matter and material Flashcards
give 4 characteristics of solids
- arranged in regular pattern touching each other
- attract each other with strong forces
- dont change places
- vibrate constantly
properties of solids
- keep shape unless broken
- cannot be compressed
- they are strong
- cannot pass through without breaking them
4 characteristics of liquids
- arranged randomly
- spaces between particles larger than solid
- move in different directions
- forces holding them together arenβt as strong as solids
properties of liquids
- they flow
- take up shape of container theyβre in
- cannot be compressed
4 characteristics of gases
- particles spread out
- move in different directions
- not arranged in any pattern
- forces holding particles weak and can be ignored
properties of gases
- they flow
- can be compressed
- spread out and fill a container
What is plasma?
collection of charged particles that have special characteristics
examples of plasma
fluorescent lights, lightening and stars
how do you change material into plasma?
extremely high temperatures required
Sublimation
A change directly from the solid to the gaseous state without becoming liquid
gas changes into a liquid in a process called
condensation
element with the lowest melting point
helium
element with highest melting point
carbon
gas changes into a solid
deposition
smallest particles of matter
atoms
name 4 things found in an atom
- nucleus
- protons
- neutrons
- electrons
How do diatomic molecules form?

Father of the periodic table
Demetri Mendeleev
How did Mendeleev organize his periodic table?
in terms of the families of the known elements which displayed similar problems
when did mendeleev win the nobel prize?
1905
who did major differences to the periodic table?
Glenn seaborg
What did Glenn Seaborg do?
discovered elements 94-102
when was Seaborg awarded the nobel prize?
1951
what is element 106βs name and why is it so?
seaborgium (Sg) named in glenn seaborgβs honor
Transitional Metals
groups 3-12 large horizontal group between metals and non metals
how many groups and periods are there?
18 groups and 7 periods
what are the groupβs names?
group 1: alkaline metals
group 2: alkaline earth metals
group 17: halogens
group 18: noble gases
what will you find in each block of an element?
- atomic mass
- symbol
- atomic number
calculate neutrons
atomic mass - atomic number
element
A substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances- pure
pure substances
- elements and compounds
- canβt be broken down into anything simpler
- compounds consist of atoms of two or more different elements bound together and can be broken down into elements by chemical means but not physically. properties of compounds are different from component elements. they always contain same ration of its component atoms
compound
- A pure substance made of two or more elements chemically combined
- can be broken down into simpler substances
- when they form energy is released in the form of light and heat
mixture
A combination of two or more substances that are not chemically combined
heterogeneous
more than one mixture can be seen
homogenous
only one phase can be seen
name 7 separating mixtures
- by hand
- filteration
- distillation
- chromatography
- spectating funnel
- evaporation
- magnetism
- electrolysis
distillation
A process that separates the substances in a solution based on their boiling points alcohol and water
chromatography
ink
magnetism
iron filing and sulphur powder
what are the 4 phases of matter?
solid, liquid, gas, plasma
what is the theory in which particles move?
the kinetic theory of matter
what does the particle model of matter state (5)
- all matter is made up of particles
- particles are too small to see even with the strongest microscope
- there are empty spaces between particles
- particles are constantly moving. spontaneously on their own
- forces of repulsion and attraction between particles
