Particles Flashcards
Whats in a matiral?
Matirals are made up of tiny particalls. You cannot see the particals. They are to small. There are about 8 400 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 particals in a glass of water.
Are all particals the same?
Many materials are mixtures. Wood is a mixture. So is milk,and air. But some materials are not mixtures. They consist of just1 substance. A substance is made of just one type of material. Substances include gold, water, and oxygen.
What gives a substance its properties?
The properties of a substance describe what it is like and how it behaves. Every sentence has its own properties. The properties of a substance depend on its particles.
How does state effects properties?
Most substances can exist in three states the state of a substance depends on the temperature at room temperature, cold is solid. But if you make it hot enough, exist as a liquid or gas.
The liquid state
What does substance is in the liquid state, particles touch the neighbours. This is why you cannot compress a liquid. Particles move from place to place leading with each of the spins by liquids flow and have no fit state.
The gas state.
Interstate particles spread out. Easy to compress a gas. The particles move throughout the whole container. This explains why gases flow
