explains how particles of matter behave
|
kinetic theory
|
|
3 assumptions
|
-all matter is composed of tiny particles
-these particles are in constant random motion - these particles are colliding with each other and the walls of the container |
|
-total energy of particles both kinetic and potenital
-as temp decreases ____ decreases |
thermal energy
|
|
average kinetic energy of particles
|
temperature
|
|
-particles close together
-definate shape & volume -specific geometric arrangement - properties can be attributed to arrangement |
solids
|
|
temp at which a solid begins to liquify
|
melting point
|
|
_____ is needed for particles to change from solid to liquid
|
energy
|
|
amount of energy needed to change from solid to liquid is called
|
heat of fusion
|
|
liquid particles have more what than solid particles?
|
kinetic energy
|
|
What can particles do in a liquid?
|
slide past each other
|
|
liquids have no defintie _______ becuse they take shape of their container
|
shape
|
|
makes liquid particles have a definate volume
|
attraction
|
|
have enough energy to overcome attraction between particles ( no definate shape or volume)
|
gases
|
|
liquid particles gain enough energy to escape attractive forces and become a gas
|
vaporization
|
|
differences between boiling and evaporation
|
boiling happens throughout and evap. happens at surface
boiling occurs at a certain temp and evap occurs all the time |
|
temp at which pressure of vapor in liquid is equal to pressure on surface of liquid
|
boiling point
|
|
amount of energy needed for liquid to become a gas
|
heat of vaporization
|
|
spreading of particles throughout a given volume until uniformly distributed
|
diffusion
|
|
diffusion can occur in solid or liquid but rappidly in ____
|
gas
|
|
most common state of matter in universe that consists of positive and negative chared particles. found in lightining bolts and stars
|
plasma
|
|
increase in size of substance when temp is increasedd
|
thermal expansion
|
|
ex of expansion in liquids
|
thermometers
|
|
ex of expansion in gases
|
hot air balloons
|
|
exception of expansion in liquids is
|
water
|
|
without form,lack structure, no exact temp where phase change occurs.
example- glass and plastic |
amorphus solids
|
|
start to flow during melting phase, but do not lose arrangement completely
responsive to temp changes and electric feilds can be used to make LCD displays ex: watches clocks calulators, ect, |
liquid crystals
|
|
can't be broken down easily
compnetns maintain properties of original substance ex: elemnet, compound |
pure substance
|
|
substance with atoms that are alike
90 occutr in nature >20 are created in labs |
elements
|
|
2 or more elements combines in a fixed proportion
Ex. water |
compound
|
|
made up of two or more substances that can be seperated by physical means
-hetro or homo |
mixtures
|
|
different materials can be distinguished easily in a mixture
ex. pizza concrete |
hetrogenous
|
|
2 or more substances blended evenly throughout
-soft drink vinegar air |
homogenous
|
|
homogenous mixture of particles so small they cant be seen with a microscope and will never settle to the bottom of a container
|
solution
|
|
heterogenous mixture that never settles; particles are larger than solution particles but not heavy enough to settle
ex-paint fog |
colloid
|
|
used to tell apart a solution and a colloid
scatteting of light by colloid particles |
tyndall effect
|
|
heterogenous mixture containing a liquid in which visible particles settle
ex-pond water |
suspension
|
|
substance being dissolved
|
solute
|
|
substance doing the dissolving
|
solvent
|
|
solution can be _ _ or _
|
S,L or G
|
|
alloys-made by melting solids together
|
solid solutions
|
|
occurs at surface of solid, solevent molecules cluster aroundsolute molecules and pull them into solution
|
dissolving solids in liquids
|
|
rates of dissolving are affected by:
|
stirring, crystal size and temperature
|
|
increasing pressure and decreasing temp increse
|
the rate of dissolving gases in liquids
|
|
any characteristic of a material that you can observe without changing the identity of the substance
ex.- color shape size Mp Bp |
physical property
|
|
uses of physical properties
|
describe apperance, behavior and seperate things
|
|
change is size shape or state of matter
ex- distiliation- used for seperating substances in a mixture by evaoporating a liquid and recondensing its vapor |
physical change
|
|
characteristic of a substance that indicates whether it can undergo a chemical change
ex- flammability |
chemical property
|
|
change of one substance to another
used to seperate things |
chemical change
|
|
clues that change is occuring
|
heat light sound bubbles
|
|
big rocks split into smaller ones; one location to another
|
physical weathering
|
|
acid rain changes rock from one type to another
|
chemical weathering
|
|
law of conservation of mass
|
mass of all substances present before a chemical change equals mass of all substances that remain after the change
|
