Main topic

steps of the scientific method

1. purpose- the question that we are asking or the reason for the experiment.

2. Hypothesis- an educated guess of what we think might happen.

3. Materials- the equipments that we need to do the experiment

4. procedure- carry out the experiment

5. Result- analyze the observations

6. Conclusion- make a conclusion of what the experiment is about.

we use the scientific method to help us to understand how to do a science experiment.

Naming compounds

compounds with metals

LiCL- Lithium chloride

first element keeps its name, second element ends in ''ide''

compounds without metals

SO2 sulfure dioxide

use a prefix to figure out how many atoms there are

periodic table

periodic table

the periodic table has 118 elements, which has metals, non- metals, and metalloids. and is organized in groups 1-18.

properties of matter

chemical

A property that can be observed only during a chemical change.

reaction with air, flamability.

reaction with acid, reaction with base, reaction with water,

physical

A property that can be observed without changing the identity of the substance.

Ex. odor, density, structure, hardness, solubility

changes of matter

physical

Disappearing puddle, Dry ice, sawing wood

A physical changes is when somethng changes the form of a substance, but it does not change into another substance. like for example, making orange juice, the state of the juice is changed, but not the properties of it.

chemical

A chemical change is when a substance undergoes a chemical change, and it is change into a different substance with different properties.

colour change, gas production, temperature change.

Protons, Nuetrons, electrons

Protons, Nuetrons, electrons

the protons, nuetrons, and the electrons are in the nuecleus.

Bohr diagram

Bohr diagram

protons are positively charge, electrons are negatively charge and nuetrons are nuetral

protons and nuetrons are found in the nuecleus and electrons are found ouside of the nuecleus

Whimis

Whimis

there are 10 WHIMIS safety symbols

Pure substances vs. mixtures

Pure substances - made up of only one type of particle

Elements - made up of only one type of atom Ex. Hydrogen

Compounds- made up of two or more different atoms bonded together Ex. Salt

Mixtures- made up of two or more different types of particles

Heterogeneous mixtures- more than one part of the mixture is visible Ex. Pizza

Homogeneous mixtures- only one part of the mixture is visible Ex. Millk
