Define matter |
Anything that occupies space and has a mass. Composed of atoms, chemical substances that cannot be broken down. |
|
Define states of matter |
*Gas *Liquid *Solid |
|
What affects the states of matter? |
The state of the matter is affected by temperature, the rate at which atoms are moving and the space between atoms in matter. |
|
What happens in volume pressure relationships where there is smaller space? |
Greater pressure by liquid/gas |
|
What happens in volume pressure relationships where there is larger space? |
Larger pressure by liquid/gas |
|
What is the inverse relationship equation? |
Pressure (P) = 1 / volume (V) |
|
Define atom |
Simplest particles of matter |
|
Define proton |
Positively charged particles |
|
Define electron |
Negatively charged particles |
|
Define neutrons |
Neutral particles (no charge) |

|
Define molecule |
Two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds. |
|
Define compounds |
Two or more atoms in a molecule are of different elements. |
|
Define ions |
Charged particles that form when elements gain or lose electrons. |
|
Define covalent bonds |
Elements share electrons pairs between atoms. |
|
Define ionic bonds |
Elements gain/lose electrons to/from other electrons. |
|
Define solution |
A homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances. |
|
Define solutes |
Substances present in smaller amounts within a mixture. |
|
Define solvent |
The substance present in the greatest amount in a mixture. |
|
Define colloid |
Substances are medium sized, easily transform between liquid and solid state. |
|
Define suspension |
Solutes are large, solutes are suspended in a mixture, solutes settle out. |
|
Define concentration |
Refers to the amount of solutes within a solvent. |
|
Define anabolic reaction |
Occur when bonds are formed, resulting in the absorption of energy. |
|
Define catabolic reaction |
Occur when bonds are broken, resulting in the release of energy. |
|
Define rearrangements |
Occur when bonds are rearranged between molecules. This type of reaction results in no net change in energy as bonds are both broken and formed. |
|
Define energy |
The capacity to do work, or to put matter into motion. |
|
Define kinetic energy |
Energy in action, causing movement. |
|
Define potential energy |
Stored or inactive, energy that has potential to create movement, but is not currently doing so. |
|
Define chemical energy |
Energy stored in chemical bonds when chemical reactions occur to break bonds, the energy is realised, while the formation of chemical bonds to energy storage. |
|
Define electrical energy |
Results from the movement of charged particles. |
|
Define mechanical energy |
Energy that directly moves matter |
|
Define radiant or electromagnetic energy |
Energy that travels in waves |
|
