3 reasons for big bang

the measured abundances of elements, the observed expansion of space, and the discovery of the cosmic microwave background

New cards
2

Red shifted

moving away

New cards
3

Blueshifted

moving towards

New cards
4

atomic emission spectra

the set of frequencies of the electromagnetic waves emitted by atoms of the element

New cards
5

protons

positively charged particles in the nucleus of an atom

New cards
6

Proton mass

1 amu

New cards
7

Neutron mass

1 amu

New cards
8

Neutron

no charge, in nucleus

New cards
9

Electron mass

0 amu

New cards
10

Electron

negatively charged particle outside the nucleus

New cards
11

nuclear decay

a process that occurs when an unstable atomic nucleus changes into another more stable nucleus by emitting radiation

New cards
12

Half life

length of time required for half of the radioactive atoms in a sample to decay

New cards
13

How to find half life on decay graph

Take half of the initial mass go across until the line meets the curve. Then go down to find the time that corresponds to the half life.

New cards
14

isotopes

Atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons

New cards
15

average atomic mass

the weighted average of the atomic masses of the naturally occurring isotopes of an element

New cards
16

how to calculate average atomic mass

Divide percents of naturally occurring isotopes by 100, multiply percent by mass, add all together.

New cards
17

Subscripts

number of electrons in a given sublevel

New cards
18

Number and letters in electron configuration

two of the electron's four quantum numbers., tell us more information about the properties of electrons and their orbitals.

New cards
19

three rules to follow when drawing an energy level diagram

Aufbau Principle, Pauli-exclusion Principle, and Hund's Rule

New cards
20

Aufbau Principle

An electron occupies the lowest-energy orbital that can receive it

New cards
21

Pauli-exclusion Principle

An atomic orbital may describe at most two electrons, each with opposite spin direction

New cards
22

Hund's Rule

electrons occupy orbitals of the same energy in a way that makes the number of electrons with the same spin direction as large as possible

New cards
23

Matter breaks down into

pure substances and mixtures

New cards
24

Mixture breaks down to

Homo and Heterogenious mixtures

New cards
25

homogeneous

of the same kind

New cards
26

heterogeneous

(adj.) composed of different kinds, diverse

New cards
27

Pure substances breaks into

Compound and elements

New cards
28

chemical chage

substance combines with another to form a new substance

New cards
29

physical change

a change of matter from one form to another without a change in chemical properties

New cards
30

four pieces of evidence for a chemical reaction

color change, formation of a precipitate, formation of a gas, odor change, temperature change

New cards
31

5 kinds of chemical reactions

single displacement, double displacement, combustion, synthesis, and decomposition

New cards
32

single displacement

A + BC --> AC + B

New cards
33

double displacement

AB + CD --> AD + CB

New cards
34

combustion

the process of burning something

New cards
35

synthesis

combining parts into a whole

New cards
36

decomposition

AB->A+B

New cards
37

Four Intermolecular Forces (weakest to strongest)

dispersion force.

New cards
38

Dipole-dipole force.

ttractive forces between the positive end of one polar molecule and the negative end of another polar molecule.

New cards
39

Hydrogen bond.

a weak bond between two molecules resulting from an electrostatic attraction between a proton in one molecule and an electronegative atom in the other.

New cards
40

Ion-dipole force.

an attractive force that results from the electrostatic attraction between an ion and a neutral molecule that has a dipole

New cards
41

dispersion force

attractions between molecules caused by the electron motion on one molecule affecting the electron motion on the other through electrical forces; these are the weakest interactions between molecules

New cards
42

Dipole-dipole force

attractions between oppositely charged regions of polar molecules

New cards
43

Hydrogen bond.

weak attraction between a hydrogen atom and another atom

New cards
44

Ion-dipole force.

an intermolecular force between an ion and the oppositely charged end of a polar molecule

New cards
45

Gas laws

the laws that state the mathematical relationships between the volume, temperature, pressure, and quantity of a gas

New cards
46

first law of thermodynamics

Energy can be transferred and transformed, but it cannot be created or destroyed.

New cards
47

second law of thermodynamics

Every energy transfer or transformation increases the entropy of the universe.

New cards
48

Specific heat

The amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1 degree celcius

New cards
49

How to find Neutrons

Mass-atomic number

New cards
50

How to find protons

Equal to the atomic number

New cards
51

How to find electrons

Electrons are equal to number of protons

New cards
56

Polar

uneven distribution of electron density

New cards
57

Nonpolar

one whose charge distribution is spherically symmetric when averaged over time

New cards
58

Ionic

compounds made up of ions that form charged particles when an atom (or group of atoms) gains or loses electrons

New cards
59

Covalent

chemical bond that involves the sharing of electrons to form electron pairs between atoms
