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 |
