Science Flashcards
Small particles, building blocks of matter
Atoms
Physical properties that depend on size, vary depending on how much matter is in a sample
Size Dependent
Do not depend on the amount of matter present, same for both small and large sample
Size Independent
Mass per unit volume of a substance, size independent
Density
Anything that has mass and takes up space
Matter
Solution
Homogeneous mixture, substance present in the largest amount is called the solvent, samples will have the same amount of each substance
Matter that can vary in composition, combinations of two or more substances that are physically blended together, can be separated by physical methods
Mixture
Substance containing atoms of two or more different elements chemically bonded together.
Compound
Physical properties
Characteristics of matter that you can observe or measure without changing the identity of matter.
State of matter, size dependent and size independent
Characteristics of matter that can be observed as it changes to a different type of matter
Chemical properties
Change in size, shape, form or state in which the matters identity stays the same
Physical change
Chemical change
Change in matter which substances that make up the matter and change into new substances with new physical and chemical properties
Chemical reaction
Often called chemical changes
If particles collide with enough force, bonded atoms can break apart
When they rearrange and bond, new substances can be formed
Amount of substance in a volume
Concentration
Substances that are evenly mixed, known as a solution
Homogeneous mixture
Heterogeneous mixture
Not evenly mixed. Samples not the same
Factors that affect size of a reaction
Temperature (higher=faster) Concentration (higher=faster) Surface area (more=faster)
Matter with a definite volume but not definite shape
Liquids
Solids
Definite matter and shape, strong attractive forces.
Crystalline- repeating order
Morphis- Random
No definite shape or volume, particles are far apart and move freely, weak attractive forces
Gases
High energy matter consigns of positive, negative charged particles
Most common state of matter in space
Plasma
Uneven forces acting on the particles on surface of a liquid
Surface tension
Condensation
Gas->Liquid
Gas loses thermal energy
Gas-> Liquid, skips the solid stage
Thermal energy removed
Deposition
Sublimation
Solid-> gas
Skipping liquid stage
Solid to liquid
Melting
Liquid to solid
Freezing
Liquid to gas
Boiling
Liquid surface to gas
Evaporation
How do energy particle change state of matter?
When energy is added, it means particles are moving faster (warmer), or there is more kinetic energy
How does a dense ship float on water?
It is filled with gas
