democritus and leucipus

leucipus is the teacher*

30
Q

greek word meaning indivisible

Q

void where particles move

32
Q

democritus’ idea matter is made up of indivisible particles and have space between them

A

discontinuous

33
Q

aristotle’s idea of matter indefinitely divisible into smaller pieces and there ae no empty space between particles

A

continuous

34
Q

atleast 2

name the principles of particle nature

Q

explains that all particles are in constant motion

A

kinetic molecular theory of matter

36

developed a theory to explain why elements in a compund always join in the same way

A

john dalton

41
Q

all matter are made up are made up of atoms that cannot be divided

A

dalton’s theory

42
Q

more temperature means

A

more kinetic energy

discovered by sir willim crookes in 1879 via ionization

48
Q

adds energy to gas so that electrons leave the atoms

A

ionization

49
Q

mix of + and - electrons

50
Q

what is this?

has a fixed shape and a fixed volume.
cannot be compressed.
s have a high density.
4) Force of attraction between the particles is very strong.
5) The space between the particles is negligible.

51
Q

has a fixed volume but no fixed shape.
can be slightly compressed. large pressure is required to compress them.
have lesser densities than solids.
Intermolecular forces of attraction is weaker than solids.
They have considerable space between the particles.

52
Q

have neither a fixed shape nor a fixed volume.
can be compressed easily
have the least density among the three.
Intermolecular forces of attraction are weakest.
The space between the gas particles is large.
