  • Mass
    The amount of matter in an object
  • Volume
    The space occupied by the matter
  • Temperature
    The measure of the coldness or hotness of a material
  • Pressure
    The force applied by the gas particles per unit area
  • Boyle's Law
    The volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure at constant temperature
  • Charle's Law
    The volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant pressure
  • Kelvin
    Unit for absolute temperature
  • Binary Compounds
    Chemical compounds comprising two distinct elements
  • Binary Acids
    Compounds with hydrogen (H) and a nonmetal (NM)
  • Polyatomic Ion
    A covalent bonded set of two or more atoms, or of a metal complex, that can be considered to behave as a single unit and that has a net charge that is not zero
  • Chemical reaction is a process in which a substance is changed into one or more new substances. It is represented using chemical equation.
  • Reactant
    Starting material, written on the left side of an equation
  • Product
    Substance formed as a result of a chemical reaction, written on the right side of the equation
  • The Law of Conservation of Mass states that matter can be neither created nor destroyed, hence every chemical reaction must be balanced.
  • Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
  • A molecule is two or more atoms chemically bonded together.
  • Chemical reactions involve changes in the arrangement of atoms within substances.
  • An ion is an atom with either too many or too few electrons to have a neutral charge.
  • Electrolytes are compounds that dissociate into positive and negative ions when they dissolve in water.
