Chemestry Yr.7 Flashcards
Particle
A particle is a microscopic building block that builds up everything around us
Melting
This is when a source of heat provides heat-energy to the particle and the particles speed up, breaking the bonds and turning the solid to liquid
Evaporation
This is when a liquid is given so much heat-energy it boils and starts moving quickly, like a gas, and it will start to become invisible and goes from liquid to gas
Condensation
This is when particles in a gas have been cooled down and start to become like a liquid, more slowed down, this happens until it is a liquid
Freezing
This is when particles in a liquid cool down so much they can no longer move and become solid
Cooling
This is when something’s temperature drops
Heating
This is when something’s temperature rises
Dissolving
This is when a solid merges with a liquid to make a solution
Solution
This is what is made when you merge a solid and a liquid
Solute
This is the thing that will dissolve into the solvent
Solvent
This is what the solute dissolves into
Chemical reaction
A chemical reaction is when two or more elements bond to make a product
