chemistry Flashcards
what are the three states
Solid,liquid,gas
what do the particles in a solid do
they vibrate around a fixed point
what do the particles in a liquid do
The particles are NO longer fixed and they can slide over each other
what do the particles in a gas do
they are far apart and move fast and collide with ecah other
do solids have a fixed shape or volume
yes solids do have a fixed shape and a fixed volume
do liquids have a fixed shape and volume
Liquids can adapt to there contatiner and do have a fixed volume though
do gas have a fixed shape of volume
gas has neither a fixed shape of volume
how does a solid turn into a liquid
by melting
how does a liquid turn into a gas
by boiling
how does a gas turn into a solid
by sublimation
how does a liquid turn into a solid
by freezing
how does a gas turn into liquid
by condensing
what is sublimation
conversion of a substance from the solid to the gaseous state without its becoming liquid
What is diffusion
high consentraction to low consentraction
what is a element
if all atoms are the same then that substance is a element.
