Q

Homogenous Mixture

Aka solution

A

Brass is a homo bc you cannot see the copper and zinc atoms even under most microscopes
But these are still not bonded together

19
Q

Particle attraction strength in solid

A

Close together causing a solid and preventing movement along particles

20
Q

Particle attraction strength in liquid

A

Weak allowing the particles to slide freely past one another as with marbles in a bag

21
Q

Particle attraction strength in gas

A

Particles move freely bc they are spread apart and so not held together by attractive forces

22
Q

Identifying unknown substances via physical properties

A

Melting point and density are most useful

These are constant regardless of the size or vol
