|
precision
|
need 2 or more measurements and it is how close the numbers are compared to the other ones in a group
|
|
accuracy
|
how close you are to the actual measurement
|
|
intensive property
|
does not depend on the amount of material
ex. density
|
|
extensive
|
does depend on the amount of material
ex. mass, volume
|
|
rounding with 5's followed by 0's: even
|
if it is a five followed by zeros or a 5, and the last number to be retained is even, drop the 5s and the zeros after
ex. 1.450000 to 1.4
|
|
rounding with 5s followed by 0s: odd
|
if the last digit to be retained is followed by 5s and 0s or just a 5, add one to the odd number and drop the 5 and 0s
ex. 1.567500000 to 1.5678
|
|
atomic number
|
number of protons in the nucleus. never changes. atoms identity
|
|
mass number
|
number of protons plus neutrons
|
|
isotope
|
same atom, diff number of neutrons
|
|
atomic mass
|
1 amu= 1/12 of the mass of carbon 12
|
|
specific heat
|
amount of heat energy (cal or J) needed to warm one gram of a substance by 1 degree celcius
|
|
specific heat formula
|
q= change in temp x sh x mass
|
|
how many calories= 1 C
|
1000
|
|
density formula
|
d= m/v
g/ml
|
|
what is density
|
measure of compactness of matter
|
|
matter
|
anything that occupies space or has mass
|
|
element
|
basic building block of matter
|
|
model
|
some kind of physical picture or math expression of a theory
|
|
F to C equation
|
F= 9/5C + 32
|
|
K to C equation
|
K= C + 273.15
|
|
law of conservation of matter
|
mass of products= mass of reactants
|
|
law of constant composition
|
multiple samples of any pure chemical compound always contain the same % by mass of each element making up the compound
|
|
size trend in periodic table
|
as we go down a group we get larger (more rows of electrons), as we go across a row we get smaller (more proton pull)
|
|
ionization energy
|
amount of energy required to move and electron from an electrically neutral atom
|
|
ionization energy trend in periodic table
|
as we go down groups energy is less (v. electron is farther away from nucleus) as we go across periods it gets more (more pull from nucleus from protons)
|
|
the bigger the atomic number... the _ the size and _ the pull
|
smaller the size and stronger
|
|
cation
|
positively charged atom
|
|
anion
|
negatively charged atom

Rutherford is famous for...
|
his gold/alpha particle experiment and discovering a nucleus
|
|
Thompson model of atom
|
plum pudding model
|
|
law of Mendeleev
|
properties of the elements recur in regular cycles (periodically) when the elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic mass
|
|

|
|
metals
|
shiny solids, bendable, malleable, conduct heat and electricy
|
|
nonmetals
|
brittle, do not conduct electricity and heat well, they are insulators. in between gases and metalloids, and H
|
|
metalloids
|
7 exist. properties are in between metal and nonmetal. they are semiconductors
|
|
chemical property
|
