Matter And Mixtures 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:ice
Liquid:water
Gas:steam
Properties of solids
1.solids have a definite shape
2.solids have a definite volume
3.solids can’t be compressed
Properties of liquid
1.Liquid have no definite shape
2.liquids have a definite volume
3.liquids can’t be compressed
4.liquids can flow
Gases
1.gases have no definite shape
2.gases have no definite volume
3.gases can be compressed
4.gases can flow
Energy
In order for a substance to change state (from a solid to a liquid,or liquid to gas)it needs heat energy
As a substance changes state,it uses latent heat.there is no change to temperature,but the state of the material changes
Melting point
Is when the solid and liquid state exist together (changing from a solid to a liquid)
Boiling point
Of a liquid is when evaporation begins to happen throughout the liquid(changing from a liquid to a gas
Condensation
Is the changing of a gas to a liquid
Diffusion
Is the movement of particles from a 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
Fourth state of matter
Plasma is the fourth state of matter,like gas but can conduct electricity
Physical change
No change in particles,just the particle arrangement and energy,easy to reverse e.g. mixing water and salt
Chemical change
A chemical reaction takes
place and a new substance is formed, very
difficult to reverse e.g. burning a match
