Cards

Term
Hypothesis
Definition
An unproved or preliminary explanation that can be tested by comparison with scientific evidence.
Term
Covalent Bonding
Definition
A type of chemical bond formed by shared electrons. They're between nonmetallic elements of similar electronegativity.
Term
Variable
Definition
A quantity that can be precisely, often with a numerical value.
Term
Ionic Bonding
Definition
A bond that transfers an electron from one atom to another resulting in attraction between oppositely charged ions.
Term
Manipulated variables
Definition
the variable in the experiment that is changed
Term
Responding variable
Definition
The variable that remains the same throughout the experiment
Term
Valence Electrons
Definition
The electrons in an atom' outer energy level. In a periodic table, they have the same number on valence electrons in a certain row.
Term
controlled experiment
Definition
A controlled Experiment is one in which only one variable is tested at a time.
Term
Polar Covalent Bonds
Definition
When the electrons are shared but they aren't shared equally ex: H2O.
Term
Data
Definition
Information collected during an experiment or other scientific inquiry. Data are often values of variables measured in an experiment
Term
Data
Definition
Information collected during an experiment or other scientific inquiry. Data are often values of variables measured in an experiment
Term
How do you calculate the volume of an irregular object?
Definition
Water Displacement
Term
Mass
Definition
The amount of matter an object contains
Term
Weight
Definition
The downward force of gravity acting on mass
Term
Crystal Bonding
Definition
Bonding in crystals.
Term
Density
Definition
The mass of matter per unit volume.
Term
Mixture
Definition
A substance that includes more than one type of element and/or compound.
Term
Solution
Definition
A mixture of two or more substances that is uniform at the molecular level.
Term
Compound
Definition
A substance whose smallest particle include more than one element chemically bonded together
Term
Solvent
Definition
In a solution, it's presented as the bigger amount.
Term
Solute
Definition
In a solution, it's the substance being dissolved also the smaller substance.
Term
Concentration
Definition
The ratio of solute to solvent in a solution.
Term
Solubillity
Definition
The amount of solute that can be dissolved in a specific volume of solvent under certain conditions.
Term
Physical Changes
Definition
During a physical change, a substance changes form, but remains the same substance.
Term
Acids
Definition
A substance that produces hydronium ions (H3O+) when dissolved in water. Acids have a pH less than 7. Common Acids: Citruses, vinegar, lemon juice.
Term
Chemical Changes
Definition
A chemical change turns one or more substances
Term
Bases
Definition
A substance that produces hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water. Bases have a pH greater than 7. Common Bases: Ammonia, baking soda, and soap.
Term
Indicator
Definition
Indicators show if a product is an acid or not. An example of an indicator is litmus paper.
Term
What is the law conservation of mass?
Definition
The mass of the reactants equals the mass of the products.
Term
Neutralization
Definition
A chemical reaction whereby an acid and a base react to form water and a salt.
Term
Carbon Chemistry
Definition
The study of organic chemistry
Term
Dmitri Mendeleev
Definition
He created the first periodic table. He was an epic man.
Term
Structure of the atom
Definition
Protons are posotive like happy face.
Electrons are negative like sad face.
Neutrons are naootrol like hehehe.
Term
Atomic number
Definition
The number that determines how many particles are in an atom (neutrons, protons, electrons ).
Term
Isotopes
Definition
They are different types of atoms of the same chemical element, each having a different number of neutrons.
Term
Metals
Definition
Metals are hard. And shiny. They also have good malleability (shapeable) ductility (being able to be hammered--thinned) conductivity (electrical power)
Term
synthesis:chemical reaction
Definition
A+B=AB
Term
decomposition: chemical reactions
Definition
AB=A+B
Term
Alloy
Definition
A solution of two or more solids. For example steel.
Term
single displacement: chemical reactions
Definition
A+BC=AC+B
Term
exothermic reactions
Definition
a reaction is exothermic if it releases more energy than it uses.
Term
endothermic reactions
Definition
A reaction is endothermic if it uses more energy than it releases
Term

1: Alikai Metals
2: Alakai Earth Metals
3-12: Transition Metals
13-17: Non-metals
18: Halogens
Term
Non-Metals Physical properties
Definition
They are brittle, have low density, dull, and they are poor conductors.
Term
Metalloids
Definition
The elemnts on the border between metals and nonmetals.

Definition
-formation of a percipitate
-formation of gas
-temperature change
-changes in properties
-color change
Term

Term
sublimination
Definition
temperature outside affects the temperature on the inside.
Term
condensation
Definition
change from gas to liquid at a temperature below the boiling point
