Properties of Matter
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Solids | Definite Volume and Definite Shape |
Solids | Least amount of energy compared to liquids/gases and theleast amount of parrticle motion compared to liquids/gases that move slower |
Liquids | Definite Volume and Indefinite Shape |
Liquids | Less energy than a gas and more energy than a solid;lower particle energy than a gas and more particle motion than a solid. |
Gases | Indefinite volume and indefinite shape |
Temperature | Measure of particle motion |
Higher Temperature | cause greater particle motion and move more quickly |
Isomer | molecules with the same number of atoms buy arranged into a different shape |
Water | polar molecule due to uneven sharing of electrons |
Noble Gases | least reactive elements due to full outer shell of valence electrons |
Most Reactive Elements | elements with 1 or 7 valence electrons |
Valence Electrons | electrons located in the outer shell of an atom |
Density | Mass divided by volume;remains the same no matter the size of an object |
Density/Buoyant Force Relationship | An increase in density equals an increase in buoyant force of the fluid |
Salt Water Density | more dense than freshwater because it has more solutes dissolved in the solution |
Matter | changes phases when temperature is heated or cooled but, remains the same type of matter;physical change |
Viscosity | resistance of a fluid to flow |
Carbon Dioxide | Gas cannot remain in solution when the liquid is heated or the pressure is decreased |
Physical Changes | do not cause a change in atom arrangement |
Physical Change Examples | Eating ice, Biting an apple, Freezing water, Absorbing Water Molecules |
Chemical Changes | causes rearrangement of atoms producing a new substance |
Chemical Change Examples | Combustion of Gasoline, Cooking Food, Digestion of Food, Production of Gas |
Density of Water | 1.0 gram/mililiter(1.0mL);Objects with a density greater than 1.0 g/mL sink in water while objects with a density less than 1.0g/mL float in water |
Water | Different densities in different phases, unique that it expands when freezes;ice is less dense than water, causing ice to float |
