Diffusion
Diffusion is the random movement of one gas through another form of high concentration
What are the characteristics of Solids
-strong force of attraction (can vibrate), held close together (fixed), definite shape and volume
Liquids
Weak force of attraction (compact), free to move, shape can change (flows to fit in container)
Gas
weak force of attraction, free to move, constantly moving, does not keep fixed shape
Gas pressure
when in heat expands as particles retrieve more energy, when particles cool down they dont have enough energy to move around.
Expansion in gasses
Gas pressure, gas (expands better than solids & liquids) expands on heating and contracts on cooling, as the space between the molecules increases.
Whats Conduction?
transferring kinetic energy to one another through collisions.
Whats Convection?
Convection - occurs when hot air rises, allows cooler air to come in
Whats Radiation?
Radiation is energy that moves from one place to another in a form called particles
whats a element
pure substances, contains identical atoms or molecules w/ only 1 type of atomic core
Whats a compund
pure substance, contains identical molecules w/ 2 or more types of atomic cores.
whats a mixture
a material which has two or more types of molecules
what a molecule
used to describe any atoms that are connected by chemical bonds
how to do tell the difference between convection and conduction
the d in conduction stands for direct contanct
how do you write the aim
To (verb) how (independent variable) impacts the (dependent variable)
