What does the properties of a substance mean?
The way something behaves. E.g. colour and magnetic
Which state has the following properties? Cannot be compressed, particles don’t move around, don’t flow, fixed shape.
Solid
Which state has the following properties? can not be compressed , particles move around, flow and take the shape of the container.
Liquid
Which state has the following properties? Can be compressed, particles move around, flow and take shape of the container.
Gas
How does the arrangement of particles in a solid determine its properties?
Particles do not move around , they vibrate on the spot
How does the arrangement of particles in a liquid determine its properties
Particular’s move from place to place, sliding over each other.
How does the arrangement of particles in a gas determine its properties?
Particles move freely
What is the process by which a substance changes from one state to another
Changing state
Why is a solid turning into a liquid called
Melting
What is a liquid turning into a solid called?
Freezing
What is the temperature at which a liquid turns into a gas
Boiling point
What is a liquid turning into a gas called
Evaporation
What is a gas turning into a liquid called
Condensation
What is the solid turning into a gas called?
Sublimation
What is the movement of substances from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration called?
Diffusion
What free factors affect the rate of confusion
Temperature, particle size, and state
How does temperature affect diffusion?
Particles move quicker and so diffusion happens faster
How does particle size affect diffusion?
Big, heavy particles diffuse more slowly, then small,light ones.
How does the state of diffusing substance affect the rate of diffusion?
Diffusion is quickest in gases, slower in liquids where particles are closer together and does not happen in solids.
