States of matter Flashcards
Solid properties
strong forces fixed positions lattice arrangement not a lot of energy only vibrate
why do solids expand when heated?
the particles are vibrating more
liquid properties
some force of attraction free to move but stay together don’t keep definite shape have same volume more energy
why do liquids expand when heated?
the particles move faster
gas properties
no force of attraction
free to move
collisions
more energy
what happens when a gas is heated?
expand or pressure increases because particles are moving faster with more energy
what is subliming?
when a solid changes straight to a gas
what happens during chemical reactions?
bonds between atoms break and change places
what can you use to measure melting point?
melting point apparatus
water bath
thermometer
what is simple distillation used for?
separating a liquid from a solution
what is the problem with simple distillation?
it only separates things that have different boiling points
what does fractional distillation do?
Separate a mixture of liquids
what is filtration used for?
separating an insoluble solid from a liquid
what does crystallisation do?
separates a soluble solid from a solution
what is chromatography used for?
separating a mixture of soluble solutions
