Solids have a … shape
Fixed
Solids cannot be C… and forced into a smaller shape. We say the volume is F…
Compressed
Fixed
Liquids cannot be C… and forced into a smaller space. We say that the volume is F…
Compressed
Fixed
Liquids can flow and take the S… of their containers
Shape
Gases can easily be C… (squeezed), gases do not have a fixed S… or V…
Compressed
Shape
Volume
Gases flow easily, spreading into O… spaces

What are the limitations of the particle model?
1) The model doesn’t show the forces of attraction acting between particles
2) Particles are not solid spheres- they are single atoms, ions or molecules that consist mostly of empty space, molecules have a range of shapes.
Atoms have no overall C…
Charge
Atoms have the same number of P… and E…
Protons
Electrons
Why are noble gases the most stable?
They have a full outer shell
What are ions?
Charged atoms (have a different number of protons and electrons
Metals loose e- to form P… I…
Positive ions
Non metals gain e- to form N… I…
Negative ions
ATOMIC STRUCTURE:
An atom must contain equal numbers of P… charged protons and negatively charged E… . The number of N… in an atom is less of an importance.
An atom must contain equal numbers of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons. The number of neutrons in an atom is less of an importance.
ATOMIC STRUCTURE:
Protons and N… are tightly bound together in the N… of an atom. The E… move rapidly around the nucleus in energy levels (or S…)
Protons and neutrons are tightly bound together in the nucleus of an atom. The electrons move rapidly around the nucleus in energy levels (or shells)
ATOMIC STRUCTURE:
When an atom gains or loses electrons, an I… is formed. Positive ions are formed when metal atoms L… electrons and negative ions are formed when N…-M… atoms G… electrons. When an ion is formed, there is no change in the nucleus because the numbers of P… and neutrons stay the same
When an atom gains or loses electrons, an ion is formed. Positive ions are formed when metal atoms lose electrons and negative ions are formed when non-metal atoms gain electrons. When an ion is formed, there is no change in the nucleus because the numbers of protons and neutrons stay the same
