Khemein or Khemia
“preparation of black powder”
from Greek
Chymist
“alchemist”
from French
anything that has mass and volume
matter
5 states of matter
solid
liquid
gas
plasma
bose-einstein condensate
describe solid
- non-compressible
- vibrates when collided
describe liquid
- assumes the container’s shape
- glides on solid surfaces
describe gas
- compressible
- neutrally charged (p+ & e-)
describe plasma
- abundant protons and electrons (affects magnetic field)
- most abundant state of matter (ionized neon lights, auroras, stars, sun)
INTERMOLECULAR FORCES OF ATTRACTION
highest to lowest attraction in order
solid
liquid
gas
plasma
ENTHALPY (HEAT/REACTION ENERGY)
highest to lowest attraction in order
plasma
gas
liquid
solid
saturated with p+ and e-
plasma
other names of MELTING
fusion
liquefaction
thawing
other name of VAPORIZATION
evaporation
other names of RECOMBINATION
de-ionization
melting
solid to liquid; caused by heating
freezing
liquid to solid, caused by cooling a liquid.
vaporization
- liquid to gas (vapor) due to the escape of - - molecule from the surface.
condensation
- gas to liquid
- naturally caused by cooling.
sublimation
- solid to gas
- from solid to gaseous on heating, & from gaseous directly to solid on cooling.
deposition
- gas to solid
- direct transition from vapor state to the solid state
ionization
gas to plasma
recombination
plasma to gas
2 classifications of matter
- pure substance
- mixture
what is pure substance
- it cannot be separated by any physical means
- has a definite and constant composition
- possesses distinct chemical properties
