Physical properties for solid?
Fixed Shape, Fixed Volume, Cannot flow, Slightly compressible, Small change in volume with heating
Physical properties of liquid?
Not fixed shape, fixed volume, can flow, can be slightly compressed, small change in volume with heating
Physical properties of gas?
Not fixed shape, Not fixed volume, Can flow, Can be greatly compressed, Very large change to volume when heated
Explain the motion of particles in solids?
- Never stops moving
- Move towards each other then spring away
- Looks like lattice formation
- Doesn’t fall apart because of particles staying close and orderly
What happens when a solid is heated?
- The heat causes the molecules to lose order
- They speed up, bump into each other and lose their pattern
- The solid melts
What happens when water is heated?
- It evaporates very quickly
- Molecules move even quicker and with less order
Name the 5 points in the particle theory of matter?
- All matter is made up of small particles
- All particles of one substance are identical
- The space between particles is very large compared to the particles themselves
- The particles in matter attract each other (the closer they are, the stronger the force)
- All the particles of matter are constantly moving (change in temperature and speed is what causes a change in state)
Describe the heating curve for water?
- Water particles begin to move faster and with less order, spacing increases.
- 0 degrees C - energy is used to change states rather than release temperature (temp flattens out for a bit) S -> L
- Particles continue moving faster and spacing increases more
- 100 degrees C - energy is used to change states, not release temperature (temp flattens out for a bit) L -> G
- Temp continues increasing
Attraction between particles lessens with each step

What is a physical property?
A characteristic of a substance that can be measured without changing its identity.
What is a chemical property?
The ability of a substance to react to another substance and form new substances.
What is qualitative vs quantitative?
Qualitative: w/o detailed measurement, easy to observe, etc
Quantitative: w/ complex measurement, assigned a value, generally uses #’s
What is solubility?
The ability of a solute to dissolve in a solvent.
What is conductivity?
Ability to conduct electricity.
What is combustability?
The ability of a substance to burn in the air.
What is an element?
Cannot be broken down via ordinary means
Atoms are the smallest price of an element
Each element has its own unique properties
Assembled and can be found on the periodic table
What is a compound?
-Made of 2 or more different chemicals,
-Defined by chemical formula and have different properties of oh elements
-Molecules are the smallest piece of a compound
What is a homogeneous mixture?
Components are uniformly mixed together
(One phase)
What is a heterogeneous mixture?
Has 2 or more phases (states, colours, etc)
