Particle Theory of Matter (6 parts)
Definition
(1) particles are always moving except at absolute zero (-273 degrees)
(2) particles attract each other up to a certain distance and then repel each other
(3) particles at a higher temperature are moving faster than particles at a lower temp.
(4) particles can rotate, translate and vibrate
(5) everything is made up of particles
(6) each pure substance has its own type of particle that is different than the particles of other pure substances
Term

Term
Evidence of chemical changes (not nessecarily in order; not all have to happen) (5)
Definition
heat is absorbed or produced; reactants are consumed; change in color; gas formed; precipitate formed
Term
List of chemical properties (3)
Definition
(1) combustibility
(2) reactivity
(3) toxicity
Term
Pure substance
Definition
always homogeneous; contains only one type of material; all properties uniform
Term
Law of definite proportions
Definition
Compounds are pure substances that contain two or more elements chemically combined together in fixed proportions (ex: H^2O always has 2 hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom)
Term
Dalton's atomic theory (5)
Definition
(1) all matter is made of small particles called atoms
(2) an atom cannot be created, destroyed, or divided
(3) each atom for each element is identical in mass and size but different in mass and size from atoms of other elements
(4) compounds are created when atoms of different elements link together in definite proportions
(5) the atomic mass of hydrogen is defined as one
Term
Define: precipitate
Definition
- a solid formed from two fluids
Term
Why can't you see the particles in a solid move?
Definition
Particles usually translate, rotate, and vibrate, but in a solid they do not translate. They just move slightly in place.
Term
Evidence of a chemical change (5):
Definition
--heat is absorbed or produced
--reactants are consumed
--change in color
--gas formed
--precipitate formed
Term
define: toxicity
Definition
effect on living organisms
Term
define: reactivity
Definition
ability to be involved in a chemical reaction with other substances
Term
define: combustibility
Definition
the ability to burst into flames
Term
Why does a candle need a wick to burn?
Definition
Because the flame needs something to support it, even though the actual fuel for the fire is the gas from the wax.
Term
How would you tell if something is pure (metal) or not?
Definition
First you measure the density (mass over volume) of the pure metal, then you measure the density of the object, and see if they are the same.
Term
How can you figure out the volume of an irregularly shaped object?
Definition
You put the object in water and figure out how much it displaces. This figure is the volume.
Term
What was the original elemental theory?
Definition
Everything in the world was composed of mixtures of 4 elements: earth, wind, fire, and water. For example, alcohol is a liquid that burns, therefore it would be both fire and water.
Term
What scientific law did Lavoisier state?
Definition
The law of definite proportions
Term
What did Francis Bacon contribute to the scientific world?
Definition
proposed the original scientific method (or the lab report) which helped scientists share their information with other scientists
Term
What contributions did Robert Boyle give to the scientific world?
Definition
Rejected four elements theory; proposed that pure substances can come together to form compounds
Term
What did Antoine Lavoisier demostrate?
Definition
That pure substances could not be decomposed physically
Term
What did Humphrey Davy do?
Definition

Term
What did Jons Jacob Berzelius do?
