Matter Changes Flashcards
Convection
- Transfer of thermal energy via particle movement
- boiling water. Warm, less dense water expands to top and cool dense water falls. Cycle continues until evap
Covalent bond
- strong bond. Atoms share electron pairs
-
Conduction
Thermal energy transfer via particle collision
Radiation
thermal energy transfer via elecmag waves
Most abundant elements in atmosphere
Nitrogen
Oxygen
Most abundant in Earths crust
Oxygen Silicon Alum Iron Cal
Most abundant ocean minerals
Chlorine Sodium Mag Sulfur Other Cal
Most abundant elements in Humans
Oxygen Carbon Hydrogen Nitrogen Calcium Other Phosphorus
Heterogenous Mixture
Substances are not evenly mixed eg two bowls of trail mix. One with more berries than the other
Can be separated physically
Homogenous Mixture
Aka solution
Brass is a homo bc you cannot see the copper and zinc atoms even under most microscopes
But these are still not bonded together
Solution
Solvent
Solute
All three states of matter can be either of these in a solution
Solvent
Present in large amounts
Solute
Break apart or mix evenly
Compound
The properties of a compound are different than the properties of the atoms that make it up
Two classifications of matter
Substance
Mixture
