Study Notes
Chemical vs. Physical Changes
- A chemical change results in a new substance, while a physical change does not.
- Dissolving salt in water is a physical change.
- Boiling mercury is a physical change
- Burning a match is a chemical change.
- Painting a house, then the house burning down, shows both types of changes
- Melting ice is physical.
- Breaking a pencil is physical.
Significant Figures
- When performing calculations, pay attention to significant figures
Properties of Elements
- Elements can be distinguished by their hardness, brittleness, density, and transparency.
Physical Changes
- A physical change alters a substance's form, not its chemical composition.
- For example, a liquid evaporating is a physical change.
Scientific Notation
- Use scientific notation to express very large or very small numbers in a concise way
- Example: 0.00397 is 3.97 × 10⁻³
Atomic Structure
- Atoms are composed of subatomic particles, including protons, neutrons, and electrons.
- Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge, and electrons have a negative charge.
Isotopes
- Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons.
Atomic Mass
- The average atomic mass of an element considers the abundance of its isotopes.
