Chemistry unit 1 Physical or Chemical Changes Flashcards
What are the 3 states of matter?
Solid, liquid and gas
Name 3 properties of a solid
They have a fixed shape, really strong bonds between molecules, they do not pour
Name 3 properties of a liquid
Can be poured, take shape of their container, slightly less close packed, intermolecular bonds are strong
Name 3 properties of a gas
particles are spread out, intermolecular bonds are weak, spread out to fill all available space, gas molecules are constantly moving
The boiling point of water is?

Melting
What do you call the process by which a gas becomes a liquid?
Condensation
What do call the process by which a gas becomes a solid?
Deposition
What do you call the process bu which a solid becomes a gas?
Sublimation
As a block of ice starts to melt, the bonds between the oxygen and hydrogen particles starts to …. and ….
weaken and break
Name 3 types of precipitation
rain, snow, sleet, hail
What causes evaporation of the seas and oceans?
The heat from the sun
What does water vapour form when it condenses in the atmosphere?
clouds
Name the 3 places that rain goes when it falls?
Ground water, surface runoff, aquifers
Name the other source of water vapour in the atmosphere?
Transpiration from trees
What has happened to the clouds so that it rains?
They become saturated
What determines the type of precipitation that we get?
The air temperature in the atmosphere
What does AQ stand for?
Saturated solution
What is a reversible reaction?
when a substance can be separated when heated and put back together when cooled without losing mass.
What is an example irreversible reaction?
Frying an egg or backing a cake because these ingredients can not be taken out or reversed once backed.
