Chapter 2 Flashcards
Matter
Anything that has mass and occupies space
What are the states of Matter
- Solid
- Liquid
- Gas
- Plasma
What is the role of each state of matter
- Solid - Define shape & Volume
- Liquid - Defines Volume and changeable shape
- Gas - Changeable shape and volume.
Energy
Capacity to do work or put matter into motion
What Types of Energy is there?
2 Types,
- Kinetic
- Potential
What is the role of each energy
- Kinetic - Energy in action
2. Potential - Stored inactive energy
How many forms of Energy are there?
4
What are the 4 forms of energy?
- Chemical energy
- Electrical energy
- Mechanical energy
- Radiant or electromagnetic
Chemical Energy
Stored in bonds of chemical substance
Electrical Energy
Results from movement of charged particals
Mechanical Energy
Directly involved in moving matter
Radiant or Electromagnetic Energy
Exhibits wavelike properties (Ex. Visible light, ultraviolet light, and x-rays)
Energy Form Conversion
- Energy may be converted from one form to another
2. Conversion is inefficient because some energy is “lose” as heat
Composition if Matter
- elements
Cannot be broken down by ordinary chemicals means
each has unique properties
Physical properties
are detectable with our senses, or are measurable
Chemical properties
How atoms interact (bone) with one another
What is the unique building block for each element
Atoms
