Term
Law
Definition
Fundamental scientific statements--- the observations.
Term
Theory
Definition
Idea of structure or function that explains patterns and predicts observations, and is testable by disproofs....the explanation.
Term
postulates
Definition
theoretical constructs that aid concept, visual, or calculation
Term
Elements
Definition
a pure substance made from only one kind of atom
Term
law of definite proportions 
Definition
a pure compound is composed of a fine proportion of elements. ex. pure compounds have a fixed composition whether the size of the sample or source of the compound is different.
Term
law of conservation of mass
Definition
mass is neither created nor destroyed during ordinary chemical or physical reactions
Term
Dalton's Law of Atomic Theory
Definition

reasoning that elements were composed of atoms and that only whole numbers of atoms can combine to form compounds. His theory has 3 parts.
1) all is composed of atoms

2) These atoms have identical mass, size, and other properties.

3) Atoms are rearranged in reactions

 

Term
Mixtures
Definition
divided into homogeneous and heterogeneous that are phsically separated by means of distillation, crystalization or filtering
Term
elemental Compouds
Definition
elements that are pure and cannot be broken down further
Term
pure compounds
Definition
must be chemically separated, and can be made into elements. These have different ratios of elements
Term
physical changes
Definition
a change in substance that does not change the identity---solid/liquid/gas
Term
Chemical Changes
Definition
A change in which one or more substances are converted to a different substance. 
Term
Acid
Definition
a substance with H+
Term
Base
Definition

Acids
Term
Acid Properties
Definition
bitey flavor, or corrosive.
Turn different colors. 
Term
Atomic Cations
Definition
Caions, metal ions retain their element name,, commonly used convention is to give the higher charged ion the suffix "ic" and the lower charged ion "ous"
Term
Synthesis (combination)
Definition

A + B ---> AB

Fe + 3o2 = 2FE203

Term
Decomposition
Definition
Reduction of metal and non metal oxides, usually forced via heat.

AB ---> A + B 
Term
Combustion
Definition

Decomposition of organics to produce CO2 AND H2O.

 

Term
