What is a physical change ?

is a type of change where the physical properties of matter change. is a type of change where the physical properties of matter change.

What is the difference between a substance and a mixture 

Pure substances = contain only one type of particle. they cannot be separated into other substances by physical means. 

Mixtures = Contain more than one type of particle. Can be separated into pure substances by physical means

Who is considered the father of modern atomic theory?

John Dalton

What information does the atomic number of an element provide?

The atomic number of an element indicates the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of that element. It also determines the element's position on the periodic table.

Give an example of chemical change 

Anything that results in the production of a new substance and cannot be reversed. (Fire burning a log to ash)

How would you classify salt water 

Salt water is a mixture, specifically a homogeneous mixture (or solution) of salt dissolved in water.

What are the three main subatomic particles?

  • Protons (positive charge)
  • Neutrons (no charge)
  • Electrons (negative charge

List two properties that can change during a chemical reaction.

Changes in reactivity with other substances (water, acid, oxygen) and combustibility (ability to catch fire), stability (how easily it breaks down.


Ex: bubbles of gas with baking soda and vinegar

formation of a precipitate

Name a physical property that can be used to separate mixtures.

specific gravity, density, melting point, boiling point and solubility

What is a scientific theory?

An idea or principle validated by scientists. that explains and predicts events.

How many atoms are present in the molecule C₆H₁₂O₆?

  • 6 carbon atoms (C)
  • 12 hydrogen atoms (H)
  • 6 oxygen atoms (O)
    Thus, there are a total of 24 atoms in the molecule.

Whats the strongest animal on Earth (relative to body size).

Dung beetle.

Why is burning wood a chemical change ?

it leads to the formation of new substances like Carbon dioxide gas, water vapour, ash, etc.

What is the difference between an element and a compound?

  • An element is a pure substance made up of only one type of atom.
  • A compound is a substance made of two or more different types of atoms chemically bonded together.

What does the term "atomic mass" refer to?

Atomic mass refers to the weighted average mass of the atoms in an element, based on the relative abundance of its isotopes. It is typically expressed in atomic mass units (amu).

Compare the properties of metals and nonmetals.

  • Metals are typically shiny, good conductors of heat and electricity, malleable, and ductile.
  • Nonmetals are usually dull, poor conductors, and brittle when solid. They also tend to have lower melting points and are not malleable or ductile.

What's the toughest animal in the world 

Tardigrade. Extremophile.

What is the difference between an endothermic and exothermic reaction.

  • Endothermic reaction: Absorbs energy (usually heat) from the surroundings. The temperature of the surroundings decreases.
  • Exothermic reaction: Releases energy (usually heat) to the surroundings. The temperature of the surroundings increases

Describe the process of filtration and how it separates materials.

Filtration is a process that separates solid particles from a liquid or gas by using a filter (such as paper, mesh, or a porous material). The liquid or gas passes through the filter, while the solid particles are left behind.

500

Name one rule of the atomic theory.

All matter us composed of particles.

Atoms cannot be created, destroyed, or divided by a physical or chemical change.

Atoms of different elements bond in definite proportions to form compounds.

Explain what a chemical formula represents.

A chemical formula represents the types and numbers of atoms in a molecule of a compound. For example, H₂O represents a water molecule made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
