the comparison of the experimental measurement to its accepted value.
percent error
cannot be described in terms of anything else. ex: mass=kg, length=m, time=s
Fundamental measurement unit
fundamental measurements combined to make a derived unit. ex: speed=m/s, density=g/cm^3
Derived measurement unit
the study of matter and the changes it undergoes
chemistry
anything that has mass and occupies space
matter
the most basic form of matter (ex: silver, gold, copper)
element
composed of small indivisible particles called atoms
matter
composed of atoms and different elements combined in small whole-number ratios
chemical compounds
the rearrangement of atoms into different combinations
chemical reactions
smallest fundamental particle of an element that has the properties of that element
atom
the first particle discovered (JJ thompson 1897)
electron
electrons have a _______ charge
negative
+ in the nucleus
protons
0 in the nucleus
neutrons
- outside the nucleus
electrons
number of protons in the nucleus
atomic
protons + neutrons
mass number
atoms of the same element with differeing mass numbers
isotopes
substance composed of two or more elements that are chemically combined (water, table salt, sugar)
Compound
made up of atoms
Elements
a substance where the atoms are held together by covalent bonds, ex: H2O
molecular compounds
compounds consisting of ions (atoms who have gained either a positive or negative charge)
Ionic compounds
electrostatic forces holding the ions together
Ionic bonds
charged particle
Ion
positive charged particle
Cation
negative charged particle
anion
matter is neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions
law of the conservation of mass
solids, liquids, gas
physical states
have definite composition and definite unchanging properties
pure substances
pure substances tendency to undergo chemical change. ex: burning, color changes, tarnishing
chemical properties
a substance exists in a particular physical state under defined conditions. increase in temp will alter physical state (ex: color, odor, taste)
physical properties
property that does not depend on the amount of material (ex: density)
intensive properties
property that does depend on the amount of material present (ex: mass, volume)
extensive property
when a substance is chemically converted to another substance.
chemical change
ratio of mass to volume - an intensive property
density
change in physical property (ex: melting, freezing)
physical change
non-uniform mixture containing two or more substances (ex: salt and pepper, oil and water)
heterogeneous mixture
uniform mixture, same throughout (ex: salt water, milk)
Homogeneous mixture
substance being dissolved
solute
substance doing dissolving
solvent
the capacity to do work
energy
energy cannot be created nor destroyed, but only transformed from one form to another
law of the conservation of energy
produce energy
exothermic reactions
require energy
endothermic reactions
energy availalbe due to position or composition
potential energy
energy resulting from motion
kinetic energy
amount of heat required to raise the temp of one gram of water from 14.5C to 15.5C
calorie (cal)
the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance to one degree celsius (kelvin) - reflects how some substances heat up faster than others
specific heat
