Matter

Anything that has mass and takes up space

2
New cards

Atom

Smallest unit of matter that forms a chemical element

3
New cards

Difference between matter and energy

matter has mass and takes up space, energy does not

4
New cards

What is an isotope?

atoms with the same number of protons and electrons but different number of neutrons

5
New cards

How to find relative atomic mass

(Mass x abundance) + (mass x abundance) / total abundance

6
New cards

Molecule

A group of atoms bonded together

7
New cards

What are atoms made of?

protons, neutrons, electrons

8
New cards

How much is 1 amu in grams?

1.67 x 10^-24

9
New cards

mass number (atomic mass)

number of protons plus the number of neutrons in an atom of an element

10
New cards

atomic number

the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom

11
New cards

How to find number of electrons?

same as the number of protons

12
New cards

How to find the number of neutrons

mass number - atomic number

13
New cards

What is an ion?

Atoms or molecules with an overall positive or negative charge (when the number of electrons and protons are uneven)

14
New cards

What is the relative mass of an electron

0.00054

15
New cards

What is an element

A substance made up of only one type of atom

16
New cards

What is a compound

A substance made up of two or more bonded types of atoms.

17
New cards

What is a mixture

A substance made up of two or more elements or compounds not chemically bonded together.

18
New cards

Why do pure substances have fixed melting and boiling points?

Because their particles are identical leading to a consistent intermolecular force

19
New cards

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.
