Sci- matter Flashcards
what is matter
anything that has mass and takes up space
how are the states of matter packed
- solid: closely in a fixed shape
- Liquid: closely but can slide past one another
- Gas: lots of space between particles
what is a solid to a gas
sublimation
what is a gas to a solid
deposition
how do the states of matter change
by gaining or losing heat energy
what is a atom
smallest particle of matter that can exsist
what is the atomic number
number of protons
(small number at the top)
what is the number of protons
number of electrons
What is the number of neutrons
mass number (small number down the bottom) - the atomic number (small number at the top)
how many atoms can the shells hold
first shell (max 2 atoms)
2,3, and 4th can hold max of 8
what is an ion
formed when atoms gain or lose electrons, they are electrically charged and in a group
what is the word equation for combustion
fuel+oxygenββ>carbon+water+energy dioxide
what is the word equation for complete combustion
hydrocarbon+oxygenββ> carbon+water dioxide
what is the word eqaution for incomplete combustion- stage 1
hydrocarbon+oxygenβ-> carbon+water monoxide
What is the word equation for imcomplete combustion- stage 2
hydrocarbon+oxygenβ-> carbon+water
