Chemistry Flashcards
PTOM: All matter is made up of
Tiny Particles
PTOM: All particles of _______ are the _____ Different ____ are made up of different ______
One substance, same, substances, particles
PTOM: Paticles are always
Moving
PTOM: Particles move _____ at ___ compared to ___ temperatures.
Faster, high, low.
PTOM: Particles are ____ to one another these forces are stronger when particles are _______
attracted, closer together
Describe Particles in a solid
Particles are very close. Strong attraction. Vibration only back and forth.
Describe particles in a liquid
Particles are close. Attraction. Particles can slide past each other.
Describe particles in a gas
Particles are very far apart. Particles are moving rapidly.
Explain the breakdown of matter
Matter
Pure Substances Mixtures
Element Compound Homo.
Hetero
Matter is: Anything that has _______ and _________ (has ________). Matter can be classified into __________ and ________
mass, takes up space, volume, pure substances, mixtures
A Pure substance: substances made up of only _______ of _______ or ________
one type, atom, molecules
Mixtures contain
two or more substances
Elements contain ___________–_ found on the
one element, periodic table
Compounds contain ___________ element in a fixed ratio
more than 1
Homogeneous mixtures are a substance that appears the _____________ aka solution
same throughout
Heterogeneous mixtures are a substance where the material is __________ (parts can be seen) mechanical mixtures
not uniform
Physical Property (Qualitative), Examples
Can be observed by your 5 senses. State colour odour mass volume stregnth flexibility malleability, lustre
Physical property (Quantitative) Examples
Can be measured. Mass or weight, volume temperature melting point, density
Chemical properties, examples
Describes how a substance changes to form one or two new substances. Combustibility, reactivity (with water, acids oxygen), flammability, acidity or basicity, toxicity, radio activity
Physical change definition. Examples
Involves a tranformation in the form of a substance and is reversible. This would include dissolving or any change of state, such as melting condensation or freezing. Chopping wood, melting ice and boiling water.
Chemical change, examples
Involves a transformation in the chemical structure or make-up of the matter involved. It is NOT reversible and always involves the formation of a new substance. burning wood, souring milk, cookin an egg, baking a cake, rusting of iron, digesting food.
What are the 5 indication of a chemical change
Colour change, formation of a solid (percipitate), production of an odour, temperature change, or formation of bubbles.
What is an atom
The smallest part of a chemical element is an atom.
The word atom comes from the Greek word atomos meaning indivisble.
With new discoveries and prgressive scientific experiments, the concept of an atom has changed overtime.
Atomic theory is the study of the nature of atoms and how they combine to form all types of matter.
An understanding of atoms and their structure can help us predict many of the properties of matter.
