20
Q

Properties of a Liquid

A

Definite volume
No specific shape (Assumes the shape of its container)
Slightly compressible

21
Q

Properties of a Gas

A

-No fixed volume or shape
(Takes on the shape and volume of its container)
-Highly compressible (Relatively easy to decrease the volume of a gas )

22
Q

A

change of state.

23
Q

processes from solid to liquid

processes from liquid to gas

A

melting

evaporation

24
Q

gas to liquid called..

liquid to solid called..

A

condensation

freezing

25
Physical Properties can be
- measured or obtained without changing the composition of the material. like to separate a mixture into pure compounds, but it will not break compounds into elements. - no chemical changes - reversible
26
examples of physical properties
mass- density- texture- volume- magnetism- length- color
27
what are intensive and extensive properties?
Intensive Property : Independent of the quantity of substance (Ex: color, hardness, melting, boiling point, density) Extensive Property: Depends on the quantity of the substance (Ex: mass, volume, length, weight)
28
Separating mixture into pure compounds , changing physical properties by:
filtration - distillation - chromatography
29
Chemical properties
-undergo chemical changes
30
examples of chemical changes
``` flammability toxicity rust with oxygen react with finger and water radioactivity sensitivity to light ```
31
chemical changes are
- irreversible | - a given substance becomes a new substance with different properties and composition
32
chemical reaction
is a process of rearranging, replacing, or adding atoms to generate a new substance
33
Pure Substance:
Involves one component. Sugar and water are pure substances. A pure substance can be a 1chemical compound or 1 element
34
do pure substance can decompose to other substance?
no they can't decompose to other substances
34
atom
is the smallest particle of an element that have the chemical properties of an element
35
molecule
smallest unit of a compound, 2 or more atoms connected together it can be the same atom like O2
36
Chemical Element:
substance whose atoms all have the same number of protons
36
Chemical Compounds:
are composed of atoms chemically bonded to each other in fixed ratios and can be decomposed to those atoms
36
matter
composed of tiny particles called atom
37
mixture
more than one substance
38
types of mixture
Homogeneous mixture (solution) and Heterogeneous mixture
39
Heterogeneous mixture:
have many phases like sand in water - oil in water , non-uniform composition
40
Homogeneous Mixture
have on phase , uniform composition like water and alcohol
