Question | Answer |
---|---|
Matter | Anything that has mass and takes up space (volume) |
Atoms | Building blocks of matter |
Examples of matter | table, air, door, water |
NOT matter | heat, light, sound |
3 states of matter | solid, liquid, gas |
Gas | -atoms move very fast and spread out in all directions, takes the shape of a container, least dense, found at warmer temperatures |
Solid | -definite shape and volume, most dense, found at colder temperatures |
Liquid | -atoms flow over one another and stay near to each other, definite/fixed volume, takes the shape of the container it is in |
States of matter from most dense to least dense | solid - liquid - gas |
Define definite / fixed volume | matter stays the same size, takes up the same space no matter what container you put it in |
What is needed to change the state of matter? | a change in temperature |
The change of a liquid to a solid | freezing |
The change of a solid to a gas | sublimation |
The change of a gas to a liquid | condensation |
The change of a liquid to a gas | evaporation |
The change of a solid to a liquid | melting |
The change of gas to solid | deposition |
Which phase changes require heat to be absorbed (warmed up)? | sublimation, melting, evaporation |
Which phase changes require heat to be removed (cooled down)? | freezing, condensation, deposition |
During which phase change do atoms move slower and closer together? | freezing, condensation, deposition |
During which phase change do atoms move faster and farther apart? | sublimation, melting, evaporation |
Describe a physical change. | no change in matter or composition, same matter as was there at the start, only appearance changes |
Describe a chemical change. | matter or composition change into something new, hard or impossible to reverse, has ability to react |
Examples of physical change | bending, breaking, dissolving, melting |
Examples chemical change/properties | reactivity, flammable, oxidation, rustable, combustible |
What is a chemical reaction? | chemical change, atoms rearrange themselves |
When two atoms collide, they ______ with one another | react |
Define Reactants | A starting matter in a chemical reaction (what you mix together) |
Define Products | matter produced or created by a chemical reaction. |
What are indicators of a chemical reaction? | gas formed(bubbles), color change, solid formed (precipitate), temperature change |
What is a precipitate? | A solid that forms from two liquids during a chemical reaction. |
What does Exothermic mean? | Releases heat, increases temperature |
What does Endothermic mean? | Absorbs heat, decreases temperature |
How can you increase a reactions speed? | increase temperature, stir/mix, crush it up, increase amount or concentration |
What does "conservation of matter" mean? | matter cannot be created or destroyed (always stays the same) |
