Q

What is a liquid?

A

NO definite shape, definite volume, The particles can slide past each other, but are still packed together, the atoms/molecules can move and flow to fit a container.

More kinetic energy in the molecules
Ex:water

Q

What is a gas?

A

No definite shape and volume
Most kinetic energy of the molecules. The particles are in constant motion and rarely stick together, the atoms/molecules can move and flow to fit a container.

Ex:air

Q

What is a solid?

A

Definite shape and volume. The particles are in a rigid, fixed structure, the atoms/molecules DO NOT MOVE to fill a structure.

Ex:aluminum, anything solid really

Q

Define a Change of State.

A

Melting/Freezing, evaporation/condensation, when materials boil, the atoms become more disordered, when materials freeze, the atoms become more ordered, the total mass remains the same during a state of change.

Q

What is an example of Physical Change?

A

Melting butter, dissolving salt into water, ice melting, pounding gold into a coin, a puddle of water evaporating, crushing chalk into dust. (SAME THING, just in a different form, nothing new is created)

Q

Define Chemical Change.

A

A change in matter that DOES produce new materials, not “easily” reversed, can only be reversed by a chemical change, a chemical change occurs when a NEW product is formed.

Q

Heterogeneous

A

A mixture that is NOT the same throughout.

16
Q

Homogeneous

A

A mixture that is the same throughout, or is mixed so well its looks like one substance.

17
Q

The Law of Conservation of Matter

A

In any chemical reaction, atoms are not created or destroyed, they just arrange to new products.

18
Q

What does the The Law of Conservation of Matter say about physical change?

A

In a physical change, like melting ice, the total mass before melting will be equal to the total mass after melting.

19
Q

What does The Law of Conservation of Matter say about chemical change?

A

Even if paper is burned, the total mass before burning will be equal to the total mass after burning because gasses like smoke and CO2 have mass

20
Q

Signs of a Chemical Reaction:

A
> New products from with new properties
> Gas formation
>  Color Change
> Odor produced
> Solid precipitate forms
> A transfer, or release of enrgy
21
Q

Reactants are on which side of the arrow

A

Left (Chemical reaction)

22
Q

The Arrow(—>) means

A

“Yields”

23
Q

Exothermic

A

A type of (chemical) reaction that produces an increase in temperature, ex: burning paper

24
Q

Endothermic

A

A chemical reaction that absorbs heat from the surrounding environment (Ex: plastic becoming brittle after being left in the sun)

25
Q

Synthesis Formula

A

A+B=AB

26
Q

Decomposition reaction

A

AB —-> A+B

27
Q

Single Replacement Reaction

A

A+BC—-> AC +B

28
Q

Double Replacement Reaction

A

AB+CD—–> AD+CB

29
Q

Balanced Equation

A

Same number of, and types of atoms on both sides of the arrow

30
Q

Define the Synthesis Formula

A

Combining of several simple substances, to create complex substences.

31
Q

Define the Single Composition Formula

A

A “free” element can take the place of another element in a compound.

32
Q

Define the Decomposition Formula

A

Breaking down a compound into simpler substances.

33
Q

Define the Double Replacement Formula

A

Part of the first compound changes place of the other compund.
*ALWAYS TAKES PLACE BETWEEN TWO COMPOUNDS!!!!! :)

34
Q

Amen

A

Let it be so, because im done :) XD :3
