Matter
Anything that has mass and takes up space (volume).
What is matter?
Most of the mass of an atom is with these two particles.
What are the proton and neutron?
The father of the modern periodic table.
Who is Mendeleev?
What is an ionic bond?
When bonds break, form, or rearrange.
What is a chemical reaction?
When this type of property is measured, something new forms.
What is a chemical property?
Most of the volume of an atom is due to these particles.
What are electrons?
This causes atoms to get smaller as you go left to right on a row in the periodic table.
What is effective nuclear charge?
A bond where electrons are shared (equally or unequally)?
What is a covalent bond?
Chemical reactions must be balanced in order to obey this.
What is the law of conservation of matter (mass)?
Evaporation is an example of this type of change.
What is a physical change?
The orbital blocks where electrons can reside within an atom.
What are the spdf blocks?
This atom should be the largest of all regular atoms.
What is francium?
These impact the melting points and boiling points of chemicals, and thus the state of matter at STP.
What are intermolecular forces? (IMFs)
This must be examined when determining whether or not a single replacement reaction occurs.
What is the activity series?
The matter classification category for something like apple juice.
What is a homogeneous mixture?
The outermost electrons that are responsible for reactivity and properties?
What are valence electrons?
The most electronegative element.
What is fluorine?
According to this theory, certain elementary particles spread out as much as possible to minimize repulsion.
What is valence shell electron pair repulsion theory? (VSEPR)
This must be examined to determine if a double replacement reaction occurs or not.
What are solubility rules?
The five possible signs that a chemical reaction has occured.
What is color change, odor change, energy change, bubbling/gas, or precipitate formation?
Atoms desire to have increased stability through a full valence shell of electrons by following this rule.
What is the octet rule?
The electron configuration for bromine?
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p5
The formula for phosphorous acid.
What is H3PO3?
The products of a combustion reaction.
What are CO2 and H2O?
