-
Crystalline Solid
A type of solid state of matter that. They are geometric in shape. For example salt or diamonds
-
Amorphous Solids
Another type of solid state of matter. They do NOT have a geometric shape. For example glass or rubber.
-
Physical Properties
describe an objects mass, weight, color, or, odor
-
Chemical Properties
describe a substances reactivity
-
Law of conservation of energy
The energy of an object at rest is equal to the energy of the object in motion.
-
Kinetic Energy
The energy of an object at work or in motion
-
Potential Energy
The energy of an object at rest
-
Democritus/Leucippus
Both were early greek philosphers who discovered that matter is made up of tiny indestructible particles called atoms
-
Demitri Mendeleev
The founder of the periodic table. He organized elements on the periodic table by their relative mass and similar properties.
-
John Dalton
In 1808 Dalton created the his Theory of atoms. He expanded Democritus and Leucippus ideas of matter. His theory still holds true today
-
Ernest Rutherford
was J.J. Thompsons successor. He created the gold foil experiment which proved Thompson's plum pudding model invalid. He proved that an atoms mass comes mostly from the nucleus.
-
Marie and Perrie Currie
Both were early scientist who created elements. Marie won a nobel prize for her work and had an element named after her.
-
Amadeo Avagardo
The creator of the number 6.022 x 1023. We can use that number to find the number of molecules, atoms, and subparticles within a substance.
-
Atomic number
The number of the chemical symbol. It can tell us the number of protons an element has.
-
Atomic mass
The number below the chemical symbol. When the atomic number is subtracted from the atomic mass the number of nuetrons can be found.
-
isotope
An element that is radioactive in nature. This is because the element has more or less nuetrons than protons
-
-
wavelength
The distance between adjacent crests
-
electromagnetic spectrum
Shows the energy from long wavelengths with low energy to short wavelengths with high energy. For example from radio waves to gamma rays.
-
frequency
The distance a wavelength travels in one second
-
excitation of an electron
This is when an electron in an atom gains energy and goes up an energy level.
-
relaxation of an electron
When an electron in an atom loses energy and goes down an energy level.
-
Pauli Exclusion Principle
Orbitals may hold no more than two electrons with opposing spins
-
ionization energy
When energy between ions is strong.
-
Niels Bohr
One of the creators of the Bohr's model and quantum mechanical model. He stated "God does not role dice with the universe."
-
Erwin Schrodinger
Another partner in creating the quantum mechanical model. He stated "Their can be a yes and no answer, and they won't contradict each other".
-
G. N. Lewis
The creator of Lewis Theory. He used dot structures or Lewis structure to represent molecules and compounds.
-
pure covalent bond
When atoms share electrons equally between each other
-
polar covalent bond
When atoms share electrons. Just not equally
-
Ionic Bond
When electrons are transferred.
-
Pressure
The force exterted on the Earth by gravity
-
Charles Law
The law that deals with volume and temperature. It states that volume and temperature are directly porportional
-
Avogardo's Law
equal volumes of gas, temperature, and pressure contain the same number of moles
-
Surface tension
The skin created on liquids. When atoms interact with their neighbors creating a net inward force
-
Viscosity
The resistance for liquid to flow
-
Evaporation
when a substance changes from its liquid state to gaseous state
-
Condensation
When a substance changes from its gaseous state to its liquid state
-
Sublimiation
When a substance changes directly from its solid state to gaseous state
-
Solvent
The liquid a solute is dissolved in to form a solution
-
Solution
The combination of the solvent and the dissolved solute
-
Henry's Law
The volume of a gas is directly porportional to the number of moles. The temperature is inversely porportional to the pressue
-
molality
A measure of the concentration of the solute within a solution
-
Dynamic Chemical Equilibrium
The rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction
-
Le Chateliers Principle
When a chemical system at equilibrium is disturbed the system shifts in the direction to minimize the disturbance.
-
effect of a catalyst
Provide an alternate route with a lower activation energy
-
energy of activation
The amount of energy required by certain substances to have a reaction
-
biological catalyst
enzymes
-
Alkanes
Hydrocarbons bonded only by single bonds. They are also known as saturated hydrocarbons
-
Alkenes
hydrocarbons that contain one single bond and at least one double bond between carbon atoms. They are unsaturated hydrocarbons
-
Alkynes
are hydrocarbons that contain at least one triple bond between carbon atoms.
