Matter
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Solid | Definite Shape & Volume, Low Kinetic Energy, Molecular energy - vibrate only, Density - Tightly packed |
| Liquid | Non - Definite Shape, Definite Volume, Medium Kinetic Energy, Molecular energy - flow over and around each other, Density - loosely spaced apart |
| Gas | Non - Definite Shape & Volume, High Kinetic Energy, Molecular energy - move freely and quickly , Density - spaced far apart |
| Plasma | Non - Definite Shape & Volume, Very High Kinetic Energy, Molecular energy - move freely and very quickly (highly charged), Density - spaced far apart |
| Physical Changes | Occurs when matter takes a different form but No New Substance is created. |
| Chemical Changes | Occurs when atoms are rearranged and one or more new substances with different chemical properties are created. |
| Physical Changes Examples | Ice cream melting, Dissolving salt in water, Cutting your hair |
| Chemical Changes Examples | Nail rusting, Cooking an egg, Burning wood |
| Pure Substances | Cannot be separated by physical means. Example: Elements and Compounds. |
| Mixtures | Can be separated by physical means. Example: Homogenous and Heterogenous |
| Element | Contains only one type of atom. Cannot be broken down further. Na, O2 |
| Compound | Contains two or more elements chemically combined. Can only be broken down by chemical means. |
| Homogenous mixture | Uniform throughout - looks like a single substance. Ex: Salt dissolved in water. |
| Heterogenous mixture | Non uniform distribution - different particles can be easily distinguished. Ex: Chocolate chip cookie. |
| Kinetic Molecular Theory | Matter is made up of atoms and molecules that are in constant motion. As temperature increases - the molecular motion increases. |
