Q

Plasma (Ionized gas)

A

So much heat that the atom breaks apart and leaves a bunch of nucleus and electrons free.

Q

Bose-Einstein (Super atom)

A

It exists at absolute zero because atoms stop behaving like a particle and behave like waves which causes an atom identity loss.

26
Changes of matter
Matter transformation that does not involve measurement scales.
27
Physical Changes
Molecules are kept intact, they only change their organization.
28
Chemical Changes
Molecules modify their structure.
29
Chemical Properties of matter
Based on how reactive something is.
30
Which are the two kinds of physical properties? |
Intensive and Extensive
31
Intensive properties of matter
Doesn't matter how much mass the object has. Color, Melting and boiling point, density.
32
Extensive properties of matter
Determined by how much mass the object has. Mass, Volume, Length and Shape.
33
What are the properties of matter?
Characteristics that allow us to identify a substance by measurement or scale.
34
Are mass and energy the same?
According to the relativist theory mass and energy are different manifestations of matter.
35
Substance
Something that cannot be physically separated.
36
Compound
A substance that can be chemically decomposed
37
Element
A substance that cannot be chemically decomposed.
38
Mixture
Elements merged together in which there is no bonding whatsoever and can be physically separated.
39
Homogeneous Mixture
Uniform composition.
40
Heterogeneous Mixture
Not uniform.
41
Colloids
Appears to be a homgoeneous mixture but has small particles there.
42
Suspensions
Similar to a colloid but has bigger particles.
43
Mass
Amount of matter.
44
Weight
Amount of matter times the force of gravity.
45
Substance
Particular kind of matter with uniform characteristics.
46
Compounds
Substance made up of two or more elements that can be separated chemically.
47
Compressibility
Measure of the change in volume resulting from external pressure applied to the surface of an object.
48
Viscosity
A fluids resistance to flow.
49
Miscibility
Two liquids with similar polarities mix.
50
Difusion
Atoms merge together as a result of kinetic energy and the concentration equalizes on a lower concentration.
51
Polarity
Distribution of charge inside a molecule.
