Chemistry flashcards for Navy Sailor Test
21 of 50 cards from the Chemistry deck — real questions with worked answers.
What is chemistry?
The branch of science that deals with the composition, structure, properties, and changes (reactions) of matter.
What does organic chemistry study?
The study of carbon-containing compounds (mainly hydrocarbons and their derivatives).
What does inorganic chemistry study?
The study of compounds that do not contain carbon-hydrogen bonds, such as metals, minerals, salts, and acids.
What does physical chemistry study?
The study of how matter behaves on a molecular/atomic level and how chemical reactions occur, using physics principles (energy, kinetics, thermodynamics).
What is biochemistry?
The branch of chemistry that studies chemical processes and substances within living organisms.
What does analytical chemistry deal with?
The identification (qualitative) and measurement of amounts (quantitative) of substances in a sample.
What are the three subatomic particles of an atom and their charges?
Proton (positive), neutron (neutral), and electron (negative).
Where are protons and neutrons located in an atom?
In the nucleus (the dense center of the atom).
What is the atomic number of an element?
The number of protons in the nucleus of its atom (it also equals the number of electrons in a neutral atom).
What is the mass number of an atom?
The total number of protons plus neutrons in the nucleus.
What are isotopes?
Atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons (so different mass numbers).
What is the maximum number of electrons in the first three shells (K, L, M)?
K shell = 2, L shell = 8, M shell = 18 (formula 2n²).
What is an element?
A pure substance made of only one type of atom that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means.
What is a compound?
A pure substance formed when two or more elements chemically combine in a fixed ratio (e.g., water, Hâ‚‚O).
What is a mixture?
A combination of two or more substances that are physically mixed but not chemically combined, and can be separated by physical methods.
What is the difference between a homogeneous and a heterogeneous mixture?
Homogeneous mixtures have uniform composition throughout (e.g., salt water); heterogeneous mixtures have non-uniform composition with visibly different parts (e.g., sand and water).
Who arranged the modern periodic table and on what basis?
Henry Moseley arranged it in order of increasing atomic number; Dmitri Mendeleev created the earlier table based on atomic mass.
What is a period in the periodic table?
A horizontal row; elements in the same period have the same number of electron shells.
What is a group in the periodic table?
A vertical column; elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons and similar chemical properties.
Where are metals, non-metals, and metalloids located in the periodic table?
Metals on the left and center, non-metals on the upper right, and metalloids along the zig-zag staircase line between them.
What are the elements in Group 18 of the periodic table called?
Noble gases (inert gases) — they are chemically unreactive because they have full outer electron shells.
Planning Chemistry for Navy Sailor Test
Chemistry is about 14% of the Navy Sailor Test syllabus by topic count — 16 of 118 topics, spread over 5 chapters. At roughly 45 minutes per topic plus 12 minutes per sub-topic, a first pass runs to about 10 hours.
The heaviest chapters are Fundamentals of Chemistry (4 topics), Chemical Bonding and Reactions (3 topics), States of Matter (3 topics) . Front-load those while your energy is high; the short chapters are better revision filler later.
Work top-down: read the chapter, then tick topics off individually rather than marking the whole chapter done. Sub-topics are where silent gaps hide.
