Study Notes
Physical Properties
- Expressed in kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³) or grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³), indicating compactness of materials.
- Properties categorized as intensive (independent of amount, e.g., color, density) or extensive (dependent on amount, e.g., mass, volume).
- Specific gravity: ratio of a substance's density to a standard (commonly water at 4°C for liquids, air at 20°C for gases).
- General physical properties: mass, volume, weight, density.
Metallic Properties
- Conductivity: ability of material to conduct heat/electricity (thermal or electrical conductors).
- Malleability: capacity to be flattened into thin sheets.
- Ductility: ability to be drawn into wires.
- Reactivity: tendency of a substance to undergo chemical change (e.g., Fluorine is highly reactive, Noble gases show little reactivity).
Chemical Properties
- Characteristics observable only when a material's chemical identity changes.
- Biodegradability: capacity of a material to decompose via microorganisms (organic materials decompose more easily than synthetic ones).
Periodic Table of Elements
- 118 recognized elements, arranged by increasing atomic number, reflecting similar chemical properties.
- Each element is represented by a symbol, element name, atomic number, and atomic mass.
- Metalloids/Semimetals: exhibit mixed properties of metals and nonmetals, can conduct electricity like metals but not as efficiently.
Separation Techniques
- Sedimentation: suspended solids settle under gravity, allowing liquid separation through decantation.
- Filtration: separates solids from liquids using filtering material; easier for immiscible liquids with a separatory funnel.
- Centrifugation: uses high-speed rotation to separate components in suspension or colloid.
Accuracy and Precision
- Accuracy: closeness of measurements to the true value.
- Precision: degree of agreement among successive measurements.
- Analyzing accuracy and precision helps validate experimental data.
Practice Measurement Evaluation
- For a mass of a standard sample of 75.0 grams, ranges measured by three groups show precision levels; Group 2 is most precise with the smallest range.
- Mnemonic for differentiation: "ACcurate is Correct" and "PRecise is Repeating."
