chemical definitions

learn definitions needed to begin the study of chemistry

AB
atomcontains protons and electrons
molecule2 or more atoms joined together
compoundtwo or more different atoms or ions joined
atomic elementoccurs in individual atoms
molecular elementa molecule that has all the same kind of atoms
what are the molecular elements?h2,02,N2,F2,Cl2,Br2,I2,P4,S8
metalsOn left side of periodic table
properties of metalsshiny, conduct heat/electricity,malleable,ductile
nonmetalsfar right side of periodic chart
properties of non metalsbrittle as solids,mostly nonconductors
ionsatoms that have either lost or gained electrons
neutral atomshave as many + and - charges
ionic compoundcontains + and - ions of equal charge
groupsvertical rows in the periodic table
periodshorizontal rows on the periodic table
metalloidselements near the dividing line of metals/nonmetals
hydrogena nonmetal but not a halogen
alkali metalsgroup 1
alkaline earth metalsgroup 2
halogensgroup 17
noble (inert) gasesgroup 18
homogeneous mixturesolution
colloidheterogeneous mixture
nitrate ion-N03 -1
sulfate ion-SO4 -2
hydroxide ion-OH-1
carbonate ion-CO3 -2
chlorate ion-ClO3 -1
phosphate ion-PO4 -3
nitrate moleculeno such thing
sodium chloride moleculeno such thing
polyatomic ion (radical)8 ions on the board
potential energy increasesattracting bodies get further apart
potential energy decreasesattracting bodies get closer together
kinetic energyenergy of motion
conservation of energyenergy is neither created nor destroyed...it just changes forms
forms of energykinetic,potential,electromagnetic
types of kinetic energymacroscopic (1/2 m v2) and heat
any reaction that gives off heatpotential energy goes DOWN
when wax freezes (on your finger?)potential energy goes DOWN
when wax meltspotential energy goes UP
when a pure substance is changing phasetemperature remains constant
energy is removed from a substanceeither PE or KE of the substance goes down
energy removed but phase doesn't changetemperature must go down
energy is added but phase doesn't changetemperature must go up.
energy is removed but temperature doesn't changephase must be changing
charges on ions of metals in group 1+1
charges on ions of metals in group 2+2
charges on ions of nonmetals in group 17-1
total net charge on sodium chloridezero
a molecule of silver chlorideno such thing
ionic carbon dioxideno such thing
symbol for silver atomAg
symbol for lead atomPb
symbol for sodium atomNa
symbol for iron atomFe
symbol for sodium ionNa+1
symbol for chlorine atomCl
symbol for chlorine ionCl-
symbol for magnesium ionMg+2
