Diatomic Molecules
Elements that can’t exist by themselves in nature. (Br, I, N, Cl, H, O, and F)
Metals
Left of the staircase. When metals have a charge they are called cations. Forms positive ions because it gives away electrons.
NonMetals
Right of the staircase. When they have a charge they are called anions. forms negative ions because it gains electrons.
Metalloids
On the staircase line. Have both metal and nonmetal characteristics. (B, Si, Ge, As, Sb, Te, Po)
Mixture
Combination of one or more pure substances.
Chemical Property
The ability of a substance to undergo a change that transforms it to a different substance.
Physical Property
Characteristics of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing the composition.
Viscosity
The resistance of a fluid to flow
Buoyancy
The force with which a more dense fluid pushes a less dense substances upward.
Kinetic Theroy
All matter is composed of small particles and these particles are in constant motion, colliding with each other and the walls of their containers.
Absolute Zero
Theoretically all molecular motions stops at -273.15
Endothermic
Taking in energy
Exothermic
Release of energy
Calorimetry
The accurate and precise measurement of heat change fore chemical and physical processes.
Calorimeter
Insulated device used to measure the absorption or release of heat in chemical or physical processes.
Plasma
Matter that contains both negative and positive charged particles that are overall neutral.
