Properties Of Matter Flashcards
What is plasma?
A “soup” of positive Nuclei surrounded by free flowing electrons , the particles have broken down and become ionized.
Ex:lightning
What is a liquid?
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
What is a gas?
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
Are liquid molecules packed together?
- more space than solid
- more space between molecules
- not packed tightly
What is a solid?
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
Are solid molecules far out?
Molecules packed close together
Are gas molecules kind-of close together?
Roam er’y where bruh, gas molecules be crazy
Define Physical Change.
A change in matter that DOES NOT produce new materials, are “easily” reversed, can be reversed by a physical change.
Define a Change of State.
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.
What is an example of Physical Change?
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)
Define Chemical Change.
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.
What are some examples of Chemical Change?
Burning paper, rusting iorn, burning gasolline, hard-boiling an egg, burning wood into charcoal, paint fading, plants using CO2 and H2O to form O2 and sugar, frying and egg, fruit rotting, baking a cake.
Define: Mixture
Two or more substances physically combined, or real close together.
Do the substances in a mixture change their properties?
No, the substances in a mixture keep their indivisual properties.
FILL IN THE BLANK:
Mixtures can be separated into____________ of the mixture by ________ changes.
Mixtures can be separated into INDIVIDUAL PARTS of the mixture by PHYSICAL changes.
