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
