Matter
answer
Anything that has mass and occupies space;
Solid, liquid, gas;
Solid- Fixed shape and volume

Gas-Nor a fixed volume nor a rigid shape
question
Pure Substances (Fixed composition and a unique set of properties)
answer
Elements
Compounds
question
Mixtures- Composed of two or more substances
answer
Heterogeneous (Coarse)
Homogeneous (Solutions)
question
Element
answer
Type of matter that cannot be broken down into two or more pure substances
113 known elements, 91 occur naturally
Identified by its symbol consisting of one or two letters, usually derived from its name, or latin name
question
Compound
answer
A pure substance containing more than one element
eg: Water is a compound of hydrogen and oxygen
Have fixed compositions- A given compound always contains the same elements in the same percentages by mass
To resolve compounds into elements, different methods can be used.
Heat, Electrolysis
question
Mixture
answer
A mixture contains two or more substances combined in such a way that each substance retains its chemical identity.
Homogeneous- Composition is the same throughout. Another name is solution, made up of solvent, and solute.
Heterogeneous- Composition varies throughout i.e. Rocks.
Many different methods can be used to seperate the components of a mixture.
Filtration, Distillation, Chromatography
All gaseous mixtures including air are solutions

question
Pico (p)
answer
10^-12
question
Length - Meter
answer
1 cm = 10^-2m
1 mm = 10^-3m
1 km = 10^3 m
1 nm = 10^-9m
question
Volume - Cubic centimeters
Liters
Millimeters
answer
1 cm(3) = (10^-2m)cubed = (10^-6m) cubed
1 L = (10^-3m) cubed = (10^3cm) cubed
I mL= (10^-3L)= (10^-6m)cubed
1 mL = 1 cm cubed
question
Mass - Grams
Kilograms
Milligrams
answer
1 g = (10^-3kg)
1 mg= (10^-3g)
1 Mg= (10^6 g) = (10^3)kg
question
Mass
answer
Measure of the amount of matter in an object
question
Weight
answer
Measure of gravitational force acting on the object

Determine mass by weighing
question
Temperature
answer
Celsius (C)
Kelvin (K)
Fahrenheit (F)
question
Intensive properties
answer
Must be independent of amount
question
Extensive properties
answer
Dependent on amount (mass and volume)
question
Chemical properties
answer
These are observed when the substance takes part in a chemical reaction, which converts it into a new substance.
question
Physical properties
answer
Observed without changing the chemical identity of a substance.
(Melting point, boiling point)
question
Equation for density
answer
d=m/v
question
Solubility
answer
The process by which a solute dissolves in a solvent. (Physical)

Number of grams of the substance that dissolves in 100 g of solvent at a given temperature.
question
Saturated
answer
The point at which a solution of a substance can dissolve no more of that substance. This point, the saturation point, depends on the temperature of the liquid as well as the chemical nature of the substances involved.
question
Unsaturated
answer
Being able to dissolve more solute.
question
Supersaturated
answer
If a change in conditions (e.g. cooling) mean that the concentration is actually higher than the saturation point, the solution has become supersaturated.
question
Supersaturated
answer
If a change in conditions (e.g. cooling) mean that the concentration is actually higher than the saturation point, the solution has become supersaturated.
question
John Dalton's Atomic Theory
answer
An element is composed of tiny particles called atoms.
In an ordinary chemical reaction, atoms move from one substance to another, but no atoms of any element disappears or is changed into an atom of another element.
Compounds are formed when atoms of two or more elements combine.
question
Law of conservation of mass
answer
There is no detectable change in mass in an ordinary chemical reaction. If atoms are conserved in a reaction, mass will be conserved.
question
Law of constant composition
answer
This tells us that a compound always contains the same elements in the same proportions by mass. If the atom ratio of the elements in a compound is fixed, their proportions by mass also be fixed.
question
Law of multiple proportions
answer
When two elements form more than one compound. In these compounds, the masses of one elementthat combine with a fixed mass of the second element are in ratio of small whole numbers.
question
Electrons
answer
Carry a negative charge
They are equal to protons
Found in an outer region if an atom where they form what amounts to a cloud of negative charge.
question
Protons
answer
Positively charged
Cancel out electrons
Found in the nucleus
question
Neutrons
answer
Neutral charge
In the nucleus
question
Atomic Number
answer
Number of protons and electrons
In a neutral atom, protons and electrons are the same
question
Mass number
answer
protons + neutrons
question
Isotopes
answer
Atoms that contain the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons
question

question
Molecule
answer
Two or more atoms that may combine with one another to form an uncharged molecule.Held by strong forces called covalent bonds. Mostly represented by molecular formulas.
question
Ion
answer
When an atom loses or gains electrons
question
Cations
answer
Metal atoms typically tend to lose electrons to form positively charges ions called cations.
question
Anions
answer
Nonmetal atoms form negative ions by gaining electrons. They are called anions.
question
Ionic bonds
answer
The electrical forces between oppositely charged charged ions that hold together compounds.
question
Naming Ions
answer
Monoatomic cations take the name of the metal from which they are derived.
Roman numerals to distinguish charge.
Named by adding suffix -ide to the stem of the name of the nonmetal from which they are derived.
question
Ionic compounds
answer
First word names the cation
Second names the anion
question
Binary molecular compounds
answer
Two nonmetals
First word gives the name of the element w/ Greek prefix
Second word consists of appropriate Greek prefix, stem of the name, the suffix ide.
