Term
ELEMENTS
Definition
- pure substances composed of only one kind of atom
Term
BINARY COMPOUNDS
Definition
- substances made up of two kinds of atoms (ex: H20, NH3, CO2)
Term
DIATOMIC COMPOUNDS
Definition
- elements that form two atom molecules in their natural form at STP

* REMEMBER THE PHRASE - " BrINCIHOF"
(BR2, I2, N2, CL2, H2, O2, F2)
Term
SOLUTIONS
Definition
homogenous mixtures (air, salt water, etc.)
Term
HOMOGENOUS
Definition
- A class of matter with definite properties whose members are composed of two or more substances, each retaining its own identifying properties (e.g., mixed vegetables).
Term
HETEROGENEOUS
Definition
A heterogeneous compound, mixture, reaction or other such object is one that consists of many different items, which are often not easily sorted or separated, though they are clearly distinct.
Term
SOLUTE
Definition
- substance being dissolved
Term
SOLVENT
Definition
- substances that dissolves the solute
Term
PHYSICAL CHANGES
Definition
- do not from new substances

- merely change the appearance of the original substance (melting of ice)
Term
CHEMICAL CHANGES
Definition
- results in the formation of new substances (ex: the burning of hydrogen gas to produce water vapor)
Term
REACTANTS AND PRODUCTS
Definition
- REACTANTS = left side of the reaction arrow

- PRODUCTS = right side of the reaction arrow
Term
ENDOTHERMIC REACTIONS
Definition
- absorb heat

- the energy value is on the left side of the reaction arrow in a forward reaction
Term
EXOTHERMIC REACTIONS
Definition
- releases energy

- energy is the product in the reaction
Term
SYNTHESIS REACTIONS
Definition
- when two or more reactants combine to become one
Term
DECOMPOSITION REACTIONS
Definition
- occurs when a single reactant forms two or more products
Term
SINGLE REPLACEMET REACTIONS
Definition
- when one element replaces another element in a compound
Term
DOUBLE REPLACEMENT REACTIONS
Definition
- occurs when two compounds react to form to new compounds
Term
LAW OF CONSERVATION OF MASS
Definition
- masses of reactants = masses of products
Term
GRAM FORMULA MASS
Definition
- sum of the atomic masses of all the atoms in a substance
Term
Use this diagram to help determine the number of significant figures in a
measured value…
Definition
Pacific Atlantic




If the decimal point is present, start counting digits from the Pacific (left) side,
starting with the first non-zero digit.
1 2 3
0.00310 (3 sig. figs.)
If the decimal point is absent, start counting digits from the Atlantic (right) side,
starting with the first non-zero digit.
3 2 1
31,400 (3 sig. figs.)
Term
ELECTRON CONFIGURATION
Definition
Electron configurations are written in the bottom center of an element’s box on the
periodic table in your reference tables.





# of electrons in 3rd principal energy level
# of electrons in 2nd principal energy level
# of electrons in 1st principal energy level
