    • Chemical Property is when you change the composition or change what it’s made out of
    • Physical Property is when you don’t have to change the composition
  • Physical Property is when?
    You don't have to change the composition
  • Independent variable: always changing
  • Dependent variable: what's affected
  • Controlled: should stay the same
  • Particle: a small piece of something
  • Atom: protons, neutrons, electrons are the smallest piece of matter that keep elemental property
  • Element: every element has a unique set of properties
  • Molecule: 2 (or more) atoms that are bonded together
  • Chemistry: the study of chemicals
  • Atomos: Indivisible, you can’t break it down any further 
  • Electricity: motion of matter that has electric charge
    • A theory can never become a law and vice versa, tells you why a reaction happens
    • A law always works but doesn’t explain why
    • A theory is why, a law is what
    • All compounds are molecules but not all molecules are compounds
    • If a substance is changed in a way that the structure of its molecules is intact, it is a physical change
    • If the molecules of a substance are altered and made into completely different ones, it is a chemical change.
    • Law of conservation of mass: the matter stays the same but the form/composition can change
    • Signs of chemical reactions: heat radiation, absorption, light, different scents, bubbling, fizzing, different colors
    • Democritus was the first to figure out what atoms are/how they make everything up 
    • John Dalton was the first to find solid evidence of atoms, he also figured out there's always a particular ratio when you break things up, it's always even
    • Aristotle rejected Democritus’ theory on atoms, he believed everything is made up of fire, water, air and earth
    • JJ Thompson created the plum pudding model
    • Rutherford took positive alpha particles, shot it at gold and it would sometimes deflect
    • Like charges deflect
    • Ions are charged atoms
    • Cations are positive
    • Anions are negative
    • Valence electrons are the electrons on the outermost orbit of the Bohr Diagram
    • The first orbit can hold 2 electrons, the second can hold 8, the third can hold 8
    • If it has a charge put [] the diagram and the charge  (ex: [bohr diagram+1]) 
    • Atomic mass - protons = neutrons
    • Protons = electrons
    • Valence electron = column 
    • # of orbits = row
    • If there are more electrons it has a negative charge
    • If it loses an electron it has a +1 charge because it has that many more protons than electrons
    • If it gains an electron it has a -1 charge because it has more electrons than protons
    • Column 1 is all alkali metals, they are very reactive and only have 1 valence electron
    • Column 2 is all alkaline earth metals
    • Column 17 is halogens
    • Column 18 is noble gasses 
    • Inner transition metals are columns 3-12
    • Bottom block is outer transition metals
    • Everything under the stairs is other metals
    • All inner transition metals have 2 valence electrons
    • SATP = STANDARD ATMOSPHERIC TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE
