Matter
Any substance that has mass and occupies volume
What three states does matter exist in?
Solid, liquid, gas
What is the Kinetic-Molecular Theory for Solids?
The particles of matter are tightly packed together and have the least energy of the three states of matter
What is the Kinetic-Molecular Theory for liquids?
Particles of matter are loosely packed and are free to move past one another.
Liquids have less energy than gases but more energy than solids
What is the Kinetic-Molecular Theory for gases?
The particles of matter are far apart, uniformly distributed throughout the container
Have the most energy
Describe the shape, volume, and compressibility of solids
Shape - fixed
Volume - fixed
Compressibility - cannot be compressed
Describe the shape, volume, and compressibility of liquids
Shape - variable
Volume - fixed
Compressibility - cannot be compressed
Describe the shape, volume, and compressibility of gases
Shape - variable
Volume - variable
Compressability - compressable
Melting
Solid -> Liquid (Temperature increase)
Freezing
Liquid -> Solid
(Temperature Decrease)
Vaporizing
Liquid -> gas
(Temperature increases)
Condensing
Gas -> Liquid
(Temperature decreases)
Sublimation
Solid -> Gas
(Temperature increases)
Deposition
Gas -> Solid
(Temperature decreases)
What two classes can matter be divided into?
Mixtures and Pure Substances
Mixtures
Physical blend of two or more substances; can be physically separated into its component substances
Pure Substances
Composed of only one substance and /cannot/ be physically separated
What are the two types of mixtures?
Heterogeneous and Homogeneous Mixtures
Heterogeneous Mixtures
Do not have uniform properties throughout (Think sand and water)
Homogeneous mixtures
Have uniform properties throughout and are clear (Think salt water)
What are the two types of pure substances?
Compounds and Elements
Compounds
Can be chemically separated into individual elements (H2O -> H2 + O)
Elements
Cannot be broken down further by chemical reactions
All contained on the periodic table
How many natural elements are stable?
