chemistry midterm

Question Answer
density measurement of how packed or crowded the object is, ratio of mass to volume
particles, shape, volume, compressibility, energy/disorder of a solid very close, definite, definite, no, liw
particles, shape, volume, compressibility, energy/disorder of a liquid close, indefinite, definite, no, medium
particles, shape, volume, compressibility, energy/disorder of a gas very far, indefinite, indefinite, yes, high
p or c, flammability chemical
p or c, color physical
p or c, reactivity chemical
p or c, volume physical
p or c, density physical
p or c, mass physical
p or c, melting point physical
altering a substance without changing its compocition physical change
one or more substances change into a new substance chemical change
6 piece of evidence that indicate a chemical change gas bubbles, solid precipitate, color change, odar, heat, light
p or c, conducting electricity physical
law of conservation of mass matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction
the smallest unit of matter that retains the identity of the substance atom
center of the atom that contains the mass of the atom nucleus
positively charged subatomic particles, mass=1 amu protons
neutrally charged subatomic particles, mass=1 amu neutrons
region that surrounds the nucleus that contains most of the space in the atom e cloud
negatively charged subatomic particles electrons
atomic number= number of protons= number of electrons
average mass of all isotopes atomic mass
mass number – atomic number number of neutrons
what causes heated elements to emit color dropping to a lower level
contributions of thompson, rutherford, and bohr to atomic history T- plum pudding, R-gold foil, discovered nucleus, B- electrons orbit in rings
fusion process of combining lighter atoms to form heavier ones
explain how and why both positive and negative ions are formed positive- cations are formed by loosing electrons to achieve 8 in valence shell; negative- anions are formed by gaining electrons to achieve 8 in valaence shell
