Physical properties vs Chemical Properties
Physical Properties | Chemical Properties |
|---|---|
Things you can observe or measure without changing the substance.
| Describe how a substance reacts or changes to form something new. |
Example: Color, shape, size, mass, volume, melting point, boiling point, density, luster, evaporation | Example: Flammability, ability to rust, reactivity with acid, toxicity, combustion |
Testing doesn’t change the substance. | Testing usually changes the substance. |
Physical change vs Chemical change
Physical Change | Chemical Change |
|---|---|
The substance stays the same, only its appearance or state changes. | A new substance is formed with different properties. |
Example: Ice melting into water — it's still water, just a different form. | Example: Iron rusting — iron turns into iron oxide (rust), a new substance. |
Usually reversible (you can often get back the original form). | Usually not easily reversible. |
Pure substance:
They are made up of only one kind of particle and have a fixed or constant structure
Only one type of substance present and cannot be separated into simpler substances by physical means.
Ex: H2O, O2 (no matter how they are prepared, they will always have this ratio of atoms)
They are classified as elements and compounds
Element
Made of only one type of atom.
Simplest form of a substance.
Cannot be broken down into anything simpler by chemical means.
Ex
Oxygen (O₂)
Gold (Au) ]
Hydrogen (H₂)
Iron (Fe)
Compound
Made of two or more different elements chemically combined in fixed ratios.
Can be broken down into simpler substances (elements) through chemical reactions.
Have different properties than the elements that make them.
Examples:
Water (H₂O) — made of hydrogen and oxygen.
Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) — made of carbon and oxygen.
Salt (NaCl) — made of sodium and chlorine.
Mixture
More than one type of substance present
can be seperated by filteration
Heterogenous Mixtures
Can’t see through (mayo, steel, ketchup )
Homogenous
Can see through (Tap water, kool aid)
Isotope
2 or more forms of an element that have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. Has unique mass number.
cation
a positive charged ion
anion
negative charged ion
Quantative observation:
measurable or countable, usually involves numbers
Qualitative observation:
describable, not measurable, usually involves adjectives
Ex: The triple beam balance has a metallic, reflective surface and a sliding weight system.
Mixtures
More than one type of substance present
Homogeneous or Heterogeneous
What is an Ion?
An ion is a charged atom because it has more or less electrons. This means its number of protons is not equal to its number of electrons .
What is an isotope?
2 or more forms of an element that have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons.
They have the same atomic number but a different atomic mass
Each isotope has a unique mass number.
For example:
( Cabon 14)
# of protons : 6
# of neutrons: 8
# of electrons: 6
Property
characteristic that describes a substance
Matter
Anything that has mass and takes up space
Molecule:
Two or more atoms that are chemically combined
Atom:
The smallest particle of an element: a basic unit of matter
Metal
The metal element loses 1 or more of its valence electrons and becomes a cation
Nonmetal
The nonmetal element gains 1 or more of its valence electrons and becomes an anion
Alkali metals
Group 1
very soft and easy to cut through
very reactive - most reactive metals
react violently with water and oxygen
1 outer shell electron
Alkali earth metals:
Group 2
highly reactive but not as much as alkali metals
gives off bright light when burn in air
harder/denser
2 outer shell electrons
Halogens
Group 17
most reactive non-metal
react with hydrogen to form compounds, which when dissolved in water becomes acid
7 outer shell electrons
not all in gaseaous state
Noble gasses
odorless, coloourless gasses at room temperature
Least reactive due to stable electron arrangements
group 18
Metals (left side of starcase)
Good conductors of heat and electricity
shiny, malleable, ductile, lustre
usually have high densities and high boiling points
usually in solid state in room temperature
mercury is the only metal that is liquid
Non metals (right side of staircase)
Dull, poor conductor, brittle, commonly form negative ions
fluorine is the most reactive of all elements
hydrogen is the only non - metal existing on the left side with the metals
Metalloids (along the staircase)
solids, brittle, semi-conductors
Ex: boron, silcon, arsenic
5 factors that a chemical change has occured
Change in colour
Formation of precipate (cloudness will occur due to insoluble solid)
A gas is produced or a change in smell is noticed ( if the smell is the same before and agter that is not a change)
Change in energy - heat, light or electricity are used or produced
It is difficult to reverse (irreversble)
Elements in the same ____ have very similar chemical properties .
group/family
What do elements in the same period have in common?
same number of elctron shells.
Elements in the same horizontal row belong to the same
period
Elements in the same vertical columun in the tsble is called a
group or a family
HCl (aq)
hydrochloric acid
HI (aq)
hydroiodic acid
HF (aq)
hydrofluoric acid
hydrochloric acid
HCl (aq)
hydrofluoric acid
HF (aq)
hydrobromic acid
HBr (aq)
hydroiodic acid
HI (aq)
The stock system and ic and ous system (multivalent metal Ions)
These systems are used when the metal element had more than one possible oxidation number
The stock system
Uses roman numbers indicating the oxidation number of the metal element
Binary compounds/ covalent
compounds consisting 2 nonmetals
Binary compounds/ covalent naming
Mono
Di
Tri
Tetra
Penta
Hexa
Hepta
Octa
Nona
Deca
The mono prefix is omitted for the first element
In naming covalent/ binary the acceptions are:
NH3- Ammonia
H2O- Water
Hydrogen acception for Binary/covalent compound naming
Hydrogen as the first element makes the prefixes omitted.
HCL→ Hydrogen chloride
What are polyatomic Ions?
A group of covalently bonded atoms with an overall charge from gaining or losing electrons.
Can be seperated by a chemical reaction, not physical
What are binary acids?
Binary acids are composed of two elements, with hydrogen + a nonmetal
Peroxides
More than one oxygen than usual in a compound
Ex: Na2O2 → Sodium peroxide
H2O2 → Hydrogen peroxide
when do you use ous
when the charge is lower on a metal that can have multiple charges
when do you use ic
when the charge is higher on a metal that have multiple charges
