Change Flashcards
Define physical chnage
A change that does not alter the chemical nature of the substance, and in which no new chemical substances are formed
What are examples of physical change?
Phase chnagez
What is Kinetic molecular theory also known as?
The particle model of matter
Define particle model of matter
Scientific model used to explain that all matter is made up of particles and to explain the properties and behaviour of matter
Define particles
atoms, molecules, ions
What does the model state?
- Made up of atoms
- Particles always moving
- Empty space between
- Forces of attraction
How big are the particles?
So small - can’t see under microscope
When do particles move faster?
Heaterd
When do particles move slower?
Lose heat
What exists between spaces?
Nothing
What does it mean when forces of attraction is strong?
Particles are close
What does it mean when forces are weak?
Particles are far away
How close are the particles for solids?
Very close together
What forces of attraction do solids have?
Strong forces of attraction - held tightly togeteht
Can solids be compressed?
Cannot be compressed
How do solids move?
Do not flow - vibrate
What type of kinetic energy do solids have?
Low kinetic energy
Shape and volume of solids?
Fixed shape and volume
Density of solids?
High density
How close are liquids particles?
Close together
Forces of attraction of liquids?
String but weaker than solids
How do liquids move?
Slide over each other
Can liquids be compressed?
Cannot he compressed
Why can liquids move easily?
Kinetic energy between particles are greater than solids, weaker than gases
