Chapter 3 - Kinetic Theory of Matter Flashcards
Solid
Own shape Own volume Can't slide past each other Vibrate in place Least energy
Liquid
Shape of container
Own volume
Can slide past each other
Moderate energy
Gas
Shape and volume of container
Bounce of container and each other always
High energy
Plasma
Ionized gas- gas without electrons
Good conductor of electricity
Most energy
Deposition
Phase change from gas to solid
Fusion/Melting
Solid to liquid
Condensation
Gas to liquid
Vaporization/Boiling
Liquid to gas
On surface and inside the surface
Evaporation
Liquid to gas
Only on surface
Freezing
Liquid to solid
Sublimation
Gas to solid
Law of conservation of mass
Mass can neither be created nor destroyed
Collision Theory
If particles collide in the correct orientation and with enough energy, they will react.
Factors that increase the rate of a reaction
- Adding a Catalyst
- Increasing Concentration
- Increasing Temperature
- Increasing Volume
- Increasing Surface Area
Catalyst
Lowers activation energy
