Identified by its symbol consisting of one or two letters, usually derived from its name, or latin name
Term
Compound
Definition
A pure substance containing more than one element
eg: Water is a compound of hydrogen and oxygen
Have fixed compositions- A given compound always contains the same elements in the same percentages by mass
To resolve compounds into elements, different methods can be used.
Heat, Electrolysis
Term
Mixture
Definition
A mixture contains two or more substances combined in such a way that each substance retains its chemical identity.
Homogeneous- Composition is the same throughout. Another name is solution, made up of solvent, and solute.
Heterogeneous- Composition varies throughout i.e. Rocks.
Many different methods can be used to seperate the components of a mixture.
Filtration, Distillation, Chromatography
All gaseous mixtures including air are solutions

Determine mass by weighing
Term
Temperature
Definition

Term
Intensive properties
Definition
Must be independent of amount
Term
Extensive properties
Definition
Dependent on amount (mass and volume)
Term
Chemical properties
Definition
These are observed when the substance takes part in a chemical reaction, which converts it into a new substance.
Term
Physical properties
Definition
Observed without changing the chemical identity of a substance.
(Melting point, boiling point)
Term
Equation for density
Definition
d=m/v
Term
Solubility
Definition
The process by which a solute dissolves in a solvent. (Physical)

Number of grams of the substance that dissolves in 100 g of solvent at a given temperature.
Term
Saturated
Definition
The point at which a solution of a substance can dissolve no more of that substance. This point, the saturation point, depends on the temperature of the liquid as well as the chemical nature of the substances involved.
Term
Unsaturated
Definition
Being able to dissolve more solute.
Term
Supersaturated
Definition
If a change in conditions (e.g. cooling) mean that the concentration is actually higher than the saturation point, the solution has become supersaturated.
Term
Supersaturated
Definition
If a change in conditions (e.g. cooling) mean that the concentration is actually higher than the saturation point, the solution has become supersaturated.
Term
John Dalton's Atomic Theory
Definition
An element is composed of tiny particles called atoms.
In an ordinary chemical reaction, atoms move from one substance to another, but no atoms of any element disappears or is changed into an atom of another element.
Compounds are formed when atoms of two or more elements combine.
Term
Law of conservation of mass
Definition
There is no detectable change in mass in an ordinary chemical reaction. If atoms are conserved in a reaction, mass will be conserved.
Term
Law of constant composition
Definition
This tells us that a compound always contains the same elements in the same proportions by mass. If the atom ratio of the elements in a compound is fixed, their proportions by mass also be fixed.
Term
Law of multiple proportions
Definition
When two elements form more than one compound. In these compounds, the masses of one elementthat combine with a fixed mass of the second element are in ratio of small whole numbers.
Term
Electrons
Definition
Carry a negative charge
They are equal to protons
Found in an outer region if an atom where they form what amounts to a cloud of negative charge.
Term
Protons
Definition
Positively charged
Cancel out electrons
Found in the nucleus
Term

Definition
Neutral charge
In the nucleus
Term
Atomic Number
Definition

Definition
Metal atoms typically tend to lose electrons to form positively charges ions called cations.
Term
Anions
Definition
Nonmetal atoms form negative ions by gaining electrons. They are called anions.
Term
