theory

attempt to explain why something happens

New cards
10

natural law

observed measurable behavior

New cards
11

steps of scientific method

make observations, formulate hypothesis, perform experiments

New cards
12

accuracy

agreement of a particular value with the true value

New cards
13

precision

degree of agreement among several measurements of the same quantity

New cards
14

(sig figs) Non zero digits

always sig fig

New cards
15

(sig figs) leading zeros

never sig fig

New cards
16

(sig figs) captive zeros

always sig fig

New cards
17

(sig figs) trailing zeros

only sig fig if the number has a decimal point

New cards
18

(sig figs) exact numbers

infinite number of sig figs

New cards
19

sig fig rules for addition or subtraction

result has same number of decimal places as the least precise measurement in equation

New cards
20

sig fig rules for multiplication or division

result has the same amount of sig figs as the least precise measurement in the equation

New cards
21

density

d=m/v

New cards
22

matter

anything that has weight and takes up space

New cards
23

homogenous mixture

parts cannot be seen

New cards
24

heterogenous mixture

parts can be seen

New cards
25

properties of a solid

rigid, fixed volume and shape, slightly compressible

New cards
26

properties of a liquid

definite volume, no specific shape, slightly compressible

New cards
27

properties of a gas

no fixed volume or shape, highly compressible

New cards
28

mixture

has variable composition, can be separated into pure substances, behaves the same as before they were mixed and after being separated

New cards
29

physical change

change in form, no change in chemical substance, used to separate mixture into compounds

New cards
30

3 methods of separating components in a mixture

distillation, filtration, chromatography

New cards
31

distillation

depends on boiling point, heating the mixture, vapor is passed through condenser where it returns to liquid state

New cards
32

filtration

used when mixture contains a solid and a liquid; liquid passes through filter, solid stays behind

New cards
33

chromatography

mobile phase, stationary phase; separation occurs because the components have different affinities for the two phases

New cards
34

compound

pure substance with a constant composition that can be broken down into its elements

New cards
35

element

pure substance that cannot be further broken down by physical or chemical means

New cards
36

law of multiple proportions

when two elements form a series of compounds, the ratios of the masses of the second element that combine with the 1g of the first elements can always be reduced to small whole numbers

New cards
37

dalton’s atomic theory

each element is made up of atoms, atoms of any given element are identical, chemical compounds are formed when atoms of two elements combine, chemical reactions involve the reorganization of atoms

New cards
38

cathode ray

cathode ray was a stream of electrons

New cards
39

radioactivity

discovered through spontaneous emission by uranium

New cards
40

gamma rays

high energy light

New cards
41

beta particles

high speed electrons

New cards
42

alpha particles

particles with 2+ charge

New cards
43

protons

positive charge, in the nucleus of the atom, amount determines the element

New cards
44

electron

negative charge, in the electron cloud around the nucleus of the atom

New cards
45

isotope

atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons

New cards
46

covalent bond

sharing of electrons

New cards
47

chemical formula

uses symbols of elements to indicate types of atoms present in the molecule, subscripts indicate relative number of atoms

New cards
48

ion

atom or group of atoms with a negative or positive charge

New cards
49

cation

positive ion formed by losing electrons

New cards
50

anion

negative ion formed by gaining electrons

New cards
51

ionic bond

force of attraction between oppositely charged ions

New cards
52

Grp 1A, lose 1e to form 1+ ion

New cards
53

alkali earth metals

grp 2A, loses 2e to form 2+ ion

New cards
54

halogens

grp7A, form diatomic molecules

New cards
55

composed of 2 elements, some include covalent and ionic compounds

New cards
58

binary ionic compounds

contain a cation (written first), and an anion
