Answer 14

25 degrees Celsius

100 kPa

Question 15

Gases

Answer 15

• fill and take the shape of their container
• highly compressible (volume becomes smaller when pressure increases and vis versa)
• diffuse
• increase in volume, pressure or both when heated

Question 16

Pressure

Answer 16

• force per unit area

- units of pressure: atm, mmHg, kPa

Answer 24

“Rings” around an atom

Each level has a maximum capacity of electrons

Question 25

Isotopes

Answer 25

2 or more atoms of the same element that have a different that have a different number of neutrons and therefore a different mass
