Classification of Matter

Get a hint
Hint

Matter can be classified into two broad categories: pure substances and mixtures. A pure substance is a form of matter that has a constant composition and properties that are constant throughout the sample. Mixtures are physical combinations of two or more elements and/or compounds.

Classification of Matter

Matter can be classified into two broad categories: pure substances and mixtures. A pure substance is a form of matter that has a constant composition and properties that are constant throughout the sample. Mixtures are physical combinations of two or more elements and/or compounds.

2
New cards

Pure substance

a sample of matter with both definite and constant composition and distinct chemical properties.

3
New cards

Element

a fundamental item that can't be easily broken into smaller pieces. In chemistry and physics, an element is a substance that can't be broken down by non-nuclear reactions. In computing and mathematics, an element is a distinct piece of a larger system or set.

4
New cards

Compound

is a substance made up of two or more different chemical elements combined in a fixed ratio. When the elements come together, they react with each other and form chemical bonds that are difficult to break.

5
New cards

heterogeneous mixture

is a mixture in which the composition is not uniform throughout the mixture. A phase is a separate layer in a heterogeneous mixture.

6
New cards

homogenous mixture

is one whose composition is uniform throughout the mixture. It is the type of mixture where the composition is constant throughout or the components that make up the mixture are distributed uniformly.

7
New cards

physical property

a characteristic of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing the identity of the substance

8
New cards

Chemical Properties

<a substance like an element or a compound, relating to how it can change as a result of a reaction.> These properties are inherent to its chemical identity, a result of bonds and other characteristics of a substance's atomic structure.

9
New cards

Changes

a change of materials into another, new materials with different properties and one or more than one new substances are formed

10
New cards

Scientific Notation

represents a number as a factor multiplied by a power of 10

11
New cards

Significant Figures

the digits of value which carry meaning towards the resolution of the measurement.

12
New cards

Atomic Model

a model used to describe the structure and makeup of an atom.

13
New cards

Histroy

The history of chemistry represents a time span from ancient history to the present. By 1000 BC, civilizations used technologies that would eventually form the basis of the various branches of chemistry.

14
New cards

Subatomic Particles

a particle which is smaller than an atom in size.

15
New cards

Isotopes

atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons (i.e., atomic number, "Z") but a different number of neutrons

16
New cards

IONS

is an atom or group of atoms that has an electric charge.

17

PERIODIC TABLE

-

18
New cards

columns (families) 1 – 18

elements with similar chemical properties form vertical columns, called groups, numbered from 1 to 18

19
New cards

vertical

v_____ columns on the periodic table are called groups or families

20
New cards

alkali metals

any of the six chemical elements that make up Group 1 (Ia) of the periodic table—namely, lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), cesium (Cs), and francium (Fr). The alkali metals are so called because reaction with water forms alkalies

21
New cards

alkaline earth metals, 

any of the six chemical elements that comprise Group 2 (IIa) of the periodic table. The elements are beryllium (Be), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), barium (Ba), and radium (Ra).

22
New cards

transition metal

any of various chemical elements that have valence electrons—i.e., electrons that can participate in the formation of chemical bonds—in two shells instead of only one

scandium (symbol Sc, atomic number 21) or titanium (symbol Ti, atomic number 22) and ends with zinc (symbol Zn, atomic number 30). The second series includes the elements yttrium (symbol Y, atomic number 39) to cadmium (symbol Cd, atomic number 48). The third series extends from lanthanum (symbol La, atomic number 57) to mercury (symbol Hg, atomic number 80)

23
New cards

halogens

Group 7A (or VIIA) of the periodic table are the : fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), iodine (I), and astatine (At). The name "halogen" means "salt former", derived from the Greek words halo- ("salt") and -gen ("formation")

24
New cards

noble gases

Group 8A (or VIIIA) of the periodic table are the n_____ ___s or inert gases: helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe), and radon (Rn). The name comes from the fact that these elements are virtually unreactive towards other elements or compounds.

25
New cards

rows (periods) 1-7

a horizontal r__ of the periodic table. There are seven periods in the periodic table, with each one beginning at the far left.

26
New cards

horizontal

The h______ rows in the periodic table are periods, while the vertical rows are called groups

27
New cards

Ionization energy

the amount of energy required to remove an electron from an isolated atom or molecule.

28
New cards

Electronegativity

a chemical property that describes the power of an atom in a molecule to attract shared-pair electrons towards itself

29
New cards

Electron affinity

the energy change that results from adding an electron to a gaseous atom

30
New cards

Atomic radius

the total distance from the nucleus of an atom to the outermost orbital of its electron

31
New cards

Ionic radius

the distance between the nucleus of an ion and the outermost shell of the ion.

32
New cards

Valence electrons,

the electrons in the outermost shell, or energy level, of an atom

33
New cards

Core electrons

the electrons in an atom that are not valence electrons and do not participate in chemical bonding

34
New cards
