flammable
|
easily ignited, burns rapidly
|
|
chemical changes
|
occur when atoms of different substances break apart and combine in different ways
|
|
nuclear changes
|
occurs when an atoms nucleus emits or absorbs a nuclear particle or ray. splitting the nucleus into smaller nuclei is also a nuclear change |
|
physical properties
|
anything about a substance we can observe or measure without changing its chemical composition
|
|
physical changes
|
change in the arrangement of the matter of a material or object |
|
chemical properties
|
those which/how change when in contact with other substances
|
|
chemical changes |
atoms of different substances break apart and combine in different ways |
|
the law of conservation of matter |
[under normal circumstances] |
|
melting
|
the temperature at which a pure solid turns into its liquid |
|
freezing
|
temperature at which a liquid goes to a solid
|
|
vaporization |
process where either a solid or a liquid changes directly into a gas |
|
rate of vaporization |
[temperature [pressure |
|
vapor pressure |
molecules speed up with the increased temperature causing pressure to build |
|
boiling |
rapid vaporization that occurs when a liquids vapor pressure exceeds atmospheric pressure and the static pressure in the liquid, causing it to form vapor bubbles
|
|
evaporation
|
when a liquid is in between its melting and boiling point
|
|
sublimation |
when a solid seems to evaporate
|
|
condensation |
opposite of vaporization vapor ~ = liquid |
|
deposition
|
opposite of sublimation vapor > solid |
|
boiling occurs
|
>at boiling point temperature >throughout the liquid |
|
evaporation occurs
|
>at any temp between the melting and boiling points >only at the liquids surface |
