E N D
Some terms: • Chemistry • The study of matter, its composition and its interactions • Matter • Anything that has mass and occupies space • Property • A characteristic
Physical Change • A change in which the substance changes form, but not compostion
Chemical change • A change in which the substance changes composition and makes something new. • http://www.saskschools.ca/curr_content/science9/chemistry/lesson8c.html
An observation that does not contain a number. Example: It is warm outside. An observation that does contain a number. Example: The temperature outside is 25C. Qualitative vs Quantitative
Mixture • A combination of two or more kinds of matter, in which each component retains its own characteristics.
A mixture in which the different components are mixed so that they appear to be a single substance A mixture in which the different components can be distinctly seen. Solution vs Heterogeneous mixture
Pure substance • A material that is composed of only one type of particle. (Can be an element or a compound.)
A pure substance that cannot be broken down into smaller particles and retain the same properties. A pure substance that is composed of two or more elements chemically bonded in fixed proportions. Element vs compound
The number of protons in an atom A sum of the protons and neutrons in one atom of a particular element. Atomic number vs Mass number
Isotope • Atoms of an element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, giving them a different mass number.
Radioisotope • An unstable isotope of an element, which undergoes radioactive decay. Plutonium pellet
5 Clues that a chemical reaction has taken place: • 1. A colour change is observed. • 2. The change is difficult to reverse. • 3. Bubbles of gas are produced. • 4. Heat or light is released or absorbed. • 5. A precipitate forms when two solutions are mixed.

Copper (II) sulphate reacts with lithium nitrate to produce lithium sulphate and copper (II) nitrate. • Copper (II) sulphate + lithium nitrate lithium sulphate + copper (II) nitrate
5 types of chemical reactions. • 1. Synthesis • Two or more substances become one • A + B AB • 2. Decompostion • One substance breaks down into two or more products • AB A + B • 3. Single Displacement • One element replaces another in a compound • A + BC AC + B or AB + C CB + A
5 types of chemical reactions • 4. Double Displacement • Two compounds switch ions. • AB + CD CB + AD • 5. Combustion • A reaction with oxygen that produces carbon dioxide and water • Hydrocarbon + O2 H2O + CO2
