Chapter 5 quiz Flashcards
Matter
Anything that has mass and takes up space
Chemistry
The study of matter and the changes it undergoes
Particle Theory of Matter
A theory that describes the composition and behaviour of matter
Pure Substance
A substance that is made up of only one type of particle
Mixture
A substance that is made up of at least two different types of particles
Alloy
A solid solution of two or more metals
What is all matter made out of?
_ kinds of matter is made up of _ kinds of particles.
All matter is made of tiny particles
Different kinds of matter is made up of different kinds of particles
Main ideas of the particle theory of matter (5)
- All matter is made up of tiny particles with empty spaces in between
- Different substances are made up of different kinds of particles
- Particles are in constant random motion
- As temperatures increase, the particles of a substance moves faster
- Particles attract each other
How do particles of a substance become solid?
Particles of a substance become solid when the forces of attraction are strong enough to hold them close together
How do particles of a substance become a liquid?
Particles gain energy and begin to move faster when they are heated. Once they have enough thermal energy, they begin to slide past each other since the attraction is not strong enough to hold them together and turn into the liquid state. The particles are still close together but are able to flow past one another
How do particles of a substance become a gaseous state.
As the heating continues, the particles gain so much energy that they fly apart and become the gaseous state. The particles are so far apart that their forces of attraction have barely any effect on their behaviour
Element
pure substance that is made up of only one type of atom
Diatomic Element
A molecule composed of the same atoms
Compound
pure substance that are made up of two or more different types of elements
Mechanical mixture - aka
(Heterogeneous mixture) When the substances in it are distinguishable from each other with just your eyes or a microscope
Eg. breakfast cereal
Solutions - aka
(Homogeneous Mixture) Looks like a pure substance but has more than one type of particle
You can’t visually distinguish the different types of particles
Eg. Clear apple juice
How to know if a liquid and gas mixture is mechanical
If a liquid and gas mixture looks murky or opaque it is a mechanical mixture (liquid and gas solutions are clear)
Alloys are solutions or mechanical mixtures
Alloys are solutions
How to calculate density, mass and volume
Density = mass/Volume
D = m/V
Mass = Density x Volume
Volume = Mass / Density
