C2 F4 Flashcards
Matter
Something that has mass and occupies space.
Element
Substances that only consist of one type of atom
Compound
Substances that consist of more than one element that form a molecule
Physical States of Matter (solid)
Packed very closely
Vibrate at a fixed position
Kinetic Energy low
force of attraction strong
Physical States of Matter (liquid)
Packed closely but have empty space between them
Move randomly
force of attraction moderate
Kinetic Energy moderate
Physical States of Matter (gas)
Particle very far apart
Move randomly
force of attraction weak
Kinetic Energy low
heating(slanting)
Heat is absorbed
kinetic energy of solid/liquid/gas particles increases
particles vibrate and rotate faster
temp increases
Horizontal line(melting/boilling)
Melting/boilling process take place
all the heat is absorbed is used to overcome force of atraction between solid/liquid particles
kinetic energy of particles remain constant
temp constant
Function of oil/water bath
ensure uniform heating
Cooling(slanting)
Heat is released to surroundings
kinetic energy of solid/liquid/gas particles decreases
particles vibrate and rotate/move slower
temp decreases
Horizontal line(freezing and condensation)
heat lost to surroundings is equal to heat released during formation of attraction between gas/liquid particles
kinetic energy of particles remain constant
temp constant
Definition of Isotopes
Atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons.
Carbon-14
Estimation of artifacts or fossils’ age
Cobalt-60
kill cancer cells
Sodium-24
In detecting leakage in underground pipes
