Chemistry Flashcards
Change of state
A physical change from one state to another
Compression
A external force that decreases the space between particles, causing it to occupy a smaller space/volume
Condense
The physical change from gas to liquid
Contract
Particles moving closer and taking up smaller volume
Density
The mass of a substance divided by its volume to measure how close the particles in a substance are (measured in g/cm cubed or g/mL)
Evaporate
The physical change from liquid to gas
Expand
Particles moving apart, and taking up a bigger volume
Matter
Matter is anything that has mass and takes up volume
Melt
The physical change from solid to liquid
Property
A specific characteristic of a substance for example volume it takes up shape it takes melting point
Reverse sublimation
The physical change from gas to solid
Solidify/freeze
The physical change from a liquid to solid
State of matter
Solid liquid or gas
Sublimation
The physical change from a solid to gas
Volume
The space of substance occupies measured in centimeters cubed, mL or L
Atom
Smallest complete particle of matter
Atomic number
The number of protons in an atom
Chromatography
A separation technique used to separate soluble particles based on their size or attractions
Compound
Pure substance made up of two or more types of atoms chemically join together
Concentration
The number of particles in a given volume
Concentrated solution
A solution with a high number of solute particles dissolved in a given volume of solvent
Dilute solution
A solution with a low number of solute particles dissolved in a given volume of solvent
Distillation
Separation technique to separate two liquids based on their boiling point
Electron configuration
The arrangement of electrons in their shells
