Q

what are the two distinct characteristics of colloid?

A

brownian movement and tyndall effect

17
Q

what is brownian movement

A

particles are large enough to affect each other

18
Q

what is tyndall effect

A

scattering of light

19
Q

what is solution

A

mixture of solvent and solute

20
Q

what is solvent

A

has larger amounts in the mixture and is the one that dissolves

21
Q

what is solute

A

has smaller amounts in the mixture and is the one that is being dissolved

22
Q

what is kinetic molecular theory

A

motion/movement of particles present in a specific kind of matter

23
Q

relationship between kinetic energy and temperature

A

they are directly propoportionate; if K.E increases, temperature increases

24
Q

what are the 5 states of matter

A

B.E.C, solid, liquid, gas, plasma

25
Q

what is B.E.C

A

Bose-Einstein Condensate; phase of matter at coldest temperatures; nearly no motion

26
Q

what is solid

A

has definite volume and shape; particles are in fixed motion; molecules are jiggling

27
Q

what is liquid

A

definite volume but indefinite shape; particles are close together but not fixed position; some motion; has little more energy that allows them to flow

28
Q

what is gas

A

no definite volume or shape; particles have great distance; lots of motion

29
Q

what is plasma

A

ionized gas; has positive and negative charge; ionized phase of matter found in the sun

30
Q

what are the two kinds of solids

A

crystalline and amorphous

31
Q

what is crystalline solid

A

arranged in repeating geometric patterns

32
Q

what is amorphous solid

A

particles aren’t arranged; flexible solids
