answer
Combinations of one or more substances
question

answer
The same throughout
question
Heterogenous
answer
Not the same throughout
question
Solution
answer
Are Homogenous mixtures
question
Metals
(elements)
answer
Copper, Silver, gold
malleable, best with electricity conduction
question
Nonmetals
(elements)
answer
Exist in all three forms; solid, gas, liquid.
Not malleable, heat poorly, no electricity
question
Science
answer
The process of knowing the natural universe
question
Scientific Method
answer
How we gain knowledge, systemic
question
Hypothesis
answer
Body of knowledge built off previous knowledge applied to experiment. Educated guess
question
Experiments
answer
Ways of testing hypothesis, controlled environments
question
Theory
answer
General information
question
Law
answer
Specific statements, never to be violated
question
Chemistry
answer
Birth out of Alchemy
question
Qualitative
answer
Descriptive, no mathematical component ex.. A&P)
question
Quantitive
answer
Implies a measurement or an amount of something. (ex.. Chemistry)
question
SI System
answer
Fundamental Units
Derived Units
question
Rules for determining Sig Figs
answer
1) Any nonzero is significant
2) Any zero between nonzeros is a sig fig
3) Zeros at the end of a number with a decimal are significant
question
Sig Figs- Addition and Subtraction
answer
1) Align the decimal points
2) Add or subtract
3) Round the final answer to the rightmost column in which all numbers have significant figures
question
Sig Figs- Multiplication and Division
answer
Multiply or divide the number
2) Determine the number of sig figs in each of the original numbers
3) Round the final answer to the same number of sig figs as the original number with the fewest significant figures
question
Temperature- 3 Scales
answer
1) Celcius
2) Fahrenheit
3) Kelvin
question
Density
answer
Intensive physical property
Measures how tightly packed matter is
Is a ratio of Mass & Volume
question
Atoms, Molecules, and Ions
answer
All these combined give matter
question
Atom
answer
Smallest unit of an element (extremely small)
question
Molecule
answer
Smallest substance of an element (ex..H2O)
question
Atomic Theory
answer
Building Blocks of matter
(- First Concept: Democritus & Leucippus)
( - Modern: John Dalton)
( * All matter composed of atoms)
(* Atoms of the same elements are the same, atoms of) (different elements are different)
(* Atoms combine in whole number ratios to form compunds)
question
Metalloids
answer
Some properties of both metals & non metals
question
Ion
answer
Atoms or group of atoms that has acquired either a (+) or (-) charge
Given off & a new element is formed by emission of either Alpha, Beta, Positron, etc..
(writing nuclear reaction of these reactions:)
(-radioactive nucleus (parent isotope) > new nucleus + radiation) (daughter isotope)
question
Alpha Emitters
answer
Decay emitting alpha particles
U-238 decays to Th-234 by emitting alpha particles
question
Beta Emitters
answer
Radioactive decay by emitting beta particles
Formation of Beta particle
- Neutron is converted to a proton
- Electron emitted from the nucleus
Mass number- unchanged
Atomic number increases by one
question
Positron Emission
answer
Same mass as an electron, emitted by nucleus
Mass number stays the same
Atomic number decreases by one
(PET Scans)
question
Gamma Emitters
answer
Pure Energy
Given off in conjunction with Alpha or Beta emitter
Forms a more stable nucleus of the same element
question
Rules for balancing nuclear reactions
answer
Mass- must be equal on both sides of arrow
Atomic number- must be equal on both sides of arrow
question
Half life of radioisotopes
answer
Time it takes for 1/2 of a radioactive sample to decay
Half life gives an indication of stability
question
Becquerel (Bq)
answer
Equal to 1 decay per second
question
Curie (Ci)
answer
Equal to 3.7 x 10^10 decays per second
question
Rad
answer
Equal to 0.01 J/g of tissue
question
Rem
answer
Unit of radioactive exposure that includes a factor to account for the type of radioactivity (rem=rad*factor)
question
Detecting Radiation
answer
Geiger counter
question
Exposure (REM)
answer
1 - no detectable effect
20 - increased risk of some cancers
100 - damage to bone marrow
200- 300 - visible burns
>300 - loss of white blood cells
600 - death
question
Nuclear Energy
answer
Not a good source of energy
Einstein - mass and energy are alternate aspect of the same entity
E=mc^2 (energy=mass(speed)^2)
question
Nuclear Fission
answer
Much more energy produced then by radioactive decay
The missing mass is converted to energy
(Reaction can be sustained; a chain reaction can occur when 3 N are produced thus building energy, converted to kg)
question
Nuclear Fusion
answer
Energy source- Hydrogen; less radioactive waste
Takes place continually in the sun
Produces more energy than fission
(impossible temp to maintain, 100 million c.)
