UCF Chemistry Placement Test Guide With Complete
Solutions 100% Correct


Matter - ANSWER Anything that has mass and occupies space; composed of atoms



Atoms - ANSWER The smallest unit of matter that can't be broken down and is
composed mostly of empty space; consists of three parts: the electron, proton and
neutron



Elements - ANSWER A pure substance that consists of only one type of atom



Compound - ANSWER Two or more elements combined by a chemical bond; ionic and
covalent



Mixture - ANSWER Two or more substances that are together but not bonded



Pure Substance - ANSWER Substance that contains only one kind of compound



Bose-Einstein Condensate - ANSWER The state of matter with the lowest energy;
basically a very cold solid



Solid - ANSWER A state of matter with strong bonds



Liquid - ANSWER A state of matter with weak bonds



Gas - ANSWER A state of matter with no bonds

,Plasma - ANSWER State of matter that has the most energy; it utilizes ionization instead
of bonds



Robert Boyle - ANSWER First to define what an element is; anything is a substance until
such time that it cannot be decomposed



John Dalton - ANSWER Combined earlier concepts to describe the atom: elements are
composed of atoms; all atoms of a given element are identical; atoms of one element
differ from atoms of all other elements; law of constant composition; atoms cannot be
observed



Law of Constant Composition - ANSWER The atoms of one element can combine with the
atoms of other elements to form compounds; a given compound always contains the
same relative numbers and kinds of atoms



J.J. Thomson-ANSWER Discovered electrons and protons and developed the plum
pudding model of an atom



Electrons-ANSWER The negatively charged particle in an atom; circles around the
nucleus in the electron cloud



Proton-ANSWER The positively charged particle in an atom; located in the nucleus;
determine the element



Neutron-ANSWER The neutral particle in an atom; it has no charge and is located in the
nucleus



Plum Pudding Model ANSWER An early model of the atom that envisioned a sphere of
positive charge with electrons scattered throughout



Ernest Rutherford ANSWER Conducted an experiment in which he shot alpha particles
at gold foil; showed there was a small, dense nucleus containing a positive charge and
that protons are positive

,Metals ANSWER The elements on the left-hand side of the periodic table that want to
lose electrons



Characteristics of Metals - ANSWER - Malleable

- Ductile

- Conductive

- Lustrous



Malleable - ANSWER The ability to be molded into shapes



Ductile - ANSWER The ability to be pulled into wire



Conductive - ANSWER The ability to allow heat or electricity to pass through an object



Lustrous - ANSWER The ability to be shiny



Nonmetals - ANSWER Elements located on the right side of the periodic table that want
to gain electrons



Metalloids - ANSWER Elements placed in a stair-step line between metals and
nonmetals; they have characteristics of both



Diatomic Molecules - ANSWER Elements that occur in pairs in their natural state;
hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine



Electronegativity - ANSWER The tendency of a molecule to draw electrons to it; within
the table it increases from left to right and decreases from top to bottom; fluorine is the
most dense

, Atomic Radius - ANSWER The size of an atom; within the table it decreases from left to
right and increases from top to bottom



Ionization Energy - ANSWER Energy to remove an electron; increases left to right and
decreases top to bottom



Ion - ANSWER An atom that has gained or lost electrons



Anion - ANSWER An atom that gains electrons and has a negative charge; nonmetals



Cation - ANSWER An atom that looses electrons and has a positive charge; metals



Isotope - ANSWER An atom that has changed its number of neutrons



Atomic Number - ANSWER A unique number to each element that tells the number of
protons and the number of electrons if the atom is neutral



Atomic Mass - ANSWER A number that tells the number of protons and neutrons in an
atom



Neutron Number - ANSWER Atomic Mass - Atomic Number



Radioactive - ANSWER A nucleus that spontaneously decomposes, forming a different
nucleus and producing one or more particles; alpha, beta, and gamma ray



Alpha Particle - ANSWER One type of radioactive particle; it is a essentially a helium
nucleus; when this type of particle is released, the mass of the atom is conserved and so
is the atomic number
