Science Chemistry Test Flashcards
What are the six ideas of particle theory?
Temperature, Constant motion, Space, Uniqueness, Composition, Attraction
What is the “temperature” idea in particle theory?
hotter environment, particles move faster
cooler environment, particles slow down
What is the “constant motion” idea in particle theory?
Particles are always moving, even solids
What is the “space” idea in particle theory
there is space between the particles
What is the “uniqueness” idea in particle theory?
Particles of one type of matter are different from those of another type of matter
What is the “composition” idea in particle theory?
All matter is composed of particles
What is the “attraction” idea in particle theory?
All particles are attracted to each other
What is a mixture?
two or more pure substances mixed together
What is a homogeneous mixture?
A mixture which the substances are not distinguishable from each other
What is a heterogeneous mixture?
A mixture where the substances are distinguishable from each other
What are some physical properties?
lustre, malleability, colour, ductility, does light go through (transparent, translucent, opaque), change of states points (eg. boiling, freezing…), hardness (Moh’s hardness scale), density, conductivity
What does opaque mean?
no light can go through
What does translucent mean?
some light can go through (blurry)
What does transparent mean?
most light can go through
What is matter?
Anything that has mass and volume
