Elements‚ Mixtures and Compounds An element is a pure substance made of one type of particle (atom). Particles can join up with other particles of the same type to form molecules. Examples: Hydrogen = H2 . This means there are two atoms of hydrogen joined together to form a molecule of hydrogen gas. Oxygen = O2‚ Nitrogen is H2‚ Chlorine is Cl2. A compound is a pure substance of two or more elements chemically combined together in a set ratio. Example: Water = H20 this means there are always

1. What is Chemistry? The study of the composition‚ structure‚ and properties of matter. The processes that matter undergoes and the energy changes that accompany these processes. 2. What is the formula for density? If I give you the density of a substance and the volume‚ you should be able to tell me the mass… Density = Mass/Volume 3. Compare and contrast intensive and extensive properties. Give an example of each. Extensive properties depend on the amount of matter that is present. Such

Periodically Puzzling Here are some questions about the elements‚ their properties‚ and periodicity. In each case‚ the correct answer is the name of an element (one of the two given). Write the answer in the appropriate space at the right‚ placing the first letter in the first blank. There are more than enough blanks to fit either element name‚ so the number of letters in the name cannot be used as a clue. When the puzzle is complete‚ the Periodic Law will be displayed in the highlighted column

The Atomic Mass of Metallo You may have noticed on the periodic table that the atomic mass of an element is usually not a whole number. That happens because of isotopes. An atom that is missing a neutron or has an extra neutron is called an isotope. They are still the same element; however‚ they are just a little different from every other atom of the same element. Most of the carbon atoms in the universe are Carbon-12‚ with 6 neutrons. A small percentage of carbon atoms are Carbon-13‚ with 7 neutrons

the works of Henry Moseley. Moseley was a student at the University of Manchester right before World War I broke out. Moseley had the ingenious idea to start studying elements by hitting them with an electron beam. At only 25 years old Moseley had figured out the problems chemists had been having for centuries‚ how to order the elements on the periodic table.

Andy Chen and Alexander Van Buren 9/15/11 AP Chemistry Dr. Isotone Lab 1: Determination of the Empirical Formula of Silver Oxide Lab Objective: In this experiment‚ the percent composition and empirical formula of silver oxide will be determined. Silver oxide will be heated until it decomposes to silver metal and oxygen‚ and the percent calculation and empirical formula can be calculated based on combining the ratios of silver and oxygen in the reaction. Summary of

Radioactive Isotopes Radioactive isotopes are any of several species of the same chemical element with different masses whose nuclei are unstable and dissipate excess energy by spontaneously emitting radiation in the form of alpha‚ beta‚ and gamma rays. Every chemical element has one or more radioactive isotopes. More than 1‚000 radioactive isotopes of the various elements are known.. Approximately 50 of the isotopes are found in nature; the rest are produced artificially as the direct products

Under that it is then classified as an element or a compound. How do you know if it’s an element? Well look at the periodic table of elements if its on there then it’s an element. How do you know if its a compound? Well a compound is made up of two or more elements. So look at the name for example NH3 then it is a compound because it has a nitrogen molecule and 3 hydrogen molecules. Science changes everyday and without our current knowledge of the elements and classifing matter then who knows

Discuss the impact of Alchemy on the modern science of Chemistry. At the first time human being have found gold - a rare and the most valuable element in the world‚ people are attracted by its shiny and glowing appearance. They are trying to find different ways turning those ordinary base metals into worthy gold. This kind of transformation process started at the Middle Ages‚ named as Alchemy‚ was the initiation of the modern science of Chemistry. Alchemy is a difficult and complicated subject

Procedure Access the virtual lab and complete the experiments. Part One (Flame Test): 1. Create and complete a data table for Part One of the lab. It should include the name of the element (or unknown) examined and the color of the observed flame: Barium-green Calcium-red Sodium-yellow Rubidium-purple Potassium-blue Lithium-pink 2. Identify each unknown from Part One of the lab and briefly explain why you identified each unknown as you did.: Unknown 1-yellow. I think it is Sodium because
