Matter
This state of matter has a definite shape and a definite volume.
What is a solid?
This law states that as the pressure of a gas increases, its volume decreases, provided the temperature remains constant.
What is Boyle’s Law?
These horizontal rows on the periodic table indicate the number of electron shells an atom has.
What are periods?
This subatomic particle carries a negative charge and orbits the nucleus.
What is an electron?
In this type of reaction, two or more substances combine to form a single new compound.
What is a synthesis reaction?
This type of mixture is uniform throughout, such as salt dissolved in water.
What is a homogeneous solution?
This temperature scale must always be used when performing gas law calculations.
What is the Kelvin scale?
Elements in Group 18, such as Neon and Argon, are known by this name due to their lack of chemical reactivity.
What are Noble Gases?
Atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.
What are isotopes?
These are the substances found on the left side of a chemical equation.
What are reactants?
This process occurs when a substance changes directly from a solid to a gas without becoming a liquid.
What is sublimation?
According to this law, the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases.
What is Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures?
This term describes the energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous atom.
What is ionization energy?
This number represents the sum of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus.
What is the mass number?
This type of reaction releases energy into the surroundings, often in the form of heat.
What is an exothermic reaction?
This intensive property is defined as the ratio of an object's mass to its volume.
What is density?
This is the volume occupied by one mole of any ideal gas at Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP).
What is 22.4 liters?
This element has the highest electronegativity on the periodic table.
What is Fluorine?
This principle states that it is impossible to know both the exact velocity and the exact position of a particle at the same time.
What is the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle?
This is the term for a solid that forms and settles out of a liquid mixture during a chemical reaction.
What is a precipitate?
These are properties, like boiling point or mass, that can be observed without changing the substance's chemical identity.
What are physical properties?
Written as PV = nRT, this equation describes the behavior of a hypothetical gas that perfectly follows all kinetic molecular theory assumptions.
What is the Ideal Gas Law?
These elements, found along the "staircase," have properties of both metals and nonmetals.
What are metalloids?
This rule states that electrons will fill empty orbitals of the same energy level before pairing up.
What is Hund’s Rule?
In a redox reaction, this term describes the process where an atom or ion gains electrons.
What is reduction?
