Matter Flashcards
atoms are alike and cannot be separated
element
2 or more different elements
compound
2 or more substances that can easily separated by physical means
mixture
mixture of different and easily distiguishable materails
heterogeneous mixture
mixture of 2 or more gaseous liquids, or solids substances blended easily also called a solution
homogeneous
anything that has mass and takes up space
matter
matter that is either an element of a compound
pure substance
mixture with larger particles that never settle scatter light in the tyndall effect
colliod
mixture in which visible particles settle
suspension
mixture of 2 or more materials dissolved evenly
solution
item that gets disolved
solute
item that does the dissolving
solvent
an explanation of how particles in matter behave
Kinetic Theory
temperature at which a solid begins to liquify
melting point
amount of energy required to change a substance from the solid phase to the liquid phase at its melting point
heat of fusion
the liquid temperature at which the pressure of the vapor in the liquid is equal to the external pressure acting on the surface.
boiling point
amount of energy required for the liquid at its boiling point to become a gas
heat of vaporaization
is the spreading of particles throughout a given volume until they are uniformly distributed
diffusion
matter consisting of negative and positive charged particles
plasma
increase in size of a substance when the temperature is increased
thermal expansion
