Term
Matter
Definition
Stuff in universe(had mass and takes up space,is matter)

states of matter-solid, liquid, gas
Term
energy
Definition
the capacity to do work or to put matter into motion.

has no mass, takes up no space,only to be measured by effect on matter.
Term
Kinetic Energy
Definition
energy in action(motion)

object with mass and with volume has kinetic energy
Term
potential energy
Definition
stored energy, inactive energy that has potential or capability to do work but its not presently doing so.
Term
forms of energy
Definition
chemical-stored in bonds of chemical substances

electrical- results from the movement of charged particles

mechanical-directly involved in causing matter to move.

radiant(electomagnetic)-energy traveling in waves ex:visible light, ultrviolet light,and xrays
Term
element
Definition
unique substances that cannot be broken into simpler substances by orginary chemical methods
Term
Four elements that form bulk of body
Definition
Carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen 96%
Term
atom
Definition
building blocks

more or less identical particules for each element

smallest thing to break down
Term
atomic weight
Definition
average of the mass numbers of all isotopes
Term
atomic number
Definition
equal to number of protons in its nucleus and is written as a subscript to the left of its atomic symbol.
Term
mass number
Definition
equal to the mass of the protons and neutrons
Term
atomic symbol
Definition
one or two chemical shorthand for each element
Term
isotopes
Definition
elements with same number of protons but differ in the number of neutrons they contain. most stable isotopes is the one closest to the atomic weight. Each element isotopes only change in mass.
Term
Physical Properties
Definition
those detected with our sense.(combined but are still same matter as before)
Term
chemical properties
Definition
pertain to the way atoms interact with one another.(combined and changes to different matter)
Term
Lesser elements-3.9%
Definition
calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, sodium, chlorine, magnesium, iodine and iron
Term
trace elements- less than 0.01%
Definition
cant function without trace elements, but too much can be deadly. found in small amounts, are found as part of enzymes. ex.copper and arsenic
Term
nucleus
Definition
consists of neutrons and protons
Term
neutrons
Definition
has no charge and a mass of one atomic mass unit(amu)
Term
protons
Definition
have a positive charge and a mass of 1 amu(atomic mass unit). Elements have same number of protons and electrons.
Term
electrons
Definition
are found orbiting the nucleus on the electron cloud. Have a negative charge and 1/2000 the mass of a proton (0 amu). elements have same number of protons and electrons
Term
planetary model
Definition
electrons move around the nucleus in fixed, circular orbits.
Term
orbital model
Definition
regions around the nucleus in which electrons are most likely to be found.
Term
radioisotopes
Definition
atoms undergo spontaneous decay called radiosctivity, used by doctors.
Term
molecule
Definition
two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds.(same elements)
Term
compound
Definition
two or more different kinds of atoms chemically bonded together. (different elements) All compounds are homogeneous and cannot be separted by physical means.
Term
Mixtures
Definition
two or more components physically intermixed(not chemically mixed). No chemical bonding takes place. Can be heterogeneous or homogeneous
Term
solutions
Definition
homogeneous(same) mixtures of components throughout, either gas, liquid or solid throughout. two types of solutions, solvent and solute.
Term
solvent
Definition
substance present in greatest amount or dissolving medium. solvants are usually liquids.
Term
solute
Definition
substances that are present in smaller amounts or lesser amounts.
Term
colloids(emulsions)
Definition
heterogeneous(different) mixtures whose solutes do not settle out. ex. orange juice
Term
suspensions
Definition
heterogeneous(different) mixtures with visible solutes that tend to settle out. ex. mixture of sand and water
Term
valence shell
Definition
outermost energy level conaining chemically active electrons
Term
electron shell
Definition
electron energy levels that surround the necleus of an atom
Term
octet rule
Definition
except for the first shell(full with 2 electrons)atoms interact in a manner to have 8 electons in their valence shell
Term
chemical bond
Definition
energy relationship between the electrons of the reacting atoms
Term
types of chemical bonds
Definition
ionic bonds, covalent bond, and hydrogen bonds
Term
ionic bonds
Definition
charged atoms resulting from the gain or loss of electrons(transfer electrons)
Term
anions
Definition
have gained one or more electrons, negative charge
Term
cations
Definition
have lost one or more electrons, positive charge
Term
covalent bonds
Definition
formed by sharing of two or more, shared not transfered
Term
single covalent bonds
Definition
a single electron is shared
Term
double covalent bond
Definition
two electrons are shared
Term
triple covalent bonds
Definition
three electrons are shared
Term
chemically inert elements
Definition
outermost energy level fully occupied by electrons
Term
chemically reactant elements
Definition
do not have their outermost energy level fully occupied by electrons
Term
noble gases
Definition
number 18 column on periodic table, have outermost shell full
Term
nonpolar
Definition
electrons shared equally between atoms
Term
polar
Definition
unequal sharing of electrons
Term
hydrogen bonds
Definition
too weak to bind atoms together
Term
electronegative
Definition
atoms with six or seven valence shell electrons
Term
electropositive
Definition
atoms with one or two valence shell electrons
Term
chemical equations
Definition
written out in symbolic form
Term
subscript
Definition
in equations, written to indicate that the atoms are joined by chemical bond
