Matter
Anything that has mass and takes up space
Atom
Smallest unit of matter that forms a chemical element
Difference between matter and energy
matter has mass and takes up space, energy does not
What is an isotope?
atoms with the same number of protons and electrons but different number of neutrons
How to find relative atomic mass
(Mass x abundance) + (mass x abundance) / total abundance
Molecule
A group of atoms bonded together
What are atoms made of?
protons, neutrons, electrons
How much is 1 amu in grams?
1.67 x 10^-24
mass number (atomic mass)
number of protons plus the number of neutrons in an atom of an element
atomic number
the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom
How to find number of electrons?
same as the number of protons
How to find the number of neutrons
mass number - atomic number
What is an ion?
Atoms or molecules with an overall positive or negative charge (when the number of electrons and protons are uneven)
What is the relative mass of an electron
0.00054
What is an element
A substance made up of only one type of atom
What is a compound
A substance made up of two or more bonded types of atoms.
What is a mixture
A substance made up of two or more elements or compounds not chemically bonded together.
Why do pure substances have fixed melting and boiling points?
Because their particles are identical leading to a consistent intermolecular force
Why do mixtures have varying boiling and melting points?
A mixture has two or more different elements or compounds which have different melting and boiling points, leading to different components melting at different temperatures.
