the Rutherford Model
1911, Ernest Rutherford, thought atom was mostly empty space, electrons randomly orbit a small, positively charged nucleus
crystalline solid
a solid that is made up of crystals
what 3 parts make up an atom?
protons, neutrons, electrons
what is the temperature in which water freezes?
0 degrees celsius
Boyle's law
when the pressure of a gas increases at constant temperature, the volume decreases and vise versa. graph makes a curve
heterogeneous mixture
a mixture where you can see the different parts. example: soil
chemical change
a change in matter that produces one or more new substances
what happens when elements are combined?
their properties change completely from the properties of the compound uncombined
the Bohr Model
1913, Niels Bohr, said that electrons formed specific layers instead or random ones, said atoms atoms absorb and give off energy when the electrons move from one shell to another
chemical formula
shows the elements in the compound and the ratio of atoms
the Dalton Model
1808, John Dalton, elements are made of atoms that are all alike, thought different elements had different mass, tiny solid balls
mixture
made of two or more substances (elements, compounds, or both) that are together in the same place but not combined
liquid
has a definite volume but not a definite shape. the particles are free to move
gas
a state of matter with no definite shape or volume
electrons
move rapidly around the nucleus and have a negative charge (-)
temperature
the measure of the average energy in the particles of matter
viscosity
a liquids resistance to flowing
boiling
takes place below the surface as well as the surface
changes of state
solid, liquid, gas
volume
the amount of space that matter occupies. common measurements: liter, milliliter, cubic centimeter
solid
has a definite shape and volume. the particles in a solid are closely packed
matter
anything that has mass and takes up space
density formula
density = mass/volume
what happens when the temperature of a gas at constant volume increases?
the pressure increases and vise versa
atomic number
the number of protons in an element's nucleus
physical property
a characteristic of a pure substance that can be observed without changing it into another substance
what is the temperate in which water boils?
100 degrees celsius
physical change
any change that alters the form of appearance of matter but does not change the substance into a different one
period
horizontal row. properties change from left to right in a pattern in a perioud
what kinds of properties are chemical?
creating new substances with new properties, flammability, ability to react (such as rusting, tarnishing)
kinetic theory
explains properties of gases pressure, temperature, and volume by considering the movement of particles
gas
does not have a definite shape or volume. particles move in the air
neutrons
have no charge (±) neutral
compound
a pure substance made of two or more elements chemically combined in a set ratio
what happens to the elements and compounds in a mixture?
each substance in a mixture keeps its individual properties; the properties are not combined in a set ratio
homogeneous mixture
a mixture that is so evenly mixed that you cannot see the different parts. example: solution
actinides
no uses, very unstable, can last for fractions of a second
mass number
the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom (such as carbon-12, 6 neutrons + 6 electrons)
isotopes
atoms with the same number of protons and a different number of neutrons
what kinds of properties are physical?
hardness, texture, color, state of matter, ability to conduct heat and electricity, flexibility; can be used to classify matter
substance
a single kind of matter that is pure (has a specific makeup) and a specific set of properties
chemistry
the study of the properties of matter and how matter changes
changes of shape of form
bending, crushing, breaking, chopping...
amorphous solid
a solid that is made up of particles in an irregular pattern
group
column a.k.a family, families have the similar characteristics
what is helpful to know when working with gases?
volume, temperature, pressure
evaporation
takes place at the surface of a liquid
Charles's law
when the temperature of a gas increases at constant pressure volume increases and vise versa. graph makes a straight line
what two kinds of properties does all matter have?
physical properties and chemical properties
vaporization
the change from a liquid to a gas
chemical property
a characteristic of a pure substance that describes its ability to change into different substance
alkali metals (#1)
react by losing one electron. rarely found uncombined in nature. react with water. uses: some in batteries and medicines, essential to life
valence electrons
the number of electrons in the outermost shell of an atom. determines how well it reacts with other substances. the fewer valence electrons the less likely it is to react and the less stable it is
endothermic change
a change in which energy is taken in. example: melting ice
exothermic change
the release of energy from a substance. example: combustion
transition metals
uses: jewellery, coins, electric wires, paint
why is mass better than weight when measuring substances?
mass is better because it is always constant and weight depends on the amount of gravity pushing down
characteristic property
a characteristic of a pure substance that describes its ability to change into a different substance
thermal energy
the total energy of all the particles in an object
nucleus
the very small center core of an atom
lanthanides
uses: alloys (a mixture of two or more metals), speakers
protons
have a positive charge (+)
pressure
the outward push of a gas on the walls of its container (pressure = force/area)
alkaline earth metals (#2)
good conductors, react by losing two electrons, not as reactive as alkali metals, rarely found uncombined in nature. uses: ladders, airplane parts, car wheels
weight
the measure of the force of gravity on you
energy
the ability to do work; every chemical and physical change includes a change in energy
metals in mixed groups
uses: car batteries, weights
mass
the measurement of the amount of matter in an object
