Significant figures in mathematical operations
- multiplication and division problem: number of sig figs in result is the same as the number w the least amount of sig figs -for addition and subtraction problems: the limiting term is the number with the least amount of decimal places (the result will have that many places after the decimal as the least number w least amt)
the elements
-118 known (88 naturally) -only 9 elements in earths crust (diff from living matter)
Rules for Counting Significant Figures
-Nonzero integers always count as sig figs. -Leading zeros never count as sig figs. -Captive zeros always count as sig figs. -Trailing zeros only count as sig figs if the number is written with a decimal point. "100" has 1 sig fig. "100." has 3 sig figs. -Exact numbers (numbers that were determined by counting and not through measuring devices) can be assumed to have an unlimited number of sig figs. Therefore, exact numbers never limit the number of sig figs when it is used in a calculation.
how is the term Element used
-could be a single atom -Couldmeanmoleculesofanelement(H2) -Ciuld mean atoms of allowed are found in some form
Dalton's Atomic Theory
1) elements are composed of atoms. 2) atoms of same element are identical, but differ from other elements. 3) elements can mix together to form compounds 4) atoms only change when mixed with other elements

Law of Constant Composition
A given compound always contains elements in exactly the same proportion by mass
pure substance
A sample of matter, either a single element or a single compound, that has definite chemical and physical properties
quantitative observation
An observation that deals with a number or amount Unit tells scale
Isotopes
Atom w same number of protons but diff number of neutrons is tickle him popertoe bc of eectrpns
Draw x a and z
Atomin number mass and element
why is high density lipoprotein good?
Bc it has a lower volume thus takes up less space in body
Why Do ifferent atom bc diff chem properties
Bc of electrons
Metalloids
Boron, Silicon, Germanium, Arsenic, Antimony, Tellurium, PoloniumSilicon (Si) Germanium (Ge) Arsenic (As) Antimony (Sb) Tellurium (Te)
Compound
Distinct substance that is composedof atoms of two or more elements and always contains exactly the same relative masses of those elements (2 atoms of h for every 1 o in water)
Physical properties of metals
Heat and eectrocit malleabilty ductility wire lustrous
Temperature conversion equations
K = C+273 C = K-273 F = 1.80(C)+32 C = (F-32)/1.80

List
A given pair of elements might combine to form
More than one compound
Rutherford and chadwik
Most nuclei contain neutron beautiful is lightly more massiv than proton by no charge
18 most abundant elements
Oxygen, silicon, aluminum, iron, calcium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, hydrogen, titanium, chlorine, phosphorus, manganese, carbon, sulfur, barium, nitrogen, fluorine
Ernest Rutherford
Plum pudding is wrong arom has a sense center of positive charge o repel the charges articles of alpha Electrons travel around nuclear proton ha same magnitude of charge as lctron but is positive ss
William Thomson s
Plum pudding model plum itself is positive but has little negative beerries
JJ Thomson
Showed that atoms can be made to emit tiny negative particles concluded that atoms must also have positive charges to balance out negative
Measuring the volume of a solid object by water displacement
You find the volume of the object by subtracting the difference in water as it rose (amt of water before -amt of water after) = volume of object
diatomic molecule
a molecule that consists of two atoms of the same element so reactive they bind to themselves i bring clay for our new home
qualitative observation
deals with descriptions that cannot be expressed in numbers
Allotropes
different molecular structures of the same element Solid carbon diamond graphite buckminsterfullerene
ionic compound
metal and nonmetal combine High melting point Conduct electricity if melted and in water transfer of electrons neitral-sum =0
Physical properties of non metals
more variation in properry lack prop of metald can be gases l or a at room temp
Ions
positively and negatively charged atoms atoms can form ion by gaining or losing electrons metals tend to lose electrons to form positive cations ( magnesium cation) nonmetals tend to gain electrons to form negative anions ( sodium chloride)
Mass
the amount of matter in an object
