States Of Matter and separating mixtures Flashcards
Matter.
Anything that takes up space and has a mass.
Mass.
The measure of the amount of matter in an object.
States of matter
The from that matter exists in ( solid, liquid or gas )
Solid
Cannot flow, fixed shape
Liquid
Can flow, can change shape
Gas
Partials are very far apart, do not have a fixed volume, can be compressed into a can.
Particles
Small parts that make up everything
Particle theory
The belief of everything is made up of very small particles
Viscosity
the flow rate of a liquid
Diffusion
the spreading out of particles to fill the space that they are in
Melting
Solid into a liquid
Boiling
Liquid to a gas
Physical change
No new substance is formed, there is no change in mass and the reraction can be easily reversed
Melting point
The temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid, melting point of ice is 0OC
Freezing
The temperature at which a liquid changes to a solid
