C2 Flashcards
What are 3 states of matter
Liquid
Solid
Gas
What is the melting point
The temperature at which a solid changes into a liquid
What is the boiling point
The temperature at which the particles gain enough energy to change from a liquid to a gas
What does the amount of energy needed to break bonds to change state depend on?
Strength of forces between particles of substance
The stronger the forces between particles…
The higher the m.p. and b.p. of substance
What does (aq) stand for
Aqueous solution
(g) meanning
Gas
(l) meanning
Liquid
(s) meanning
Solid
Describe properties of gas particles
- widely spaced
- movement of particles: in random directions at random speed
- collisions are frequent and elastic
- weak forces between particles
- have highest energy
Describe properties of liquid particles
- closely spaced but still in constant motion
-therefore constantly colliding - forces between particles are weaker than in solid
- randomly arranged
- move around eachother
- can flow and take shape of container
Describe solid particles
Solid particles can only vibrate in a fixed position
- low energy
- regular pattern
- cannot be compressed
How do you turn: solid into liquid
Melting
How do you turn: liquid into gas
Evaporating/ boiling
How do you turn: gas into liquid
Condensing
How do you turn: liquid into solid
Freezing
How do you turn: gas to solid or solid to gas
Sublimation
Example of sublimation
Solid carbon dioxide ( dry ice) and Iodine
How do substances change state
Energy must be transferred
How do substances melt. Explain in terms of energy
- particles gain energy- heating
- bonds are broken between particles
What happens when a substance boils or evaporates.
Forces of attraction between particles are overcome
The stronger the forces of attraction…
The more energy Is required to overcome forces
What happens to particles during condensation and freezing
- Energy is transferred from substance to surroundings
- This is because the forces of attraction between the particles get stronger
How do you know if a substance is solid when given its temperature
Given temperature < melting point
= solid
How do you if a substance is liquid when given the temperatures of its b.p. and m.p.
Given temperature is between melting and boiling points
=liquid
How do you know if a substance is gas when given its temperature
Given temperature > boiling point
= gas
What are limitations of particles model
- particles are not solid they are mostly empty space
- many particles are not spherical
- no forces between spheres
What does the particle model show
Particles are solid spheres with no forces between them
How can you distinguish a pure substance when given the time and temperature it takes for it to melt and boil
- pure substance will melt or boil at a fixed temperature (flat horizontal line)
- mixture will melt over a range of temperatures and not sharp melting point
Define ion
- charged atom
- when an atom loses or gains electrons to obtain full outer shell
In what compounds does ionic bonding occur between
Metals combined with non- metals
What ions do metal atoms form in ionic bonding
Positively charged ions- lose electron
What ions do non metal atoms form in ionic bonding
Negatively charged ions- gain electron
How are positive metal ions formed in ionic bonding
-When metal reacts with non-metal and loses electron from outer shell -it becomes fully stable
- positive because there is more protons than electrons
How do non metals become negatively charged ions in ionic bonding
-they gain electron
-to get fully stable outer shell
- becomes negatively charged because there is more electrons than protons
Group 1 always forms ..
1+ ions
Group 2 always forms..
2+ ions
