MATTER/CHEMICAL CHANGES IN MATTER Flashcards
What is matter
Has mass/Takes up space (Volume)
what are mixtures classified as
Homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures
Heterogenous
2 or more phases
Homogeneous/solutions
have one phase
Mixtures contain 2 or more…….
Pure substances which can be separated through physical changes
Pure substances are classified as
Elements and Compounds
Pure substance…
have one phase
Elements are represented by symbols
for Carbon(C) for Oxygen(O) occurs as 02
Elements made of..
atoms which cannot be broken down
Compounds represented by formulas
for salt(NaCl) for water(H20)
Compounds are made of molecules which…..
cam be broken down into atoms through chemical changes
what is HOFBrLNCl
All these elements are diatomic. Two atoms combine naturally
Chemical Changes in matter are written as…
equations which show reactants changing into products
Chemical changes in matter examples
rust occurs when iron reacts with oxygen
Chemical changes in matter are indicated by
Heat/Light, Precipitate, colour change different to reverse and gas formed.
