(36 cards)
Anything made of particles. It has mass and volume
Matter
Matter is made up of particles, which called
atoms
When you add or subtract heat from a substance, you can change its
state of matter
The state of matter of a substance is determined by
how much energy its particles have.
Both atoms and molecules are held together by a form of
potential energy
called chemical energy
Basis of Classification of the Four Types of Matter
Based upon
particle arrangement ,
energy of particles ,
distance between particles
In chemistry and chemical physics, a mesophase is a state of matter intermediate between
solid and liquid
In chemistry and chemical physics, a mesophase is a state of matter intermediate between
solid and liquid
Gelatin and biological structures such as the lipid bilayers of cell membranes are examples of
mesophases
The fundamental difference between states of matter is
the strength of the intermolecular forces of attraction.
Solids and liquids are referred to as the
condensed phases.
Extensive properties: dependent of the
quantity of material in the system. mass,volume,total energy.
Intensive properties: independent of the
quantity of material. density, pressure, temperature
A tiny particle of a chemical element is called
an atom
is a special type of homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances
Solution
is matter which has a specific composition and specific properties. Every pure element is a substance. Every pure compound is a substance
Substance
cannot be decomposed into simpler substances by chemical changes
Elements
can be decomposed into simpler substances by chemical changes
Compounds
Variable composition. Components retain their characteristic properties
Mixtures
components are indistinguishable; have same composition (e.g. solutions, alloys).
Homogeneous mixtures
components are distinguishable; do not have same
composition (e.g. muddy river water)
Heterogeneous mixtures
liquid to solid
freezingpoint
liquid to gas
boiling point
solid to liquid
melting point
