Chemistry Flashcards
Which out of the 3 types of particles are fixed
Solid
Which out of the 3 types of particles can flow
Liquid and gas
Which out of the 3 types of particles can be squashed
Gas
Which out of the 3 types of particles have a fixed volume
Solid, liquid
Which out of the 3 types of particles are the most dense
Solid
What are the characteristics of a solid
Touching
Fixed position
Uniform arrangement
Can vibrate
What are the characteristics of a liquid
Touching
No fixed position
Flow
Random arrangement
What are the characteristics of a gas
Fills container Random arrangement Flows No fixed position Not touching
What are particles moving around described as
Kinetic energy
What is a solid into liquid called
Melting
What is a liquid into gas called
Evaporating
What is a gas into a liquid
Melting
What is a liquid into a solid
Freezing
What is a solid into a gas
Sublimation
What is a gas into a solid
Deposition
What is melting point?
0 degrees
What is evaporation
A liquid is so hot that particles start to SEPERATE to a gas due to the build up of energy
What is condensing
When a gas is so cold the energy starts to break up and making the forces stronger
What is diffusion
Diffusion is the process of changing a high concentration substance to a low concentration substance
What happens if gas is put into a container
It pushes against the walls, and the particles exert a pressure when they hit the wall, creating a pressure
Neutron
No charge
Inside the nucleus
Mass - 1
Proton
Has a charge
Inside the nucleus
MAss - 1
Electron
Negative charge
Mass - 0
Where does diffusion occur
Mostly in gasses, liquids
