Matter And Mixture Flashcards
Matter
Anything that occupies space and has mass.
Mass
Is the amount of matter in an object.
3 States of Matter
Solids
Liquids
Gases
Water
Solid as Ice
Liquid as water
Gas
Properties of Solids
- Solids have a definite shape
- Solids have a definite volume
- Solids cannot be compressed
- Solids cannot flow
Properties of Liquid
- Liquid have no definite shape
- Liquid have a definite volume
- Liquid cannot be compressed
- Liquid can flow
Gases
- Gases have no definite shape
- Gases have no definite volume
- Gases can be compressed
- Gases can flow
Heat energy
In order for a substance to change state (from a solid to a liquid, or liquid to a gas) it needs heat energy.
Latent heat
As a substance change state, it uses latent. There is no change to temperature, but the state of material changes.
Melting point
The melting point of a liquid is when both the solid and liquid state exist together (changing from a solid to a liquid).
Boiling point
The boiling point of a liquid is when evaporation begins to happen throughout the liquid (changing from liquid to a gas).
Condensation
Condensation is the changing of a gas to a liquid.
Diffusion
Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration e.g. spray perfume in one corner of the room, and it spreads to the rest of the room.
Plasma
Plasma is the fourth state of matter.
Mixture
A mixture consists of two or more substance mingled together but not chemically combined e.g. sand and water.
