Chemistry Flashcards
Matter
Anything that occupies space and had mass
Mass
Is the amount of matter in a object
3 states of matter
Solids liquids and gasses
Property of solids
Solids have a definite shape,volume,solids can not be compressed and can’t flow
Properties of liquid
Liquid
Melting point
Is when both the solid and liquid state exist together changing form solid to liquid
Boiling point
Of a liquid is when evaporation begins to happen thought out the liquid changing form liquid to gas
Condensation
Is changing of a gas to a liquid
Diffusion
Is the movement of the particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration e.g. spray perfume in one corner of the room,and it spreads to the rest of the room
Plasma
Is the fourth state of matter,like gas,but can conduct electricity
Physical change
No change in particles just the particle arrangement and Energy easy to reverse e.g. mixing water and slat
Chemical change
A chemical reaction takes place and a new substance is formed, very difficult to reverse e.g. burning a match
During a chemical reaction
The atoms rearrange to form a new substance. Might be seen by colour change,light being emitted or bubbles
Law of conservation of mass
Matter can be changed from one form to another.During physical and chemical change, there is no overall change in mass
Mixture
Consist of 2 or more substances mingled together but not chemically combined e.g. sand and water
