science t-2 β Flashcards
what are the states of matter
solid, liquid,gas
what is matter
anything that has mass and takes up space
packing of liquids
packed together closely but can slide past each other
packing of solids
packed closely together in a fixed shape
packing of gas
lots of space between particles, move very quickly
solid to gas
sublimation
liquid to gas
evaporation
gas to liquid
condensing
solid to liquid
melting
liquid to solid
solidifying (if water freezing)
gas to solid
deposition
how do the states of matter change from one to an other
by gaining and losing heat energy
what happens when solid particles are cooled
they vibrate less and take up less room
what holds solid particles close together
strong forces called bonds
what two states of matter cannot be compressed
solid and liquid
what do particles in states of matter do when temperature changes
they expand when heated and contract when cooled
do gas particles fill their container completely
yes
for what state of matter do particles move very fast in all directions
gas
what is all matter made up of
atoms
what is an atom
the smallest particle of matter that can exist they are the building blocks of matter
what is the atomic number
number of protons
what is the number of protons
number of electrons
what is the charge of protons
positive
what is the charge of neutrons
no charge
what is the charge of electrons
negative
how many electrons can the first shell hold
2
how many electrons can the 2 and 3rd shells hold
8
what is the outermost shell
valence
What do atoms like to have
a full outer shell of electrons
what does a full outer shell of electrons do
increase the atoms stability
what must atoms undergo in order to lose or gain electrons
a chemical reaction
what is an ion
formed when atoms gain or lose electrons, the are electrically charged and in a group
what is an element
a substance that is made up of only 1 type of atom
what does the first letter of a element symbol have to have
a capital letter
what is a reactant
chemicals reacting together
what is a product
chemicals producing by the reaction
where are the reactants
on the left
where are the products
on the right
what can matter not do in a chemical reaction
it cannot be created or destroyed
What happens in a chemical reaction
- no new atoms are made
- no atoms are destroyed
3.no mass is lost
4.no elements are changed
