Matter
Anything that has mass and takes up space.
Physical Change
Does not change what it is made of, only the physical characteristics.
Chemical Change
Formation of new materials.
Atom
The basic unit of matter, consisting of subatomic particles.
Atomic Number
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.
Atomic Mass
The mass of one atom of an element, calculated by adding protons and neutrons.
Alkali Metals
The most reactive metals.
Alkaline Earth Metals
The second most reactive group of metals.
Halogens
The most reactive non-metals.
Noble Gases
The most stable and unreactive elements.
Ionic Bond
A bond formed between a metal and a non-metal.
The chemical formula tells us…
how many atoms of each element in a compound.
Ionic Bond
Metal + Non-metal
PROPERTIES of Ionic Compounds
SOLID at room temperature means it has HIGH BOILING and MELTING POINTS
Will CONDUCT ELECTRICITY when dissolved in water
Form CRYSTALS
Molecular Compound
A compound formed by the combination of two non-metals.
ANY STATE at room temperature means
LOW BOILING and MELTING POINTS.
Chemical Reaction
When two or more substances combine to form a new substance.
Reactants
The materials at the start of a chemical reaction. *Reactants will always be on the left, and products on the right.
Products
The new materials that are formed during a chemical reaction.*Reactants will always be on the left, and products on the right.
Exothermic Reaction
Releases heat energy, or heat exits into the surroundings. This makes the surroundings feel HOT. Burning anything is an example of an exothermic reaction. A candle is an example. Chemical reactions absorb or release energy in the form of heat.
Endothermic Reaction
ABSORBS heat energy, or heat enters into the reaction. This makes the surroundings feel COLD. An ice pack is an example.
Conservation of Mass
Matter is not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. (Stays the same)
Catalyst
Substances that help a reaction proceed faster.
Concentration
The amount of a substance in a specific volume.
Temperature
Increasing energy, making reactions more likely to occur.
Surface Area
The greater the surface area, the more area available for reactions to happen.
Evidence of chemical reactions
change in colour, change in Odour, formation of a solid or gas, release or absorption of heat
4 factors affecting the rate of reaction
Catalyst, Concentration, Temperature, Surface Area
Combustion
chemical reaction where oxygen reacts with a substance to form a new substance and release energy.
Corrosion
slow reaction where oxygen reacts with metal (like rusting)
cellular respiration
occurs in the body's cells.
