Term
chemical change
Definition
any process determined by the atomic and molecular composition and structure of the substances involved
Term
physical change
Definition
a change from one state (solid or liquid or gas) to another without a change in chemical composition
Term
endothermic
Definition
(of a chemical reaction or compound) occurring or formed with absorption of heat
Term
exothermic
Definition
(of a chemical reaction or compound) occurring or formed with the liberation of heat
Term
substance
Definition
the real physical matter of which a person or thing consists
Term
mixture
Definition
a collection containing a variety of sorts of things
Term
compound
Definition
a whole formed by a union of two or more elements or parts
Term
element
Definition
a substance that cannot be separated into simpler substances
Term
homogeneous
Definition
all of the same or similar kind or nature
Term
heterogeneous
Definition
consisting of elements not of the same kind or nature
Term
Thomson
Definition
English physicist who experimented with the conduction of electricity through gases and who discovered the electron and determined its charge and mass
Term
Dalton
Definition
(chemistry) law stating that when two elements can combine to form more than one compound the amounts of one of them that combines with a fixed amount of the other will exhibit a simple multiple relation
ATOMIC THEORY
Term
Rutherford
Definition
British physicist (born in New Zealand) who discovered the atomic nucleus and proposed a nuclear model of the atom
Term
Atomic #
Definition
the order of an element in Mendeleyev's table of the elements; equal to the number of protons in the nucleus or electrons in the neutral state of an atom of an element
Term
Mass #
Definition
the sum of the number of neutrons and protons in an atomic nucleus
Term
Atomic Mass
Definition
the mass of an atom of a chemical element expressed in atomic mass units
Term
Protons
Definition
equivalent to atomic number
a stable particle with positive charge equal to the negative charge of an electron
Term
Neutrons
Definition
mass - protons(isotopes)
an elementary particle with zero charge
Term
Electrons
Definition
Electrons are the smallest of the particles that make up an atom, and they carry a negative charge.
Term
Isotopes
Definition
atom with same atomic number, different number of neutrons
Term
ions
Definition
cation and anions an atom with a charge
Term
energy
Definition
forceful exertion
Term
frequency
Definition
the number of occurrences within a given time period
Term
orbital
Definition
of or relating to an orbit
Term
para magnetic
Definition
of or relating to a paramagnet[7]
Term
diamagnetic
Definition
relating to or exhibiting diamagnetism; slightly repelled by a magnet [7L]
Term
Bohr Model
Definition
a theory of atomic structure that combined Rutherford's model with the quantum theory; electrons orbiting a nucleus can only be in certain stationary energy states and light is emitted when electrons jump from one energy state to another
Term
isoelectronic
Definition
S-2(18 electrons) = Ar(18 electrons)
S+2(14 electrons)= Si(14 electrons)
Term
Aufbau Principle
Definition
Term
Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
Definition
(quantum theory) the theory that it is impossible to measure both energy and time (or position and momentum) completely accurately at the same time
Term
Hund's Rule
Definition
Term
Pauli exclusion Principle
Definition
no two electrons or protons or neutrons in a given system can be in states characterized by the same set of quantum numbers
Term
Ground State
Definition
(physics) the lowest energy state of an atom or other particle
Term
Excited State
Definition
in an aroused state moving to the next energy level before the previous one is completed
Term
Sub levels (S)
Definition
Term
Sub-levels(P)
Definition
Term
Sub-levels(D)
Definition
Term
Sub level(F)
Definition
Term
energy levels
Definition
a definite stable energy that a physical system can have
Term
electron configuration
Definition
Term
properties of metals and nonmetals
Definition
Term
properties of ionic and covalent
Definition
Term
bond formation energy
Definition
FORM = RELEASE ENERGY
BREAK = ABSORB ENERGY
Term

1.7+ = Ionic/Non-Covalent
Term
polarity of molecule
Definition
crazy shape = polar
