question
Mass
answer
A measure of amount of matter.
question
Matter
answer
Anything having mass and volume.
question
Element
answer

Pure substance of one type of atom.

Example: diamond, O2

 

question
Compund
answer

anything made of multiple elements bonded together.

Ex: H2O, CO2

question
Extensive Properties(btw will be on CFA's)
answer

Change according to the amount of matter.;

Examples: weight, mass, volume, surface area.

question
Intensive Properties(on CFA's too)
answer

Do not rely or change as the amount of matter changes.

Examples: luster, boiling point, melting point, color, taste, density.

question
Physical Properties
answer

Something observed without changing identity.

Examples: 5 states of matter(gas, liquid, solid, plasma), freezing/melting point, temperature, dissolving, shredding, cutting down a tree, solubility, density.

question
Chemical Properties
answer

Substances ability to undergo change into a new substance.

Examples: oxidizing(rusting), burning, cooking is always a chem reaction, rotting/decomposing.

question
Mixtures
answer

blend of 2 or more kinds of matter which retains their original properties/identity.

 

question
Homogenous 
answer

"uniform in composition," evenly mixed a.k.a. solution.

Examples: sugar water, salt water, mayo, coke, birdseed, italien dressing (only if it is physically seperated into being homogeneous!!!!)

question
Heterogeneous
answer

"not uniform in composition." Can physically seperate to become homogeneous!

Examples: salde, water and oil, italien dressing (note from homogeneous!) 

question
Pure Substance
answer

fixed composition, different from mixtures:

1. all samples have identical properties (behaves same)

2. all samples have identical compositions (same chemical makeup)

note: cannot vary at all

question
Units
answer

length-meters

mass-kilograms

time-seconds

amount of substance-moles(n)

temperature- Kelvin (K)

question
Prefixes
answer

kilo-kg-10^3   1000g=1kg

deci-dg-10^-1  10dg=1g

centi-cg-10^-2   100cg=1g

milli-mg-10^-3   1000mg=1g

micro-ug-10^-6   100000ug=1g

nano-ng10^-9   1000000000ng=1g


question
Qualitative and Quantitative 
answer

Qualitative: descriptive

Quantitative: numerical

question
Accuracy
answer
how close are we to the actual number
question
Precise
answer
the grouping of data
question
Percent Error and Percent Yield
answer

PE= absolute value of TY(theoretical yield) - AY(actual)

over TY multiplied by 100

PY= AY over TY times 100

question
Democritus(minor)
answer
coined the term "atomus" meaning indivisible. Said if you cut something over and over and over at some point you cant make it any smaller.
question
John Dalton (major)
answer

1st Atomic Theory combined of 5 postulates and 3 laws:

-Law one: law of conservation of mass. Mass cannot be created or destryed.

-Law two: law of definite proportions. If you break a chemical apart it will be the exact same pieces combined in the exact same way.

Law three: law of multiple proportions. Having no half atoms, must have whole number ratio's.

5 postulates:

1. all matter is made of tiny particles called atoms.

2. atoms of a single element are identical in size, mass, and properties; atoms of different elements difeer in size, mass, and properties.

3. atoms cannot be subdivided or destroyed.

4. atoms of different elements combine in whole number ratios

5. chemical reactions= atoms are combined, seperated, or rearranged.

;

NOTE:one of the postulates that is not considered true today is that atoms are indivisible

;

He said that all atoms of a given element are alike.


This is not true due to the existence of isotopes.


Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have

;

different masses because they have different

;

numbers of neutrons.

During a chemical reaction, atoms can change their identities


question
JJ Thomson (support)
answer

uses cathode ray to discover negative parts of the atom.

Plum Pudding Model

question
Max Planck (minor)
answer
Quantum=minimum energy required that can be gained or lost by an atom.
question
Einstein(minor)
answer
photon=a particle of electro magnetic radiation that has zero mass and a quantum of energy.
question
Millikan(support)
answer
discovered electron mass to oil change with oil drop experiment.
question
Rutherford(major)
answer
Gold Foil Experiment. Discovered positive nucleus.
question
Bohr(support)
answer
modeled photon absorption and emission with Hydrogen.;
question
De Broglie
answer
electrons have wave-particle duality; electrons are waves in a confined space around the nucleus of an atom (electrons have to be in a certain area).
question
Heisenberg(major,support,minor)
answer
Uncertainty Principle: we can know where an electron is and how fast its going, but we can never know both.
question
Schrodinger(MAJOR)
answer
Quantum Theory: describes mathematically the various properties of electrons. So taking Daltons atomic theory and proving it with numbers.
question
Electro Magnetic Radiation
answer

a form of energy that exhibits wave-like behavior as it travels through space.;

ex:gamma rays extremely high, but radio waves are low.

Frequancy is the amount of ways in a certain time.

;

question
Light equations
answer

C=;;; C=speed of light (3.00x10^8 m),;;=wavelength measured in nm,;;=frequency

E=h;; E=energy, h= Plancks Constant (6.626x10^-34 J/s),;;=frequency

question
Ground State and Excited State
answer

GS= normal, flat energy level;

ES= high energy

question
Subelevel(orbital)
answer

3D region around nucleus where an electron probably is found.

;

question
Quantum Numbers
answer

specific properties of orbitals and properties of electrons is orbitals.

1. Principle Quantum #: n, 1 to infinity, main energy level

2. Angular Momentum Quantum #: l;, n-1 to zero, sublevel (s=0, p=1, d=2, f=3) s is 1 orbital, p is 3 orbitals, d is 5 orbitals, f is 7 orbitals (one orbital holds 2 electrons)

3. Magnetic Quantum #:;ml is -l to l

4. Spin Quantum: s +1/2 and -1/2 spin of an electron

;

question
Quantum Numbers more
answer

n=row number

l= block type (s=0,p=1,d=2,f=3)

ml= column in block (ex -1, 0, 1 for if l=p) (-l or l)

s=spin (-1/2 if arrow is down, +1/2 if arrow is up)


question

answer

the amount of particles required to have 12g of Carbon-12

;

answer

6.02x10^23 parts over 1 mol

 parts can equal atoms, molecules,or some other tiny particle.

question
