CHE1CHF- TEST 1 CHEAT

SHEET
Terms in alphabetical order-
Accuracy- how close a measurement is to the accepted value
Anion- icons with a negative charge because it has more electrons then protons
Atom- the building blocks of matter
Atomic mass- weight of the atom
Atomic number- number of protons
Atomic weight- the average relative atomic mass of a representative sample of atoms of an element,
weighed by the relative abundance of its isotopes
Binary compounds- substances that consist of just two different elements
Cation- ions with a positive charge because it has more protons than electrons
Chemical change- a process in which one or more species form as a result of redistribution of atoms, ions
or electrons
Chemical compound- a substance composed of atoms of two or more different elements
Chemical equations- use of chemical symbols to describe what happens during reaction
Chemical formula- a representation of the composition of a compound
Chemical reactions- a process in which one or more species form as a result of redistribution of atoms, ions
or electrons
Chemical substances-
Compound- two or more kinds of atoms that are chemically bonded
Covalent bonds- the force of attraction between adjacent atoms in molecules and in covalent network
substances
Covalent network substances- hard, high melting substance modelled as a three-dimensional network of
atoms, each atom covalently bound to a number of others
Element- a substance that is made up of a single type of atom (only one type of atom that are all the same-
same size, function, weight)
Empirical formula- a formula that gives the lowest whole number ratio of atoms of each element in a
molecule
Ionic bonds-
Ionic compounds-
Ionic substances- a substance made up of electrically charged particles called ions, they are a different
species to atoms. They have high melting points, conduct electricity (not as well as metals), are strong but
also brittle
Ions- changed particles in which the number of protons is different from the number of electrons so it has a
net positive or negative charge
Isotopes- have the same number of neutrons and protons and only differ in the number of electrons
Kinetic energy- energy due to motion of the particles (atoms, ions, molecules) of a system)
Kinetic-molecular model of matter- A model that assumes that all matter is composed of particles with
energy, and which can be used to explain and predict physical properties
Matter- anything that takes up space and has mass
Metallic bonding- the force which keeps atoms together is the electrical attraction between the positive ions
and the delocalised electrons
Metallic substances- these are metal substances. They are dense, conduct electricity, conduct heat have
have a high melting point
Mixtures- contain two or more substances physically mixed together but not chemically bound together eg.
Air, steel, soft-drink
Molecular formula- a formula that specifies the actual number of atoms of each element in one molecule of
a compound
Molecular substances- a specific arrangement of atoms of various elements held together by covalent
bonds to form a molecule. They have low melting and boiling points, do not conduct electricity and are soft
solids
Molecule-
Monatomic atom-
Monatomic ion- contains only one atom eg. Na+, Ca2+
Physical change- a change of state (solid, liquid, gas) is a physical change. The matter changes its property
but not it’s chemical nature
Polyatomic atom-
Polyatomic ion- contains more than one atom eg. OH-, CN-
Precision- how close a series of measurements are to one another or how far out a measurement is taken
Products-
Property- the characteristic behaviour of a substance in reactions with other substances/ what matter is like.
Eg. Water can dissolve many substances, caffeine is a stimulant
Pure substances- two different compounds, each had a definite composition
Reactants-
Significant figures- used to indicate the precision of a measured number or to express the precision of a
calculation with measured numbers
Solutions- one substance is dissolved in another substance. Eg. Salt in water, coffee/tea, IV drip
Substance- a single, pure form or matter, can be made up of one or several types of atoms. Eg. Water,
copper, sugar
