Science Fundamentals of Matter Flashcards
(42 cards)
Energy is
the ability to change
Thermal Energy is
The inherent energy of matter
The KMT is
the explanation of macroscopic behavior
KE is
The energy associated with motion
The KMT states
All matter is made up of particles which are in constant motion and have attractive forces to each other.
The amount attractive forces in a substance can
vary wildy between each substance
Solids particles are
in a rigid structure and vibrate
Liquid particles are
in clumps and flow
Gas particles are
in random form with little to no attractive force and bounce around
Solid to liquid is
Melting
Liquid to gas is
vaporizing/ boliing/evaportation
Solid to gas
is sublimating
Gas to liquid is
condensing
Liquid to solid is
freezing
gas to solid is
depositing
Endothermic is when the energy of a substance is
increasing
Exothermic is when a substances thermal energy is
decreasing
How many types of TE can change at once
1 either state or structural temperature
What are Matter and Atoms
Matter is anything with mass and volume
Atoms are the building blocks of matter
Different types of atoms are called
Elements
A molecule is
A group of 2 or more atoms bonded together
A compound is
a molecule with 2 or more different atoms/elements bonded together
A mixture is a
material made up of 2 or more substances
What are the Properties of Mixtures
- Made of More than one type of Particle
- The ratio of the different types of particles can vary
- The properties of the Mixture are a synthesis of the properties of each substance
