General Chemistry - 1st Session Examination Flashcards
type of substance that is made up of one type of atom
element
a type of substance that is made up of two or more types of atoms
compound
have particles that are very close to each other in a highly organized arrangement, which is why they have a fixed volume and shape
solid
have particles that are slightly farther apart from each other but are close enough to allow them to flow and have a definite volume.
liquid
have particles that are very far apart from each other, which is why they expand and assume their container’s shape and volume.
gas
The phase change from solid to liquid is called
melting or fusion
The phase change from liquid to gas is called
boiling, evaporation, vaporization
The phase change from solid to gas is called
sublimation
