Term
matter
Definition
is anything that has mass and takes up space
Term
atom
Definition
a small particle that makes up most types of matter
Term
law of conservation of matter
Definition
states that matter is not created or destroyed - it only changes
Term
electrons
Definition
invisble, negatively charged particles
Term
nucleus
Definition
positively charged, central part of the atom.
Term
protons
Definition
the postively charged particles in the nucleus
Term
neutrons
Definition
uncahrged particles
Term
element
Definition
matter made of only one kind of atom
Term
atomic number
Definition
the number above elements name on the periodic table. tells the number of protons in the nucleus of that element
Term
isotopes
Definition
atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons
Term
mass number
Definition
number of protons plus the number of neutrons it contains # found below the element symbol
Term
atomic mass
Definition
weighted average mass of the isotopes of an element
Term
metals
Definition
generally have a shiny or metallic luster and are good conductors of heat and electricity
Term
nonmetals
Definition
elements that are usually dull in appearance
Term
metalloids
Definition
elements that have characteristics of metals and nonmetals
Term
substance
Definition
matter that has the same composition and properties throughout
Term
compound
Definition
substance whose smallest unit is made up of atoms of more than one element bonded together
e.g. water, salt, sugar
Term
mixture
Definition
two or more substances(elements or compounds) come together but don't combine to make a new substance
unlike compounds, the proportions of the substance in a mixture can be changed without changing the identity of mixture e.g. air, blood seperate mixtures easily
Term
6 -> atomic #, # of protons in nucleus
C < chemical symbol
Carbon < chemical name
12 <- Atomic weight, number of protons + number of neutrons
Definition
6 -> atomic #, # of protons in nucleus
C < chemical symbol
Carbon < chemical name
12 <- Atomic weight, number of protons + number of neutrons
Term

Term
electron cloud - electrons are so small and fast that they move in a cloud
Definition
electron cloud - electrons are so small and fast that they move in a cloud
Term
not mass < heat, light, emotions, thoughts, ideas
Definition
not mass < heat, light, emotions, thoughts, ideas
Term
isotopes
Definition
atoms of the same element that have diff. number of neutrons
Term
metals
Definition
shiny luster
good conductors of heat and electric.
most are solids at room temp.
malleable - can be shaped
ductile - can be drawn into wires without breaking
Term
nonmetals found on right side of periodic table
Definition
dull in appearance
poor conductors
gas at room temp.
brittle, cannot shape without breaking
97% human made of this
Term
metalloids
Definition
have caharacterisitcs of both metals and nonmetals
OK conductor
solid @ room temp
Term
elements 115 known elements
90 naturally occuring elements plus synthetic elements made by scientists
Definition
elements 115 known elements
90 naturally occuring elements plus synthetic elements made by scientists
Term
chemical formula
Definition
tells which elements make up a compound as well as how many atoms of each element are present.
Term
a given compound is always made of the same elements in the same proportion
Definition
a given compound is always made of the same elements in the same proportion
Term
homogeneous mixture
Definition
same throughout
milk, soda pop, ice cream, posicle,
Term
heterogenous mixture
Definition
you can see diff. parts
taco, pizza, chili
Term
metals solid, shiny/luster, good conductor, malleability, ductility, middle on table

Term
nonmetals - gas, dull, poor conductor, right side of table
Definition
nonmetals - gas, dull, poor conductor, right side of table
Term
metalloids - solid, shiny/dull ok conductor, border between metals and nonmetals
Definition
metalloids - solid, shiny/dull ok conductor, border between metals and nonmetals
Term
compound's formula tells us which element it is and how many there are.
