4
What is the first rule in the particle theory of matter?
All matter is made up of tiny particles
What is the second rule in the particle theory of matter?
Particles are constantly moving in random directions
What is the third rule in the particle theory of matter?
Particles move faster when heated
What is the fourth rule in the particle theory of matter?
Particles are attracted to each other
What are the 3 states of matter?
solid, liquid, gas
How do solid particles act?
particles are densely packed and move slowly
How do liquid particles act?
particles are more spaced out and move fast.
How do gas particles act?
particles are very spaced out and move very quickly.
What is a pure substance?
Matter that consists of only one type of particle
What are the 2 types of pure substances?
elements and compound
What are elements?
elements are substances that cannot be broken down into chemically simpler components (elements)
What are Compounds?
Compounds are substances that can be broken down into chemically simpler components (elements)
What are Mixtures?
A mixture is anything that consists of 2 or more substances
What are the 2 types of Mixtures?
Homogenous mixtures and heterogeneous mixture
What is a homogenous mixture?
a homogenous mixture (aka a solution) has substances that are indistinguishable and has a uniform appearance
What is a heterogeneous mixture?
a heterogeneous mixture (aka a mechanical mixture) has substances that are distinguishable and different substances are easily noticeable
