Matter and its Properties Flashcards
(25 cards)
Smallest Particle Matter
Atoms
Composed of Atoms
Molecules
Particles with charges
Ions
A state of matter that are closely packed, restricted motion
Solid
State of matter that are far apart and has free movement
Liquid
State of matter that are very far apart and have chaotic movement
Gas
The particle theory of matter is composed of:
Atoms, Molecules and Ions
properties of matter that are directly observable or measurable without having to change the identity of the substance
Physical Properties
Give examples on Physical Properties
Color, Odor, Boiling point and more
This involves changes in physical properties and do not involve the change in the identity of a substance
Physical Change
These are properties that can only be determined with an accompanying change in identity
Chemical Properties
These involve changes in the identity of a substance
Chemical Change
These properties are dependent on the amount of matter
Extensive Properties
The properties do not depend on the amount of matter
Intensive Properties
This can’t be seperated into its components by simple physical means
Pure Substances
Made up of 2 or more different substances and can be seperated using simple means
Mixtures
This is the bulding block of matter and can’t be broken into simpler substances by chemical or physical means
Elements
This can be broken down into consistent elements by chemical but not physical
Compounds
Components can’t be distinguished and only has 1 visible phase
Homogenous Mixture
Components can be easily identified and has 2 or more phases
Heterogenous Mixture
This is used to seperate undissolved solids from a liquid mixture
Filtration
This is used when a mixture is made up of 2 or more liquids of different boiling points
Distillation
This is used to seperate magnetic solid from a heterogenous mixture
Magnetic Seperation
This is used to seperate a solid from a liquid in a heterogenous mixture based on gravity
Decantation
