Term
Mass
Definition
A measure of amount of matter.
Term
Matter
Definition
Anything having mass and volume.
Term
Element
Definition

Pure substance of one type of atom.

Example: diamond, O2

 

Term
Compund
Definition

anything made of multiple elements bonded together.

Ex: H2O, CO2

Term
Extensive Properties(btw will be on CFA's)
Definition

Change according to the amount of matter. 

Examples: weight, mass, volume, surface area.

Term
Intensive Properties(on CFA's too)
Definition

Do not rely or change as the amount of matter changes.

Examples: luster, boiling point, melting point, color, taste, density.

Term
Physical Properties
Definition

Something observed without changing identity.

Examples: 5 states of matter(gas, liquid, solid, plasma), freezing/melting point, temperature, dissolving, shredding, cutting down a tree, solubility, density.

Term
Chemical Properties
Definition

Substances ability to undergo change into a new substance.

Examples: oxidizing(rusting), burning, cooking is always a chem reaction, rotting/decomposing.

Term
Mixtures
Definition

blend of 2 or more kinds of matter which retains their original properties/identity.

 

Term
Homogenous 
Definition

"uniform in composition," evenly mixed a.k.a. solution.

Examples: sugar water, salt water, mayo, coke, birdseed, italien dressing (only if it is physically seperated into being homogeneous!!!!)

Term
Heterogeneous
Definition

"not uniform in composition." Can physically seperate to become homogeneous!

Examples: salde, water and oil, italien dressing (note from homogeneous!) 

Term
Pure Substance
Definition

fixed composition, different from mixtures:

1. all samples have identical properties (behaves same)

2. all samples have identical compositions (same chemical makeup)

note: cannot vary at all

Term
Units
Definition

length-meters

mass-kilograms

time-seconds

amount of substance-moles(n)

temperature- Kelvin (K)

Term
Prefixes
Definition

kilo-kg-10^3   1000g=1kg

deci-dg-10^-1  10dg=1g

centi-cg-10^-2   100cg=1g

milli-mg-10^-3   1000mg=1g

micro-ug-10^-6   100000ug=1g

nano-ng10^-9   1000000000ng=1g


Term
Qualitative and Quantitative 
Definition

Qualitative: descriptive

Quantitative: numerical

Term
Accuracy
Definition
how close are we to the actual number
Term
Precise
Definition
the grouping of data
Term
Percent Error and Percent Yield
Definition

PE= absolute value of TY(theoretical yield) - AY(actual)

over TY multiplied by 100

PY= AY over TY times 100

Term
Democritus(minor)
Definition
coined the term "atomus" meaning indivisible. Said if you cut something over and over and over at some point you cant make it any smaller.
Term
John Dalton (major)
Definition

1st Atomic Theory combined of 5 postulates and 3 laws:

-Law one: law of conservation of mass. Mass cannot be created or destryed.

-Law two: law of definite proportions. If you break a chemical apart it will be the exact same pieces combined in the exact same way.

Law three: law of multiple proportions. Having no half atoms, must have whole number ratio's.

5 postulates:

1. all matter is made of tiny particles called atoms.

2. atoms of a single element are identical in size, mass, and properties; atoms of different elements difeer in size, mass, and properties.

3. atoms cannot be subdivided or destroyed.

4. atoms of different elements combine in whole number ratios

5. chemical reactions= atoms are combined, seperated, or rearranged.

 

NOTE:one of the postulates that is not considered true today is that atoms are indivisible

 

He said that all atoms of a given element are alike.


This is not true due to the existence of isotopes.


Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have

 

different masses because they have different

 

numbers of neutrons.

During a chemical reaction, atoms can change their identities


Term
JJ Thomson (support)
Definition

uses cathode ray to discover negative parts of the atom.

Plum Pudding Model

Term
Max Planck (minor)
Definition
Quantum=minimum energy required that can be gained or lost by an atom.
Term
Einstein(minor)
Definition
photon=a particle of electro magnetic radiation that has zero mass and a quantum of energy.
Term
Millikan(support)
Definition
discovered electron mass to oil change with oil drop experiment.
Term
Rutherford(major)
Definition
Gold Foil Experiment. Discovered positive nucleus.
Term
Bohr(support)
Definition
modeled photon absorption and emission with Hydrogen. 
Term
De Broglie
Definition
electrons have wave-particle duality; electrons are waves in a confined space around the nucleus of an atom (electrons have to be in a certain area).
Term
Heisenberg(major,support,minor)
Definition
Uncertainty Principle: we can know where an electron is and how fast its going, but we can never know both.
Term
Schrodinger(MAJOR)
Definition
Quantum Theory: describes mathematically the various properties of electrons. So taking Daltons atomic theory and proving it with numbers.
Term
Electro Magnetic Radiation
Definition

a form of energy that exhibits wave-like behavior as it travels through space. 

ex:gamma rays extremely high, but radio waves are low.

Frequancy is the amount of ways in a certain time.

 

Term
Light equations
Definition

C=λν; C=speed of light (3.00x10^8 m), λ=wavelength measured in nm, ν=frequency

E=hν; E=energy, h= Plancks Constant (6.626x10^-34 J/s), ν=frequency

 

 

 

 

 

 

Term
Ground State and Excited State
Definition

GS= normal, flat energy level 

ES= high energy

Term
Subelevel(orbital)
Definition

3D region around nucleus where an electron probably is found.

 

Term
Quantum Numbers
Definition

specific properties of orbitals and properties of electrons is orbitals.

1. Principle Quantum #: n, 1 to infinity, main energy level

2. Angular Momentum Quantum #: l , n-1 to zero, sublevel (s=0, p=1, d=2, f=3) s is 1 orbital, p is 3 orbitals, d is 5 orbitals, f is 7 orbitals (one orbital holds 2 electrons)

3. Magnetic Quantum #: ml is -l to l

4. Spin Quantum: s +1/2 and -1/2 spin of an electron

 

Term

Definition

n=row number

l= block type (s=0,p=1,d=2,f=3)

ml= column in block (ex -1, 0, 1 for if l=p) (-l or l)

s=spin (-1/2 if arrow is down, +1/2 if arrow is up)
