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.

A

Matter transformation that does not involve measurement scales.

27
Q

Physical Changes

A

Molecules are kept intact, they only change their organization.

28
Q

Chemical Changes

A

Molecules modify their structure.

29
Q

Chemical Properties of matter

A

Based on how reactive something is.

30
Q

Which are the two kinds of physical properties? |

A

Intensive and Extensive

31
Q

Intensive properties of matter

A

Doesn’t matter how much mass the object has. Color, Melting and boiling point, density.

32
Q

Extensive properties of matter

A

Determined by how much mass the object has. Mass, Volume, Length and Shape.

33
Q

What are the properties of matter?

A

Characteristics that allow us to identify a substance by measurement or scale.

34
Q

Are mass and energy the same?

A

According to the relativist theory mass and energy are different manifestations of matter.

35
Q

Substance

A

Something that cannot be physically separated.

36
Q

Compound

A

A substance that can be chemically decomposed

37
Q

Element

A

A substance that cannot be chemically decomposed.

38
Q

Mixture

A

Elements merged together in which there is no bonding whatsoever and can be physically separated.

39
Q

Homogeneous Mixture

A

Uniform composition.

40
Q

Heterogeneous Mixture

A

Not uniform.

41
Q

Colloids

A

Appears to be a homgoeneous mixture but has small particles there.

42
Q

Suspensions

A

Similar to a colloid but has bigger particles.

43
Q

Mass

A

Amount of matter.

44
Q

Weight

A

Amount of matter times the force of gravity.

45
Q

Substance

A

Particular kind of matter with uniform characteristics.

46
Q

Compounds

A

Substance made up of two or more elements that can be separated chemically.

47
Q

Compressibility

A

Measure of the change in volume resulting from external pressure applied to the surface of an object.

48
Q

Viscosity

A

A fluids resistance to flow.

49
Q

Miscibility

A

Two liquids with similar polarities mix.

50
Q

Difusion

A

Atoms merge together as a result of kinetic energy and the concentration equalizes on a lower concentration.

51
Q

Polarity

A

Distribution of charge inside a molecule.
