Section 1 - Particles & Mixtures Flashcards
Three characteristics of solids
- strong force of attraction between particles
- regular lattice arrangement
- keep a define shape and volume
Three characteristics of liquids
- weak force of attraction between particles
- stick closely together + randomly arranged
- dont keep a define shape
Three characteristics of gases
- very weak force of attraction
- free to move and in straight lines
- the hotter the gas gets the faster they move
solid into liquid
melting
- particles have enough energy to break from their positions
experiments to demonstrate diffusion and particle theory
- Potassium Maganate and water
- Ammonia and hydrogen chloride
- Bromine Gas and Air
Ammonia and hydrogen chloride experiment
- glass tube
- cotton wool soaked in aqueous ammonia
- ring of ammonium chloride
- cotton wool soaked in hydrochloric acid
definition of isotopes
different atomic forms of the same element with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons
definition of filtration
used to separate and insoluble solid from a liquid
definition of crystallisation
separates soluble solids from a solution
definition of simple distillation
used to separate solutions
definition of fractional distillation
used to separate a mixture of liquids
