Matter: Property && Chnages Flashcards
The study of matter and the changes it undergoes
Chemistry
What are the four stages of matter?
Solid, liquid, gas, & plasma
- particles cannot move around freely
- fixed shape
- fixed volume
- incomprehensible
Solid
- particles can move around freely, but not too much
- variable shape (shape of container)
- fixed volume
- virtually incomprehensible
Liquid
- particles move around freely
- variable shape
- variable volume
- easily compressed
Gas
Gaseous state of a substance that is a liquid or solid at room temperature
Vapor
- particles collide with enough energy to break into charged particles (+,-)
- variable shape
- variable volume
- found in starts and fluorescent light bulbs
Plasma
Can be observed without changing the pice tiny of the substance
Physical property
Physical property that depends on the amount of matter present (length)
Extensive property
Physical property that depends one the identity of substance, no the amount (density)
Intensive property
Describes the ability of a substance to undergo changes im identity
