matter Flashcards
define matter
matter is anything that takes of space and has a mass
what’s the particle theory
- all matter is made up up tiny particles
- particles of a pure substance are identical
- particles are in constance movement
- particles at high temperature move faster and particles are a low temperature move slower
- particles attract each other
define change of state
is the change of a substance from one physical from to another
what are the three states of matter
liquid, solide, gas
solids
-have a definite volume and shape
- does not take the shape of a container
- particles are held tighter, held tightly together, and vibrate slowly
liquids
- have a definite volume but no definite shape
- does take the shape of an container
- particles are farther apart, held together loosely, and move freely
gases
-have no definite volume or shape
- does take the shape of a container
-particles are far apart, not held together, are free
when a substance change from one state to another energy is
lost or gained
energy gained =
energy lost =
speed up (higher temp)
slowed down (lower temp)
liquefaction
solid to liquid
(temperature increases)
solidification
liquid to solid
temperature decreases
evaporation
liquid to gas
temperature increases
condensation
gas to liquid
sublimation
gas to solid
temperature decrease
solid to gas
energy is added temperature increases
examples of an element
oxygene, gold, Cooper mercury
examples of a compound
salt, alcohol, sugar, chalk
what are the six possible kinds of mixtures
mixture of gases
mixture of liquids
mixture of solids
mixture of gases in a liquid
mixture of solids in a liquid
mixture of solids and gases
atoms link together to make
molecules
are there more compounds or elements
compounds
the solute in a solution can be
any state of matter
in solution of liquids and soil or liquid as gas which is always the solute
liquids
an example of a solution
sugar water
solute and solvent
solute = usually the things the dissolves (ex. sugar)
solvent = is usually a liquid (ex. water)
solute dissolves/ disappears in the solvent
when is a mixture consider a solution
if the solute dissolves and spreads out evenly
