Empirical formulas
give the lowest whole-number ratio of atoms of each element in a compound
Molecular formulas
give the exact number of atoms of each element in a compound
Pure substance
composition always same, made of a single type of atom or molecule
Mixture
variable composition; different characteristics, made of 2 or more types of atoms or molecules
Element
pure substance, cannot be broken down, composed of 1 kind of atom
Compounds
Pure substance, chemical combo of elements, made of 2+ atoms chemically combined
Homogenous
Mixture, uniform composition throughout the sample, atoms/molecules mixed uniformly, every piece of a sample has identical characteristics
Heterogeneous
Mixture, does not have uniform composition throughout, atoms/molecules not mixed uniformly, different pieces of sample have different characteristics
Solution
homogenous mixture
Dissolve
to mix in
Soluble
substance dissolves
Insoluble
substance does not dissolve
Solute
substance to be dissolved in solvent
Solvent
substance that dissolves the solute
Intensive properties
do not depend on the amount of matter (mass) in a sample
Extensive properties
depend on how much matter a sample contains
Evidence of chemical change
production of heat, light; sound is given off; new color appears; evolution of gas, fizzing; precipitation
Isotope
atoms of the same element having different masses due to varying numbers of neutrons
Ion
an atom that has lost or gained one or more electrons and has become charged either positively or negatively
Ionic bond
don’t forget to write the definition. don’t u dare. nooooo
Covalent bond
atoms share an electron

Combustion
CxHy + O2 → CO2 + H2O
Decomposition (Hydroxide)
XOH → XO + H2O
Decomposition (Chlorate)
XClO3 → XCl + O2
Decomposition (Carbonate)
XCO3 → XO + CO2
Decomposition (Metal Oxide)
XO → X + O2
Percent Yield
(actual yield / theoretical yield)*100
Hydrate equation
Anhydrous solid*xH2O → Anhydrous solid + xH2O
Hydrate mass
Masshydrate = Massanhydrous solid + MassH2O
Calculating coefficient hydrate thing
(molH2O)/(molanhydrous solid) = x
