Term
Are most elements found combined or uncombined?
Definition
Most elements are found combined or in compounds when found in nature
Term
Are most elements rare or plentiful?
Definition
Most elements are rare, some are more plentiful than others
Term
Metal
Definition
element that has luster, is malleable, ductile, and a good conductor of h and e
Term
Metalloids
Definition
element that has characteristics of both metals and nonmetals and is solid at room temp
Term
Nonmetals
Definition
element that is usually a gas or brittle solid at room temp and is a poor conductor of h and e
Term
Physical properties
Definition
Properties that do not change the chemical nature of matter.color, smell, freezing point, boiling point, melting point, density, luster, magnetism
Term
chemical properties
Definition
Properties that do change tha chemical nature of matter,reaction to acid
flamability
Term
How are elements organized on periodic table
Definition
Today they are organized by atomic number because there are so many, mandeleev organized them by atomic mass.
Term
results of elements and compounds after heating
Definition
elements do not decompose after heating, do not break down. Compounds when heating break chemical binds and break down into the elements they are composed of.
Term
results of elements and compounds after electrolysis
Definition
Compounds separate into the elements they are composed of
Term
difference between elements and compounds
Definition
Elements are extremely basic and individually consist of one kind of atom. Compounds are basically elements that have been inter-mingled with one another. Elements can be represented by their symbols while compounds have formulas. Elements can no longer be broken down, while compounds can through chemical reactions.
A distinguishing factor for elements is their atomic number, while compounds can be interpreted through their chemical bonds.
Term
physical change
Definition
A physical change does not produce a new substance. Changes in state or phase (melting, freezing, vaporization, condensation, sublimation) are physical changes. energy and states
Term
chemical change
Definition
A chemical change makes a substance that wasn't there before. There may be clues that a chemical reaction took place, such as light, heat, color change, gas production, odor, or sound.
Term
how do you know when a chemical reaction has occurred
Definition
The reaction of two or more elements together results in the formation of a chemical bond between atoms and the formation of a chemical compound. a new substance is formed. two elements/chemicals or compounds combine
