1
Chemical Changes
a change of materials into another, new materials with different properties and one or more than one new substances are formed. It results when a substance combines with another to form a new substance
2
Physical Changes
Physical changes are those in which the shape, size, or state of the matter changes, but the substance is still essentially the same. For example, chopping up a carrot or ice melting into water are both physical changes.
3
What is the difference between a physical and chemical change?
In a physical change the appearance or form of the matter changes but the kind of matter in the substance does not. However in a chemical change, the kind of matter changes and at least one new substance with new properties is formed.
4
Chemical Property
In a physical change the appearance or form of the matter changes but the kind of matter in the substance does not. However in a chemical change, the kind of matter changes and at least one new substance with new properties is formed.
5
Physical Property
A physical property is a characteristic of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing the identity of the substance
6
what is the difference between chemical and physical properties?
A physical property is a characteristic of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing the identity of the substance. Physical properties include color, density, hardness, and melting and boiling points. A chemical property describes the ability of a substance to undergo a specific chemical change
7
Intensive Property
a physical property of a system that does not depend on the system size or the amount of material in the system.
8
Extensive Property
a property that depends on the amount of matter in a sample. Mass and volume are examples of extensive properties.
9
What is the difference between Metals, Nonmetals, Metalloids
Metals: Most metals have a shiny metallic luster and reflective surface. Nonmetals: Nonmetals are generally dull or nonreflective and do not have a metallic luster. Metalloids: Metalloids can have a metallic or nonmetallic appearance, depending on the element
10
What is the difference between a element a compound and a mixture
An element is a pure substance which contains identical atoms or molecules with only one type of atomic core. A compound is a pure substance which contains identical molecules with two or more types of atomic core. A mixture is a material which has two or more types of molecules.
11
how to tell if a mixture is homogeneous or heterogeneous:
a homogeneous mixture is one in which different parts (such as salt and water) have been uniformly combined into a new substance (salt water), while a heterogeneous mixture has parts that remain separate.
12
What is a noble gas?
A gaseous chemical element that does not readily enter into chemical combination with other elements. Examples are helium, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon.
13
What is a halogen?
A halogen is a chemical element that forms a salt when it reacts with metal. Ex: luorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), iodine (I), astatine (At), and tennessine (Ts)..
14
What is Chemistry?
The study of matter
15
What is matter?
Anything that has mass and takes up space
16
What are the 6 branches of chemistry?
1-Organic 2-Inorganic 3-analytical 4-physical 5-biochemistry 6- theoretical
17
Organic
The study of carbon containing compounds
18
Inorganic
The study of non-caarbon containing compounds
19
Analytical
Analysis of the composition of substances
20
Physical
studying the interaction of matter and energy
21
Biochemistry
Studying the chemistry of living things
22
Theoretical
Using computer and mathematical models
23
Carbon is where
EVERYWHERE
24
Properties of matter:
Extensive property- Depends on the amt of substance (ex. volume, mass)
Intensice property- Does not depend on the amt of substance (ex. color, temp)
Physical property- can be observed without changing the identity of the substance (ex. ph, color, mass)
Chemical property- can only be observed by changing the identity of the substance (ex. flammabilty, reactivity)
25
Changes of Matter:
Physical changes; DO NOT altar the identity of the substance (ex. tearing, griding, crumbling)
26
Changes of state:
Solid; definite shape and volume
Liquid; definite volume, indefinite shape
Gas; indefinite volume and shape
27
Chemical Changes:
Do altar the identity of the substance (chemical reactions)
28
Any acid is a....
COMPOUND
