Pregunta Respuesta
Chemistry the study of matter, its properties, and the changes that matter undergoes.
Matter anything that has mass and occupies space
property any characteristic that allows us to recognize a particular type of matter and to distinguish it from other types
elements a substance that cannot be decomposed into similar substances
atoms The smallest representative particle of an element. Almost infinitesimally small building blocks of matter
molecules two or more atoms are joined in specific shapes
pure substance matter that has distinct properties and a composition that does not vary from sample to sample
Elements substances that cannot be decomposed into simpler substances
Compounds substances composed of two or more elements; they contain two or more kinds of atoms
Mixtures combinations of two or more substances
law of constant composition A law that states that the elemental composition of a compound is always the same French chemist Joseph Louis Proust (1754–1826) first stated the law in about 1800
law of definite proportions A law that states that the elemental composition of a compound is always the same French chemist Joseph Louis Proust (1754–1826) first stated the law in about 1800
Physical properties Properties that can be measured without changing the identity and composition of the substance.
Chemical properties describe the way a substance may change, or react, to form other substances
Intensive properties A property that does not depend on the amount of sample being examined ie. density.
Extensive properties depend on the amount of sample, with two examples being mass and volume.
physical change a substance changes its physical appearance but not its composition. (That is, it is the same substance before and after the change.)
changes of state Physical changes of matter form one state to a different one, for example, from a gas to a liquid.
distillation process that depends on the different abilities of substances to form gases
Work he energy transferred when a force exerted on an object causes a displacement of that object.
heat the energy used to cause the temperature of an object to increase
w=F×d We define work, w, as the product of the force exerted on the object, F, and the distance, d, that it moves:
​force​ any push or pull exerted on the object
kinetic energy the energy of motion
potential energy the “stored” energy that arises from the attractions and repulsions an object experiences in relation to other objects.
electrostatic potential energy which arises from the interactions between charged particles
hypothesis explain the observations
derived unit obtained by multiplication or division of one or more of the base units
Precision a measure of how closely individual measurements agree with one another
Accuracy how closely individual measurements agree with the correct, or “true,” value
