Questions and Answers

What is the difference between a physical property and a chemical property?

  • A physical property is related to the appearance of a substance, while a chemical property is related to its reactivity with other substances.

    Three states of matter

    Solid, liquid, and gas are the forms matter can take.

    Solid

    Has a definite volume and shape; particles are closely packed.

    Liquid

    Has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container; particles can slide past each other.

    Gas

    No definite shape or volume; particles are far apart and move randomly.

    Study Notes

    States of Matter

    • Solids have a definite volume and shape, their particles are tightly packed in a regular three-dimensional array.
    • Liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container, their particles are close together and can move around.
    • Gases have no definite volume or shape, they fill the entire container they are in, their particles are far apart and move randomly.

    Physical/Chemical Properties and Changes

    • Physical properties can be observed or measured without changing the composition of the substance (e.g., boiling point, melting point, color, odor).
    • Physical changes alter the substance's appearance but not its chemical composition (e.g., melting ice, boiling water).
    • Chemical properties describe how a substance can be converted into another substance (e.g., flammability, reactivity with acids).
    • Chemical changes/reactions convert one substance into another, usually not reversible (e.g., burning paper, metabolizing food).

    Pure Substances and Mixtures

    • Pure substances consist of only one component, with a constant composition regardless of sample size or origin (e.g., water, table sugar).
    • Mixtures contain more than one substance, with a composition that can vary (e.g., a mixture of sand and water).

    Elements and Compounds

    • Elements are pure substances that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means.
    • Compounds are pure substances formed by chemically combining two or more elements.

    Matter

    • Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space.

    Chemistry

    • Chemistry is the study of matter, its composition, properties, and transformations.

    Significant Figures

    • All nonzero digits are significant.
    • Zeros between nonzero digits are significant.
    • Zeros at the end of a number with a decimal point are significant.
    • Zeros at the beginning of a number are not significant.
    • The significant figures in a calculation depend on the number with the fewest significant figures in the calculation.

    Scientific Notation

    • A way to express very large or very small numbers using powers of 10.

    Sig Figs Rules (Multiplication & Division)

    • The answer should have the same number of significant figures as the measurement with the fewest significant figures.

    Sig Figs Rules (Addition & Subtraction)

    • The answer should have the same number of decimal places as the measurement with the fewest decimal places.

    Density

    • Density is a physical property that relates the mass of a substance to its volume.
    • Density = mass/volume

    Specific Gravity

    • Ratio between density of the substance and density of water.

    Volume Displacement

    • Method to calculate the volume of an object by measuring the change in the volume of a liquid.

    Conversions

    • Method to change a value in one unit into another unit.

    Percentages

    • Part of the whole is given as the ratio of the part to whole expressed mathematically.

    Temperature Conversions

    • Converting between Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin scales.

    Atoms: Nucleus, Electrons, Protons, Neutrons

    • Nucleus: Central region of an atom, containing protons and neutrons.
    • Electrons: Orbit the nucleus, negatively charged.
    • Protons: Positively charged, found in the nucleus.
    • Neutrons: Neutral, found in the nucleus.

    Atomic Number

    • Number of protons in an atom, defining the element.

    Mass Number

    • Sum of protons and neutrons in an atom.

    Atomic Mass

    • Weighted average mass of an atom of an element.

    Isotopes

    • Atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.

    Electron Configuration

    • Arrangement of electrons in shells and orbitals.

    Metals, Nonmetals, Metalloids

    • Metals are typically shiny, good conductors of heat and electricity, malleable, ductile, and have high melting points.
    • Nonmetals are typically not shiny, poor conductors of heat and electricity, brittle, and have low melting points.
    • Metalloids exhibit properties of both metals and nonmetals.

    Groups and Periods

    • Elements in the periodic table are arranged in groups and periods, with similar properties grouped together.

    Properties of Elements (Metals, Nonmetals, Noble Gases, etc.)

    • Characteristics of different types of elements based on their location on the periodic table.

    Atomic Size

    • The size of atoms affects how reactive or inert an element is.

    Atomic Radius

    • Measure of the size of an atom.

    Ionization Energy

    • Energy needed to remove an electron from an atom.
