Q

particle theory

A
  1. all matter is made up of extremely tiny particles
  2. each pure substance has its own kind of particle, different from the particles of other substances
  3. particles attract each other
  4. particles are always moving, they have energy
  5. particles at higher temperature move faster than particles at a lower temperature
    the faster it moves attraction forces decrease

Q

physical changes

A
  • change in which NO NEW SUBSTANCE is produced
  • only state or form is changed
  • atoms and molecules do not change
  • usually reversible
    1. all changes of state (i.e., melting, condensation etc.)
    2. dissolving
    3. cutting, tearing or crushing a substance

Q

chemical changes

A
  • change in which a NEW SUBSTANCE is produced
  • atoms and molecules change
  • usually irreversible (difficult to return to original state)
    1. burning/combustion
    2. corrosion
    3. cooking
    4. rotting
    5. reaction with acid

17
Q

mixture

A
contains 2 or more substances mixed together
HETEROGENEOUS - different parts
1. mechanical mixture
2. suspension
3. colloid

HOMOGENEOUS - all looks the same

18
Q

homogeneous

A

a solution that lookes like one phase
(salt in water)
SOLUTE - gets dissolves
SOLVENT - does the dissolving

19
Q

heterogeneous

A

more than one phase can be seen

salt and pepper

20
Q

mechanical mixture

A

2 or more phases are visible

sand in water, oil in water

21
Q

suspension

A

looks like a “one phased mixture”, but overtime, solid particles will settle out
(ketchup, anything that has to be shaken or stirred before use)

we can force a suspension to stay mixed by adding an emulsifier:
an emulsion is a mixture that over time does not separate or settle out
(mayonnaise = emulsion)
(egg yolk = emulsifier)

22
Q

colloid

A
looks like a "one phased mixture" but suspended particles do not settle
(whipped cream - gas in a liquid)
(smoke - solid in a gas)
(marshmallows - gas in solid)
(milk - liquid fat in liquid)

how to distinguish from homogeneous mixture?
if light or laser is shone through the particles, the light will reflect off the particles and is scattered

23
Q

atom

A

a single building block of matter

24
Q

molecule

A

2 or more atoms liked or joined together

25
element
made up of only 1 type of atom (atoms are all the same)
26
compound
made up of different types of atoms
27
changes of state that requires removal of heat
solidifying, condensation, sublimation
28
changes of state that require the addition of heat
melting, evaporation, sublimation
29
difference between boiling and evaporating
BOILING adding heat and at a particular point the liquid will turn into a gas EVAPORATION can evaporate at ant temperature

G. R. A. S. S
Given - what information is given (M=50g V=5 cm3) Required - what are you looking for? (density) Application - formula (D=M/V) Solution - plug in (D=50g/5 cm3 D=10g/cm3) Statement - rewording your answer (therefore the density is equal to 10g/cm3)

qualitative physical properties
``` state (stop) colour (choosing) odour (other) taste (turtles) clarity (clearly) luster (loving) texture (the) brittleness (book) malleability (monsters) ductility (don't *have*) viscosity (vacations) form (for) solubility (salsa) conductivity (chips) ```
32
clarity
the ability for light to pass through it transparent (clear) translucent (cloudy) opaque (cannot see through)
33
luster
the ability of am object to reflect light lustrous (shiny) non-lustrous (dull)
34
brittleness
the ability of an object to break apart or shatter easily brittle (breaks easily) not brittle
35
malleability
the ability of a METAL to be hammered into a sheet or bent into different shapes malleable (bends easily) non-malleable
36
ductility
the ability of a METAL to be drawn out into long, thin wires
37
form
crystalline (has a regular shape) amorphous (has an irregular shape) powdery
38
solubility
soluble (dissolves) | insoluble
39
conductivity
the ability of a substance to conduct electricity conductor (does conduct electricity) insulator (does not conduct electricity)
40
quantitative physical properties
``` melting point boiling point mass volume density ```
41
density
density is a quality that measures mass per unit volume | g/mL, g/cm3 and Kg/m3
42
what effect does shape have on density?
there is no effect Density is an intensive property. This means that regardless of the object's shape, size, or quantity, the density of that substance will always be the same. Even if you cut the object into a million pieces, they would still each have the same density.
