Intro to chemistry- topic 3.1 Flashcards
test
liquid to gas
evaporation
liquid to solid
solidification/freezing
gas to liquid
condensation
solid to gas
sublimation
gas to solid
deposition/boiling
solid particle arrangement
touching, vibrate around fixed positions, ordered
liquid particle arrangement
touching, random arrangement, close together, brush past each other
gas particle arrangement
aren’t touching, complete random arrangement, spread out far apart, moving freely
physical change
no new substance formed, reversable
chemical change
new substance formed, irreversible
interconversion
changing state to next
diffusion of gases
particles spread out from where there are lots of particles (high concentration) to where there is a lower concentration until they are thoroughly mixed, don’t occur in solids
when gases meet, form ring of ammonium chloride- closer to one end then the other
Element
simplest substance, made up of one type of atom, can’t be broken down
periodic table arrangement 1
first is atomic mass then atomic symbol then atomic number
periodic table arrangement 2
vertical are groups, horizontal are periods
metal properties
solid, high melting point, electrical conductor, thermal conductor, shiny when polished, high density, hard and strong, oxides are bases, malleable and ductile
non-metal properties
solid/liquid/gas, low melting point, electrical insulator, thermal insulator, dull, low density, brittle, oxides are acids, not malleable or ductile
Separation of non-metal and metal on periodic table
non-metals starts from under boron in a zigzag till it reaches bottom, the rest are metals
compound
two or more different types of atoms chemically bonded together
carbon
black solid, powdered form, orange glow, acidic oxide
iron
wool grey consistency, grey strands, white orange sparks, basic oxide (alkaline)
sulfur
pale yellow solid, powdered form, burns with blue flame, white smoke solid, acidic oxide
magnesium
shiny grey solid, ribbon form, white bright light, white solid formed, basic oxide (alkaline)
thermal decomposition
heat energy used to break down substance
