What is a physical property of matter?
Melting point
Chemical properties describe how a substance changes during a
chemical reaction
True
What is the charge of a neutron?
Neutral (0)
What are the three main types of chemical bonds?
Ionic, covalent, metallic
What type of compounds can be gases, liquids, or solids with varying melting/boiling points?
Covalent
What is an example of a chemical property mentioned in the text?
Flammability
Neutrons are located in the
nucleus
and have a neutral charge.
What is the main process in chemical bonding?
Formation of bonds
What does the number of protons determine in an atom?
Atomic number
Covalent bonds occur when non-metal atoms
share
electrons to achieve stability.
A chemical reaction involves the rearrangement of atoms to form new substances called products from
reactants
.
True
Stoichiometry uses the
molar
mass to convert between mass and moles.
What is an example of a chemical property of matter?
Flammability
What type of bonding is formed by the sharing of electrons between non-metals?
Covalent
What is the particle arrangement in a solid state?
Regular lattice
What happens to the surroundings in an exothermic reaction?
Warmer
What formula is used to convert mass to moles?
\text{Moles} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}</latex>
What is the pH value of a neutral solution?
7
Physical
properties
can be observed without changing the substance
True
Match the property type with its description:
Physical properties ↔️ Observed without changing composition
Chemical properties ↔️ Describe how substance undergoes chemical change
The number of protons determines an element's
atomic number
True
Match the bond type with its formation:
Ionic bond ↔️ Transfer of electrons
Covalent bond ↔️ Sharing of electrons
Metallic bond ↔️ Delocalization of electrons
Metallic bonds result in high electrical and thermal
conductivity
.
Chemical properties describe how a substance changes during a
chemical reaction
True
What are the three basic components of an atom?
Protons, neutrons, electrons
Chemical bonding is the process by which atoms form bonds to create stable molecules or compounds.
True
Metallic bonds allow for high electrical and thermal conductivity due to the delocalization of
electrons
.
True
In a solid, particles are closely packed in a regular
lattice
What is the purpose of balancing chemical equations?
Ensuring atom conservation
Physical properties of
matter
can be observed without changing the chemical composition of the substance.
True
What type of bonding is formed between a metal and a non-metal?
Ionic
Covalent compounds
can be gases, liquids, or solids.
True
In a gas,
particles
move freely in all directions.
True
Activation energy is the minimum energy needed for a reaction to
start
Match the term with its definition:
Solute ↔️ Substance being dissolved
Solvent ↔️ Substance dissolving the solute
Solution ↔️ Homogeneous mixture of solute and solvent
Bases produce hydroxide ions (
OH-
) in water.
True
Matter
refers to anything that has
mass
and occupies space.
Give an example of a chemical property of matter.
Flammability
Atomic structure
refers to the basic components that make up an atom: protons, neutrons, and
electrons
.
The sum of protons and neutrons gives the
mass
number.
