Module 1 :Chemistry in Everyday Life Flashcards
anything occupies space and has mass
matter
part of phases of matter
solid
liquid
gas
plasma
bose einstein condensates
state of matter with a defined appearance. It has its own shape, and has very little to no molecular movement. This is the state of matter with a very rigid molecular structure. An example is diamond.
Solid
the state of matter with molecular movement. Its movement is dictated by how fast the liquid flows. It has no shape of its own due to its loose molecular structure. Instead, it takes the shape of its container. An example is a glass of lemon juice.
Liquid
state of matter with high molecular movement. Its molecular structure is looser than liquid. It behaves the same way as a liquid. An example is the air we breathe.
Gas
formed when particles are cooled to near. Absolute zero
bose einstein condensates
state of matter with a very high molecular movement. Due to heat, a gas becomes plasma due to the energy it absorbs and releases, making its molecules move even faster. High temperature plasmas glow a certain color. An example is the neon light fixture seen in restaurants.
Plasma
matter happens when heat is introduced. Heat allows molecules to absorb energy, thereby increasing its energy levels. Increasing energy means movement among particles. Removing heat causes the molecules to lose energy, compacting together.
Phase transitions
liquid to gas
vaporization
solid to liquid
melting
gas to plasma
ionization
plasma to gas
deionizartion
gas to liquid
condensation
liquid to solid
freezing
solid to gas
sublimation
gas to solid
deposition
process of adding heat to a solid, causing its form to become a liquid
melting
process of adding heat to a liquid, causing its loose molecular bonds to break further, turning into a gas
evaporation
process of adding heat to a gas, adding energy to it, charging the molecules into ions
ionization
process of removing heat in a plasma, returning the ions to a ground state, becoming a gas. Sometimes called deionization.
recombination
process of transferring energy in gas molecules to the surrounding area, forcing the gas molecules to form bonds and coalesce into a liquid
Condensation
process of transferring heat in liquids to the surrounding area, forcing the molecules to reform and bond into a solid
freezing
process of adding energy to a solid, dissipating into a gas without transitioning to the liquid phase
sublimation
