Basic particle for everything. Consists of a positively charged center, aka the nucleus surrounded by negative charges.

New cards
elements
substance that cannot be broken down into any toher substance by chemical or physical means.
3
New cards
physical change
alter form/appearance but substance is still the same ex: phase change, shape change)
4
New cards
chemical change
the substance changes to a new one by breaking down into two or more other substances, or combining Atoms rearrange to form new substances ex: oxidation. combustion
5
New cards
Law of conservation of mass
matter is not created or destroyed
6
New cards
solution
mixture of a liquid and dissolved solid
7
New cards
solute
solid
8
New cards
solvent
liquid
9
New cards
reactants
substances that undergo chemical change
10
New cards
products
New substances that form
11
New cards
What does every chemical and physical change include?
a change in energy
12
New cards
What are two types of changes in energy?
exothermic and endothermic
13
New cards
endothermic change
change where energy is absorbed because there is more energy needed to break the bonds of the reactants. Often the area around becomes cooler due to this. Ex: baking soda (Reactant) and vinegar
14
New cards
exothermic change
change where energy is released as there is excess energy after breaking the bonds of the reactants. The energy is often released as heat.
15
New cards
chemical energy
energy the is stored in chemical bonds between atoms.
16
New cards
Periodic table is organized by
groups and periods
17
New cards
valence electrons
electrons with the highest energy. Atoms are more stable with 8 valence electrons. In the outermost orbital
18
New cards
Chemical Bond
force of attraction that hold atoms together as result of rearrangement of electrons between them.
19
New cards
Groups
vertical columns same # of valence
20
New cards
Periods
horizontal rows same # of orbitals
21
New cards
atomic number
the # of protons (usually equal to the # of electrons )
22
New cards
atomic mass
# of protons + # of neutrons
23
New cards
Neutrons and Protons are where?
are in the Nucleus
24
New cards
Electrons are where?
are in orbitals
25
New cards
Isotopes
atoms of the same element with different # of neutrons. Protons don't change. Change in neutrons can be found in atomic mass.
26
New cards
Ions
Have unequal # of electrons and protons. Protons don't change so number of electrons can be find from the charge.
27
New cards
cations
positively charged
28
New cards
anions
negatively charged.
29
New cards
Orbital limits
2, 8, 18, 32
30
New cards
Bohr Model Diagram
Shows it all with a circle nucleus with the protons and neutrons. The orbitals are then drawn with electrons.
31
New cards
Lewis Dot Structure
only the VE
32
New cards
Molecules
a neutral group of two or more atoms bound together by chemical bonds.
33
New cards
Compound
Substance made of 2 or more atoms combined in a set ratio.
34
New cards
Chemical Formula
Ratio to make a compound, represents compound. Ex: Carbon Dioxide which is CO2 H20 water KCl Potassium Chloride or salt
35
New cards
Mixture
made of two substances that are together but not chemically bonded. Is either Homogenous or Heterogenous
36
New cards
Heterogenous mixture
Easily separated, often can see different parts (salad, Italian dressing)
37
New cards
Homogenous mixture
evenly mixed, cannot see different parts, difficult to (ex sugar and water)
38
New cards
Types of Bonds
Metallic, Ionic, Covalent
39
New cards
Metallic bonds
metal atoms lose electrons easily, so bonds form between positive metal ions & the electrons surrounding Ex: aluminum foil
40
New cards
Ionic bonds
Attraction between opposite charged ions causes and ionic compound. usually form between metal and non-metal
41
New cards
Covalent Bonds
bonds usually form between nonmetal bonds. when atoms share electrons.
42
New cards
Polar
unequal sharing of electrons
43
New cards
Nonpolar
equal sharing of electrons
44
New cards
pH scale
range of 0-14 indicates concentration of H+ ions
45
New cards
Bases
have hydroxide ion OH-. Bases are the highest numbers in the pH scale
46
New cards
acid
have hydrogen ions H+, hydrogen atoms that lost its electron. Acids are the lowest on the scale.
