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
Solid,liquid.gases
Properties of a solid
- Solids have a definite shape
- Solids have a definite volume
3.solids cannot be compressed
4.solids cannot flow
Properties of liquids
1.liquids have no definite shape
2.liquids have a definite volume
3.liquids cannot be compressed
4. Liquids can flow
Gases
Gases have no definite shape
Gases have no definite volume
Gases can be compressed
Gases can flow
Energy
In Order for a substance to change
(rom a solid to a liquid, or
Pal to à pas) it needs heat eneray
substance changes state it
atent heat. There is no change
to temperature, but the state of the material changes
The melting point
Is when both the solid and liquid state exist together (changing from a solid to a liquid).
The 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 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
Fourth state of matter plasma
Plasma is the fourth state of mattermlike gas,but can conduct ⚡️
Physical change
No change in particles just the particle arrangement and energy , easy to reverse e.g burning a match
Chemical change
A chemical change reaction takes place and a new substance is formed, very difficult to reverse e.g burning a match
Chemical reaction
The atoms rearrange to form a new substance. Might be seen by colour change, temperature, change light being emitted or bubbles
