Ch.6.1 Flashcards
________________ is all around us.
Matter
All matter has two properties:
- it has ________________
- it ________________ ________________ ________________
mass
takes up space
However, there are things which are not matter, eg ________________. These things ________________ ________________ ________________ ________________ and ________________ ________________ ________________ ________________ ________________.
light
do not have mass, do not take up space
Three people in history have thought of the question of ________________ ________________ __________ _______________ ________ ________:
- ________________________
- ________________ ________________
- ________________ ________________
what matter is made up of
Democritus
Robert Brown
Albert Einstein
Democritus’s idea:
- ________________ BC
- He suggested that if matter was ________________ ________________ ________________ and ________________ pieces, at some point, we would get very ________________ pieces that ________________ ________________ ____________ ________________ ________________.
- these tiny pieces are called ________________
- they are the ________________ ________________ of ________________
- however his idea _____________ _____________ ________________ in his time as there was ____________ ________________ to ________________ it
400, divided into smaller, smaller, tiny, could not be further divided, particles, building blocks, matter, was not accepted, no evidence, support
Robert Brown’s discovery:
- ________________ (time)
- In an experiment, Brown found that ________________ ________________move ________________ on their own in ________________ ________________
- Brown didn’t know what caused them to move, and that his discovery would turn out to be ________________ ______ ______________ _________ ________________ __________ ________________
- the motion of them was later called ________________ ________________
1827
pollen grains, randomly, still water
evidence to support the idea of particles, Brownian motion
Albert Einstein’s explanation
- ________________ (time)
- Einstein explained the Brownian motion of the pollen grains in water as follows:
- water is ________________ ________________ ________ ____________ ________________ ________________
- the ________________ ________________ are ________________ ________________ than the pollen grains and they are ________________ ___________ _________________ ________________
- they ________________ the pollen grains in ________________ ________________ from time to time
- therefore, the pollen grains are ________________ ________________ in ________________ ________________
1905
made up of very small particles, water particles, much smaller, moving in different directions
hit, different directions
moving randomly, zigzag paths
Besides Brownian motion, scientist have done ________________ ________________ and found a lot of ________________ to support the idea of ________________. They have summarised the idea into the ________________ ________________.
many experiments, evidence, particles, particle theory
Particle theory: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
- All matter is made up of particles
- Particles are very small
- Different matter is made up of different particles
- Different particles have different sizes and masses
- Particles are moving all the time
- There are empty spaces between particles
Particles are _________ ___________ _________________ to be seen with the _________________ ___________, or even with a _________________ _____________________. They are far _________________ than cells.
far too small, naked eye, light microscope, smaller
You can see the particles of a leaf after zooming in on it for _________________ times.
400000
We can _________________ _________________ that provide _________________ to support the particle theory.
conduct experiments, evidence
Two experiments conducted to prove the particle theory:
Can you smell the perfume contained in a balloon?
Does the total volume change when water and alcohol are mixed?
Can you smell the perfume contained in a balloon proves: 1. 2. 3. 4.
All matter is made up of particles
Particles are very small
There are empty spaces between particles
Particles are moving all the time
Does the total volume change when water and alcohol are mixed? Proves: 1. 2. 3. 4.
All matter is made up of particles
There are empty spaces between particles
Different matter is made up of different particles
Different particles have different sizes and masses
