s, What is chemical change?
A change in the orgininal substance, and more substances being produced in the process
What is a physical change?
When the substance stays the same and no new substances are being produced
What is a solution?
a uniform mixture of two or
more substances
(looks like a pure substance but it contains more than one type
of particle. clear apple juice)
What is a mixture?
a substance that is made up of
at least two different types of particles
What is a mechanical mixture?
a mixture in which
you can distinguish between different
types of matter
What is a pure substance?
A substance that is made up of only one particle
What is a physical property?
A characteristic of a substance that can be determined without altering the substance
What is a chemical property?
A characteristic of a substance that is determined when the substance is altered
What is qualitative property?
The property of a substance is that is not measured and has no numerical value ( color, odour, texture )
What is quantitative property?
The property of a substance that is measured and has numerical value ( temperature, height, mass )
Examples of physical change
Change of shape/size
Change of states (solid, liquid, gas)
Dissolving
Examples of chemical change
Change of color
Change of odour
Bubbles produced
Precipitates
Change in temperature/light
What are the properties of a solid?
Distance between particles are greater/closer
Attractive forces are greater
Speed of particles are slower
Particles are compressed
What are the properties of a liquid?
Distance between particles are greater than solid
Attractive forces are less than solids
Speed of particles are faster than solid
Particles are not compressed
What are the properties of a gas?
Distance between particles are far appart
The attractive forces are the least in this state
Speed of particles are very fast
There is no compression of particles
