Mattes And Mixtures Flashcards
Matter
Anything that occupies space and has mass
Mass
Is amount of matter in an object
3 states of matter
Solids liquid gases
Properties of solids
Solids have a definite shape
Solids have a definite volume
Solids cannot be compressed
Solids cannot flow
Properties of liquids
Liquids have no definite shape
Liquids have a definite volume
Liquids cannot be compressed
Liquids can flow
Gases
Gases have no definite shape
Gases have no definite volume
Gases can be compressed
Gases can flow
Heat energy
In order for a substance to change state from a solid to liquid or liquid to gas it needs heat energy
The melting point is when both the soiled and liquid
state exist together changing from a soiled to a liquid
Diffusion
It spreads a cross a room
Plasma
Plasma is the fourth state of matter like gas but can conduct electricity
Physical change
No change in particles just the particles arrangement and energy easy to reverse
Chemical change
A chemical reaction takes place and a new substance is formed very difficult to reverse
During a chemical reaction
The atoms rearrange to a form a new substance might be seen by colour change temperature change light being emitted or bubbles
Law of conservation of mass
Matter can be changed from one form to another during physical and chemical changes there is no overall change in mass
Mixture
Consists of two or more substance mingled together but not chemically combined like sand and water
