Document Summary

Reading: read all of this chapter plus additional nomenclature sections identified below, read section 6. 2 (ionic compounds, read section 6. 4 (compounds containing transition metals, read section 10. 2 (polyatomic ions, read section 10. 3 (oxyacids and binary acids) What is the definition of matter: matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. What are their characteristics (volume, shape, distance between particles, attraction between particles, compressibility, thermal expansion): liquid, solid, gas. Can you name the changes in physical state? (for example, what is the change from a solid to a gas called?: sublimation (solid to gas), melting (solid to liquid), freezing (liquid to solid), Vaporization (liquid to gas), condensation (gas to liquid), deposition (gas to. You should be able to describe physical/chemical changes on both the macroscopic level and the microscopic level. There are two general types of matter: pure substances and mixtures.
