This page focuses on the rules and applications of significant figures in chemistry calculations.
Definition: Significant figures are all digits that are 100% correct plus one estimated digit.
Key points on significant figures:
The page also covers metric conversions and provides practice problems for converting between units and using scientific notation.
Example: Converting 1.9m + 3.2dm + 3.6cm + 30.0mm to mm: 1900mm + 320mm + 36mm + 30.0mm = 2286.0mm
Highlight: When performing calculations with multiple numbers, identify which decimal places are present in all numbers and round accordingly.
This page delves into the classification of matter, distinguishing between pure substances and mixtures.
Definition: A pure substance is composed of one element or compound, with all particles being the same.
The page covers:
Vocabulary:
- Homogeneous mixture: uniform and consistent throughout
- Heterogeneous mixture: distinctly non-uniform with visible layers
The page also introduces the concept of diatomic molecules and explains the use of chemical formulas and symbols.
Highlight: In a compound, there must be a consistent ratio of each atom (definite composition), while mixtures can have varied compositions.
This page covers various topics related to material properties and atomic structure.
Alloys are introduced as homogeneous mixtures of metals:
The page distinguishes between physical and chemical changes in matter:
Definition:
- Physical changes: easily reversed, no composition change
- Chemical changes: composition and properties change, evidence includes bubbles, precipitate formation, temperature change, or color change
The atomic structure is briefly explained, introducing the nucleus, protons, and neutrons.
Vocabulary:
- Physical property: characteristic description of matter by itself (e.g., color, weight, density)
- Chemical property: description of how matter reacts or changes when combined with something else
The page concludes with a comparison of metals and nonmetals based on their properties and positions on the periodic table.
Highlight: An atom is the smallest piece of an element that retains its properties.
