Term
Chemistry
Definition
The study of composition, structure, and properites of matter.  Includes the processes that matter undergoes and the energy changes that accompany these processes.
Term
Chemical Change
Definition
A change in which one or more substances are converted into different substances.
evidence of a chemical change - Burning
Term
Physical Change
Definition
a change in the substance that does not involve a change in the identity of the substance
Term
Is a phase change a physical change?
Definition
Yes.
Term
Homogenous Mixture/ 3 examples
Definition
Homogenous mixtures are solutions, and are uniform in composition/same throughout. Examples would be sugar water, salt water, air, alloy, or milk.
Term
Heterogeneous Mixture / 3 examples
Definition
Heterogenous mixture is not uniform throughout, examples would be pizza, polluted water, or cement.
Term
Properties of metals
Definition
Conductive, thermal, electrical, malleable, ductile, luster, hardness, and most are solid.
Term
Properties of metalloids
Definition
Semi conductors, brittle, break apart, soft, located in between metals and non metals.
Term
Properties of Non metals
Definition
Non conductors, brittle if solid, many are gases, stable family 18, noble gas, and a low boiling point.
Term
Elements on the periodic table are listed by _____________
Definition
Increasing Atomic Number
Term
Hypothesis
Definition
A testable statement that serves as a basic for making predictions and for carrying out further experiments.
Term
Theory
Definition
A broad generalization that explains a body of facts
Term
Independent/Dependent Variables
Definition

Independent are variables that stand alone and is not changed by any other variables.

Dependent are variables that depend on other factors.

Term
What is the purpose of the scientific method?
Definition
Its a logical approach to solving problems by observing and collecting data, formulating hypothesis, and formulating theories that are supported by data.
O H E M P
Term
What is a qualitative statement and a quantitative statement.
Definition
Qualitative are not numerical statements and Quantitative are numerical statements.
Term
Difference between mass and weight
Definition
Mass does not depend on gravity it is the measure of amount of matter when weight does depend on gravity, it is the measure of the gravitational pull on matter.
Term

What are the SI units for the following -

Mass -

Volume -

Density -

Length -

Definition

Mass -Kilogram (Kg)

Volume - Cubic meter (Cm3, Lm3)

Density - Grams per Cm3 (g/cm3)

Length - Meters (m)

Term
List the 'King Henry' prefixes
Definition
Kilo, Hecto, Deca, M (Units), Deci, Centi, Milli
Term
Formula for Density
Definition
D=m/v
Term
What are the 5 statements in Daltons atomic theory?
Definition

1. All matter is composed of extremely small particles called atoms.
2.  Atoms of a given element are identical in size, mass, and other properties; Atoms of different elements differ in size, mass, and other properties.

3.  Atoms can be subdivided, created, or destroyed.

4.  Atoms of different elements combine in simple who number ratios to chemical compounds

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

Term
What is the law of definite proportions?
Definition
Every pure substance always contains the same elements combined in the same proportions by mass regardless of the size.
Term
Define the law of multiple proportions.
Definition
If two or more different compounds are composed of the same two elements, then the ratio of the masses of the second element combined with a certain mass of the first element is always a ratio of small whole numbers.
Term
Define Atom
Definition
The smallest particle of an element that retains the chemical properties of that element.
Term
Who first found the electron? What instruments were used in the experiment?
Definition
JJ Thomson found the electron by using the cathode ray tube and a magnet and a paddle wheel to show the beam had mass.
Term
Who first found the nucleus and what was the experiment called?
Definition
Rutherford found the nucleus and called the experiment Gold foil experiment.
Term
What did Rutherford conclude about the atom?
Definition
He concluded that the atom is mostly empty space with a small dense center, he also found that it has a positively charged center.
Term
Who developed the first periodic table?
Definition
Dimitri Mendeleev
Term
Who made the modern periodic table?
Definition
Henry Mosely
Term
How did the first two periodic tables differ?
Definition
The first one was arranged by mass and the second was arranged by atomic mass.
Term
What is the periodic law?
Definition
A principle that chemical properties of the element are periodic functions of their atomic numbers.
Term
What is an isotope?
Definition
Atoms of the same element that have different masses.
Term
Define Nuclide
Definition
A general term for a specific isotope of an element.
Term
What is a mole?
Definition
The chemist dozen, instead of 12 units of something it is 6.02x10 23 units of something
Term
What is the average atomic mass?
Definition
It is the weighted average of the atomic masses of the naturally occuring isotopes of an element.
Term
How do you write hyphenated and nuclear symbolization of isotopes?
Definition

Hyphenated notation is when the mass is written with a hyphen after the name of the element.

Nuclear symbolization is when the superscript indicates the mass number of protons and neutrons and the subscript indicates the atomic number (#of protons)

Term
What is the electomagnetic radiation?
Definition
A form of energy that exhibits wavelike behavior as it travels through space. (travels in waves)
Term
What is the relationship between wavelength and frequency?
Definition
The longer the wavelength the lower the frequency.
Term
A long wavelength is high or low energy?
Definition
Low energy
Term
Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
Definition
It is impossible to determine simultaneously both the position and velocity of an electron or any other particle.
Term
What is an excited electron?
Definition
A state in which an atom has a higher potential energy than it has in its ground state.
Term
What is the quantum theory?
Definition
Is describes mathematically the wave properties of electrons and other very small particles.
Term
Who came up with the mathematical equation that describes as waves?
Definition
Schrodinger
Term
What are the four quantum numbers and what do they each describe.
Definition

1. Principle quatum number- symbolized by n and indicates the main energy level occupied by the electron.

2.  Angular Momentum Quantum Number- symbolized by l, indicated the shape of the orbital.

3.  Magnetic Quantum Number- symbolized by m, indicated the orientation of an orbital around the nucleus. 

4.  Spin Quantum Number- has only two possible values (+1/2, -1/2) which indicate the two fundamental spin states of an electron in an orbital. 

Term
What are the four sublevels used in the electron configurations?
Definition
s shape, p shape, d shape, and f shape.

How many orbitals are in each sublevel?
Definition
S-1;P-3;d-5;f-7
Term
What is Pauli's exclusion principle?
Definition
No electron can have the exact same set of 4 quatum numbers.  The last designation is the spin number.

s and p
Term
What is an ion?
Definition
An atom, radical, or molecule that has gained or lost one or more electrons and has a negative or positive charge.
Term
What is the noble gas configuration? Why are the noble gases stable?
Definition
The noble gas configuration is a confined way of the electron configuration.  They are stable because they have all their electrons.
Term
