Chem Chapter 2 Vocab (List B)

AB
NameDefinition
1st Law of ThermodynamicsConservation, energy cannot be created nor destroyed
2nd Law of ThermodynamicsEntropy, systems/processes tend toward disorder or chaos
3rd Law of ThermodynamicsEfficiency, cooler systems tend toward less disorder
Actinides1st f-block level (4f), moved below the periodic table
Alkali MetalsMost reactive metals
Alkaline Earth MetalsImportant metals for life and 2nd most reactive metals
Atomic RadiusSize of an Atom (Francium is the biggest)
Atomic TheoryAll matter is made of small particles
Chemical PropertyProperty based on the atoms that can only be tested through changing it
Compound Laws (DC and MP)Atoms combine in small whole number ratios verifiable by mass
Electron ConfigurationSystem of letters and numbers detailing where electrons are in an atom
ElectronegativityAtom's desire for more electrons
Excited StateElectrons that gained enough energy to hop an energy level
Gas Laws1st Laws of Chemistry, link Vol, Temp, Moles, and Pressure with numbers
Grounded StateElectrons at the lowest stable energy level
Groups/FamiliesColumns arranged by similar properties
HalogensMost reactive non-metals
Hydrogen GroupGroup of one poser element that acts like a metal, but isn't
Transition MetalsMetals with flexible electron layers (multiple possible charges)
Ionization EnergyEnergy needed to peel an electron from an atom
Kinetic Molecular TheoryAll particles are in constant random motion
Lanthanides2nd f-block level (5f), moved below the periodic table
Law (Scientific)Description of how things occur (often with math) based on many tests
Law of Conservation (Matter)Matter cannot be created nor destroyed, just moved and changed
Laws of ThermodynamicsThe rules of how energy behaves
Melting PointTemperature at which a solid becomes a liquid
Noble GasesNon-reactive gases with no electronegativity [last group]
Percent CompositionAmount of a part compared to the whole (normally by mass)
Periodic LawIf elements are arranged by atomic number, trends will emerge
Periodic TableOrganization of elements by properties and atomic number
Periodic TrendsRepeating patterns of properties by proper organization
PeriodsRows arranged by atomic number
Physical PropertyProperty based that can be tested without changing the substance
Poor MetalsMetals beneath the metalloids (Al, Ga, In, Tl, Sn, Pb, Bi, Po)
ReactivityHow fast (and strongly) elements tend to form chemical bonds
Theory (Scientific)Verified explanation of something, based on many facts repeatedly confirmed
Chemical BondsEnergy holding two atoms together in a compound
