Term
What is the difference between a chemical and physical change?
Definition
A chemical change is a change inwhich one or more substances are converted into a differnt.

Physical changes don't alter the identity but the appearance of a substance
Term
What is a substance?
Definition
A fixed composition that's always homogenous
Term
What does the arrow mean in a chemical equation?
Definition
means Yeilds to another reaction
Term
How is a substance different from a mixture?
Definition
Every sample of a given pure substance has exactly the same characteristic properties. Every sample of a pure mixture has exactly the same composition.
Term
The following are examples of what?

*chocolate melting when heated
*Cutting a piece of paper into pieces
Definition
PHysical Change
Term
What is the purpose of a chemical equation?

Definition
An atom's positive center
Term
What do neutrons do?
Definition

What determines the mass number of an element?
Definition
The number of protons and the number of neutrons.
Term
What is the difference between mass number and the atomic mass on the periodic table?
Definition
The atomic mass the average occuring weight of the atom and the mass number is the sum of cell proton and neutron

Term
What is the difference between a spin "up" and a spin "down" electron?
Definition
"up" contain one electron, "down" contain two
Term

Definition
Incondescence
Term
What is the difference between Flourescence and Phosphorescence?
Definition
Floresence happens immediately, Phosphorescence takes a little while
Term
How are flourescence and phosphorescence similar?
Definition
Both absorb light at high frequency.
Term
What are the basic organizing prinicples of the modern periodic table?
Definition
It arranges the element by both the atomic number and it's properties.
Term
Where on the periodic table are the non-metals?
Definition
D-Block
Term
Why are the noble gases monstly unreactive?
Definition
Because extrastable mean loew energy configuration.
Term
What does the stair-step on the periodic table represent?
Definition
The difference between the Metals and Non-metals
Term
The transition metals are elements with their last electron in a __ Subshell
Definition
P
Term
What is the Valence shell of an atom?
Definition
The subshell witht the highest coefficent
Term
How is the radius of an atom defined?
Definition
It's half the distance between the nuclei of identical atoms that are bound together.
Term
Positive ions tend to be smaller than a neutral atom because...?
Definition
There's fewer electrons repelling eachother so they are incapable of getting closer to eachother.
Term
Where are the elements with the largest electronegativity?
Definition
The upper right of the P-Block.
Term
Where are the largest Neutral Atoms?
Definition
Bottom of the S-Block
Term
Ehhh... What the heck. Here's a periodic table of elements. why not?
Definition

Nonmetals  = Group 14-18 on right side of stair step

Metals            = Group 13 (excluding stair step)

Transitive metals= D-Block and F-Block

 

When reading the Periodic table from left to right you see S, D, P, F versus it's usual form of S, P, D, F (which list the blocks inorder from least to greatest)
