1a states of matter Flashcards
understand the three states of matter in terms of the arrangement, movement and energy of the particles
.Gas: particles have the most energy – shown by the diagram, as the particles are the most spread apart with a random arrangement
.Liquid: particles have more energy than those in a solid, but less than those in a gas and the particles are closer together but have a random arrangement
.solid has least energy – particles are not moving/are just vibrating and they are arranged regularly and very closely together
melting
solid to liquid
freezing
liquid to solid
boiling
liquid to gas
condensing
gas to liquid
sublimation
solid to gas
diffusion
Movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of
low concentration
solvent
liquid in which a solute dissolves
solute
substance that dissolves in a liquid to form a solution
solution
mixture formed when a solute has dissolved in a solvent
saturated solution
solution in which no more solvent can be dissolved
