Q

What is a mixture?

A
  • two or more compounds or elements NOT chemically combined
  • no reaction between substances
  • mixtures can be uniform (homogeneous) and are known as solutions
  • mixtures can also me non-uniform (heterogeneous)
  • mixtures can be separated into their components by chemical or physical means
  • the properties of a mixture are similar to the properties of its components

Q

What is a compound?

A
  • A molecule made of two or more atoms of at least two different elements chemically bound together
  • always uniform
  • compounds can’t be separated by physical means. To separate a compound requires a chemical reaction
  • the properties of a compound are usually different than the properties of the elements it contains

Q

What are elements?

A
  • a pure substance containing only one kind of atom
  • an element is always uniform all the way through (homogeneous)
  • an element cant be separated into simpler materials (except during nuclear reactions)
  • over 100 existing elements are listed and classified on the periodic table of elements

21
Q

What is a physical change?

A
  • a change of matter from one form to another without change in chemical properties
  • usually reversible (ex.melt- freeze the same substance, dissolving)
  • never changes identity of a substance
22
Q

What are examples of physical change?

A
  • cutting your hair
  • a piece of metal is bent in half
  • water freezes to form ice
  • glass breaking
23
Q

What is a chemical change?

A
  • a change that occurs when a substance changes composition by forming one or more new substances
  • a change that changes/ alters the chemical identity of a substance as a result of A NEW SUBSTANCE that have different properties
24
Q

What are examples of chemical changes?

A
  • baking soda reacts with vinegar and forms a gas
  • copper turns green when exposed to the environment
  • a tree burns to form ashes
  • a piece of apple rots on the ground
25
Q

What are the 5 clues that a chemical change has occurred?

A
  1. Colour change
  2. Precipitate (solid formation)
  3. Gas (bubbles, fizzing is produced)
  4. Heat, light is given off
  5. Irriversable
26
Q

What are the 5 points of the particle theory of matter?

A
  1. All matter is made of particles
  2. Different substances are made of different types of particles
  3. Particles are in constant motion
  4. The higher the temperature, the faster the particles move
  5. Particles are attracted to each other
