure substance ex. sugar + water
Heterogenous mixture
2 or more phases, can be separated by filtration or extraction ex. sand + water
Reactivity
property describing how easily an element will combine with other substance to form new compounds
the more reactive an element is,
the more rapidly it combines with other elements
Atomic Mass
mass of an atom, measured in atomic mass units(amu)
Periodic table
arranges the 118 chemical elements into rows and columns, based on a set of repeating properties
Vertical columns
called groups
horizontal rows
called periods
in chemistry, positive ions can be called
salts
the elements on the periodic table can be grouped into
metals, metalloids, and nonmetals
atom
the smallest particle of an element retaining its identity in a chemical reaction; made of subatomic particles
subatomic particles
protons, neutrons, and electrons
