1.1 Introduction to the particulate nature of mater anche chemical change Flashcards
what are the three states of matter?
solid liquid and gas
what do the three states of matter differ in?
arrangement and movement of the particles
the particles in the three states of matter can be 3 types
individual atoms, ions, or molecules
definition of sublimination
sublimation is the change of state when a substance goes directly from solid state to gaseous state, without passing through the liquid state
definition of deposition
deposition is the change of state when a substance goes directly from gaseous state to solid state, without passing through the liquid state
what happens to the particles in solids?
the particles vibrate about mean positions
what happens to the particles in liquids?
the particles move around each other
what happens to the particles in gases?
the particles move at high speeds in all directions
at what temperature can evaporation occur?
at any temperature
what happens when a solid is heated?
the particles vibrate more and gain kinetic energy
definition of chemistry
the study of how chemical elements combine to make the world and the universe
definition of an element
it is a pure substance that contains only 1 type of atom
definition of an atom
it is the smallest part of an element that can still be recognized as that element
true or false: the physical and chemical properties of a compound are the same as those of the elements from which it is formed
false
definition of a compound
it is a pure substance formed when two or more elements combine chemically.
