bonding, structure and the properties of matter Flashcards
what substance can be sublime?
solid carbon dioxide (dry ice)
what happens during change of state?
during the changes particles gain energy which is used to break bonds between particles.
what is a solid?
solid is a fixed shape and cannot flow, they cannot be compressed as they have no space to move into
what is a liquid?
liquids flow and take the shape of their container, their particles can move around each other but cannot be compressed
what is a gas?
gases flow and completely fill the container, the particles can move quickly and can be compressed
what does the amount of energy needed to change state depend on?
the strength of the forces between the particles
what is the negative electrode?
cathode
what is the positive electrode?
anode
what is the negative ion?
anion
what is the positive ion?
cation
what is used to lower the boiling point up in electrolysis?
cryolite
what is produced at the cathode? (negative electrode)
hydrogen is produced if the metal is more reactive than hydrogen
what is produced at the anode? (positive electrode)
oxygen is produced unless the solution contains halide ions when the halogen is produced
what happens to the melting and boiling point of substances?
the stronger the forces between particles, the higher its melting and boiling points
what process is condensing and freezing?
exothermic
