Cards

Term
The Scientific Process
Definition
-idea: to find out what happens to materials under star-like conditions
-laser to heat graphite surface
-made a new material
-form of carbon, buckminster fullerene (buckyball)
-smalley, kroto and curl nobel peace prize

Applied Science
-technology: take science and use it for practical purposes
(medicine, electricity,..etc.)
Term
Benefits and Risks of Science and Technology
Definition
-Society decides this
ex. bike riding- helmet use
-x-rays: benefit, risk
-see bones and teeth: advantage
risks:damage to cells
-human research w/0 their knowledge (unethical)
-nuclear energy
b: energy
r: waste
Term
What is chemistry?
Definition
-study of chemicals, periodic table
-study of atoms and molecules
-study of matter and its transformations (changes)
-chemical reactions
Term
Measurements
Metric System
Definition
System international
-length-meter (m)
-volume-leter (L)
-mass- gram (g)

centi -1/100 .01
milli - 1/1000 .001 of base unit
killi - 1000
Term
John Dalton's Atomic Theory
Definition
1. Each element is made of atoms
2. Atoms cannot be created or destroyed in chemical reactions
3. All atoms of element are identical
4. Atoms of different elements have different masses
Term
Lavoisier 1700's
Definition
-Law of Mass Conservation
-for a chemical reaction the starting and ending mass are the same
-matter composed of elements that could not be broken down into something else
Term
Dmitri Mendeleev
Definition
-arranged elements by mass
-elements w/similar properties in same column
-(Father of Periodic Table) (1st periodic table)
Term
Temperature
Definition
higher temperature, more kinetic engery
-Fahrenheit, 83 degrees today, 32 freezing pt. of water
212 boiling point of water

Celsius, degrees C
0 *C
*C = (*F - 32) x 5/9

Kelvin, K
zero K, absolute zero
atoms do not move

K = C + 273.15
Term
Solid
Definition
has a set volume and shape
atoms not moving
can vibrate
pressure does not have much affect
increase temperature: atoms move more, change phase
Term
Liquid
Definition
set volume, no set shape
-atoms move more, around each other
-pressure: not much change
-increase temperature; change phase to gas; atoms move more
- decrease temp ----> solid freezing pt
Term
Boyle's Law
Definition
constant temperature

V = 1/p (increase pressure volume got smaller)

If v (is up) P (is down), if v (is down) p (is up)
Term
Charle's Law
Definition
at constant P

If v (is up) p (is up)
If v (is down) t (is down)
Term
Avogadro's Law
Definition
-amount of particles = V
(n) moles
moles of materials
(is up) n, (is up) v
(is down) n, (is down) v
(is
Term
Kinetic Molecular Theory
Definition
1. a gas is made of tiny particles
2. gas particles are in constant motion
3. pressure comes from gas particles hitting surface of container
4. deviation from ideal gas behavior is from: gas particles interacting
-gas particles do have a volume
5. Average Kinetic Energy = Temperature
Term
Matter:
Physical Changes
Definition
-a change in phase
-keeps the substances identity
-a change in property

physical properties: color, shape, hardness, texture
Term
Matter:
Chemical Changes
Definition
-the substance changes identity from a chemical reaction
-a chemical property how substances react with each other
Term
Diatomic Elements
Definition
H and starting at N 2 over and 4 down
Term
Mixtures
Definition
-combinations of 2 or more substances w/o a reaction
-elements, compounds
-any phase of matter
-can be seperated into individual components

ex. air: N(2), Ar, O (2), CO (2)
