Matter Flashcards
What is density
It is the amount of mass in a volume
What are the common units for density
G/cm to the power 3
Kg/cm to the power 3
How do you calculate density
Density= mass/volume
How do you calculate mass
Mass= volume*density
How do you calculate volume
Volume=mass/density
What is brownian motion
Brownian motion is when particles collide with fluids(liquids or gasses) which send them in a random direction
What is a fluid
A liquid or a gas
Describe the arrangement of particles in a solid
Very close together, high density
Describe the movement of the particles in a liquid
Close together, high density
Describe the movement of the particles in a gas
Far apart, low density
Describe the movement of the particles in a solid
Vibrate in a fixed position
Describe the movement of the particles in a liquid
Move fairly quickly around each other
Describe the movement of the particles in a gas
Move quickly in random directions
Describe the forces between the particles in a solid
Very Strong forces, attract particles
Describe the forces between the particles in a liquid
Strong forces
Describe the forces between the particles in a gas
Weak forces
What is a physical change
It is a change in which the substances’ properties change but no knew substance is formed
What is a chemical change
It is a change in which a new substance has been formed because chemical bonds are broken and new ones formed
What is the state change called when a substance goes from a solid to a liquid
Melting
What is the state change called when a substance goes from a liquid to a solid
Freezing
What is the state change called when a substance goes from a liquid to a gas
Evapouration
What is the state change called when a substance goes from a gas to a liquid
Condensation
What is the state change called when a substance goes from a solid to a gas
Sublimation
What is conduction
Conduction Is a type of heat transfer where heat energy is transferred to neighbouring particles
