Chemistry Flashcards
Matter
Anything that occupies space and has mass.
Mass
Is the amount of matter in a object.
3 states of matter
Solid, liquid ,gases
Properties of solids
Solids have :
Definite shape
Definite volume
Can’t be compressed
Can’t flow
Properties of liquids
Liquids have :
No definite shape
Definite volume
Can’t be comprossed
Can flow
Gases
Gases have :
No definite shape
No definite volume
Can be compressed
Can flow
Energy
In order for a substance to change state (from solid to a liquid, or liquid to gas) it needs heat energy
As a substance changes state, it uses latent heat. there is no change in temperature , but the state of material changes
Melting point
The melting point is when both the solid and liquid state exist together (changing from solid to liquid ).
The boiling point
The boiling point of a liquid is when evaporation begins to happen throughout the liquid (changing from liquid gas).
Condensation
Condensation is changing of a gas to a liquid.
States of matter
Solid
Liquid
Gas
Plasma
Diffusion
Is the movement of particles from a high concentration to an area of low concentration e.g spray perfume in one corner of the room and then in a while it will travel into the other
Mixture
A mixture consists of two or more substances mingled together but not chemically combined e.g
sand and water.
There are 4 methods of separating mixtures
1. Filtration
2.Evaporation
3.Distillation
4.Chromatography
Four states of matter. Plasma us the fourth state of matter like Gad but can conduct electricity
Filtration
Used to separate small insoluble solids( do not dissolve in a liquid) from a liquid by using filter paper and a funnel to trap the solids.
