ch1- atomic structure Flashcards
whatre the 3 states of matter
liquids solid and gas
describe movement and arangement of particles in gas molecules
-easily compressed
-particles are widely spaced
-have no fixed volume so theyt take shape of container
-move rapidly and quickly
describe movement and arrangement of particles in liquid molecules
-closely packed little spaces
-can flow
-no fixed volume so they take shape of their container
-flow
describe movement and arangement of particles in solid molecules
-fixed shape and volume
-particles packed closesly in a fixed pattern
-vibrate which generates kinetic energy
-cant be compressed
whatre the 2 changes of states that involve particles coming closer together and where do they transfer energy
-condensation (gas to liquid)
-freezing (liquid to solid)
they transfer energy to their surroundings since theyre reforming bonds between particles (exothermic)
whatre the 2 changes of states that involve particles seperating and where do they transfer energy
-melting (solid->liquid)
-evaporation (liquid->gas)
they take in energy from surrounding (endothermic)
whatre the 2 factors that effect diffusion
- state of matter (diffusion takes place faster in gasses than liquids)
-density of particles (small and light particles diffuse faster than heavy larger ones)
stronger forces between particles=…
more energy required to break up the intermolecular forces
define and give an example of a molecule
2 or more atoms held by chemical bonds ex-oxygen or water
define a compound
2 or more different elements held together by chemical bonds
define and give an example of mixture
-2 or more substances that are physically but not chemically bonded
ex- air, since it has oxygen carbon dioxide and nitrogen
state the relative mass of each subatomic particle
proton-1
neutron-1
electron- very small (0)
state the relative charges of each subatomic particle
proton +1
electron -1
neutron- 0
whats the atomic number
number of electrons=protons in an element
what does the mass number constist of
proton+neutron
