Cards

Term
Element
Definition
the simplest type of matter with unique physical and chemical properties
Term
Substance
Definition
matter whose composition is fixed
Term
Molecule
Definition
an independent structure consisting of two or more atoms chemically bound together
Term
Compound
Definition
type of matter composed of two or more different elements that are chemically bound together
Term
Mixture
Definition
a group of two or more substances (elements and/or compounds) that are physically intermingled
Term
Law of mass conservation
Definition
the total mass of substances does not change during a chemical reaction
Term
Law of definite (or constant) compostion
Definition
no matter what its source, a particular compound is composed of the same elements in the same parts (fractions) by mass
Term
faction by mass (mass fraction)
Definition
part of the compound's mass that each element contributes; it is obtained by dividing the mass of each element by the total mass of compound
Term
percent by mass (mass percent)
Definition
fraction by mass expressed as a percentage
Term
law of multiple proportions
Definition
if elements A and B react to form two compounds, the different masses of B that combine with a fixed mass of A can be expressed as a ratio of small whole numbers
Term
Who created the atomic theory?
Definition
Dalton
Term
atoms
Definition
tiny indivisible particles of an element that cannot be created or destroyed
Term
Who came up with the the law of conservation of mass?
Definition
Lavoisier
Term
Cathode rays
Definition
called so because they rays originated at the negative electrode and moved to the positive electrode
Term

Who discovered the electron?

 

Definition
J.J. Thomson
Term
Who created the oil-drop experiment for measuring an electron's charge?
Definition
Robert Millikan
Term
Nucleus
Definition
contains all the positive charge and essentially all the mass of the atom
Term
Who proposed of the nucleus?
Definition
Ernest Rutherford
Term
Isotopes
Definition
atoms that have different numbers of neutrons and therefore different mass numbers
Term
Ionic compounds
Definition
transferring electrons from the atoms of one element to those of another form these
Term
Covalent Bond
Definition
from when a pair of electrons are mutually attracted by the two nuclei
Term
Who created a glass tube with metal electrodes to witness the behavior of cathode rays?
Definition
William Crookes

shows all the soluble ionic substances dissociated into ions
Term
Spectator ions
Definition
not involved in the chemical change
Term
what do bases produce in water?
Definition
OH- ions
