Term
Chemical Property
Definition
Descprition of how a substance interacts with other substances, such has acids; chemical properties are observable only when a chemical change occurs
Term
Chemical Change
Definition
Change that results when two or more substances react to create a different substance or substances; the new substances have completely different properties from the original ones
Term
Pure Substance
Definition
Substance made of only one kind of matter, which has a unique set of properties
Term
Element
Definition
Pure Substance that cannot be broken down into other substances; substance made up of only one type of atom
Term
Periodic Table
Definition
A table in which the elements are organized bu their physical and chemical properties
Term
Compound
Definition
Chemical combination of two or more elements in a specific ratio
Term
Mixture
Definition
Combination of pure substances; unlike a compound, the components of a mixture do not combine chemically and are not always in the same ratio
Term
Mechanical Mixture
Definition
A mixture in which the different substances are visible e.g. Package of vegetables
Term
Solution
Definition
Homogeneous mixture; mixture of two or more substances that look like one substance
Term
Aqueous Solution
Definition
A solution in which water is the solvent
Term
Suspension
Definition
A cloudy mixture in which tiny particles of one substance are held within another
Term
Colloid
Definition
A cloudy mixture in which the particles are so small that they cannot be easily seperated
Term
Endothermic
Definition
An action in which heat energy is absorbed into a compound resulting in a drop in temperature outside of an atom and an increase in temperature inside an atom
Term
Exothermic
Definition
A chemical reaction that absorbs heat energy because the reactants contain less stored energy than the products
Term
Ionic Compound
Definition
A mixture of a metal and a non-metal where an atom transfers electrons to another atom of a different element. Characteristics include high melting/boiling point, Conduct electricity and solid at room temperature
Term
Molecular Compound
Definition
A mixture of two non-metals. Also known as Pure Substances. Characteristics include low melting point, not a good conductor, good insulators

Law of Conservation of Mass
Definition
In a chemical reaction, the total mass of the reactants, is always equal to the total mass of the products
Term
Law of Definite Composition
Definition
Compounds are pure substances that contasin two or more elements combined together in fixed proportions e.g. Water 11% Hydrogen 89% Oxygen, Hydrogen Peroxide 6% Hydrogen and 94% Oxygen
Term
WHMIS
Definition
Workplace Hazardous Material Information System
Term
Atomic Mass
Definition
The weight of the atom measured in Atomic Mass Units AMU's
Term
Catalyst
Definition
A substance that helps a chemical reaction proceed quicker. It adds to the chance that atoms will collide to form new substances
Term
Covalent bond
Definition
When two atoms share electrons
Term
Protons
Definition
A sub atomic particle that has a positive charge. Contained within the nucleus of an atom
Term
Neutrons
Definition
A subatomic particle that has a 0 charge
Term
Electrons
Definition
A subatomic particle that carries a negative charge
Term
Enzymes
Definition
Enzymes are proteins that catalyze chemical reactions in enzymatic reactions
Term
Combustion
Definition
Combustion or burning is the sequence of exothermic chemical reactions between a fuel and an oxidant accompanied by the production of heat and conversion of chemical species
Term
Halogens
Definition
A series of non-metals in group 17
Term
Alkali Metals
Definition
A group of extremly reactive metals. Reactive because they are only one electron away from being a noble gas
Term
Physical Change
Definition
any change not involving a change in the substance's chemical identity
Term
Evaporation
Definition
The process of a liquid becoming a gas due to heat
Term
Alcehmy
Definition
An art that combined both science and mythical powers.....
Term
Cation
Definition
A positively charged ion
Term
