  • Chemical properties refer to how elements react with other substances.
  • The boiling point is the temperature at which a liquid turns into gas.
  • Physical properties can be observed and measured without changing the identity or composition of a substance.
  • Melting point is the temperature at which a solid turns into a liquid.
  • Density refers to the mass per unit volume of an object or substance.
  • JJ Thomas created the blueberry muffin or raisin bun model
  • John Dalton stated that atoms can not be created, destroyed or broken into smaller pieces.
  • Dalton also said all atoms of the same element are identicle in mass in size
  • Compounds are created when atoms of different elements link together
  • Rutherford found the nucleus in an atom
  • Bohr found that electrons move around the nucleus in specific energy levels or shells
  • Atoms have a positively charged nucleus and a negatively charged electron orbiting it.
  • The number of protons determines what type of atom it is (atomic number)
  • Chemistry is the study of matter
  • Matter is anything with mass or volume
  • Mass is measured by grams or kilograms
  • All matter is either a pure substance or a mixture
  • Volume is the amount of space an object takes up
  • Volume is measured in L or mL
  • Pure substances only contain one type of particle
  • The particles in a pure substance are chemically bonded
  • Elements are pure substances that cannot be anything more simple
  • Mixtures are made up of combinations of pure substances
  • It is easy to break up a mixture into its pure substances
  • Heterogeneous mixtures are when the substances are easily visible
  • Homogeneous mixtures are when it looks the same and its evenly distributed
  • Physical Properties: Conductivity, melting point, boiling point, solubility, state (liquid, solid, gas), density
  • You can observe, measure and calculate (quantitative properties) these physical properties.
  • Physical properties are change in appearance but no new substances are formed
  • Chemical properties change into a new substance and describes the behavior
  • Greek philosophers thought that the smallest pieces of matter were made up of atomos.
  • Aristotle believed matter was made out of earth, air, fire and water
  • Alchemist experimented with matter, their activities marked the beginning of our understanding of matter.
  • While determining chemical properties consider if the substances will react to each other.
  • While determining chemical properties consider the rate of the reactions (fast, slow)
  • While determining chemical properties consider if any heat is produced or removed from the reaction.
  • While determining chemical properties consider what proportions are needing to produce a product.
  • Quantitative physical properties describes the heaviness or matter
  • Quantitative physical properties are calculated by mass and volume
  • Qualitative properties of physical properties are colour, malleability (object bending), and hardness
