movement of particles in a solid
particles vibrate on the spot
movement of particles in a liquid
particles slip and slide over each other
movement of particles in a gas
particles have fast and completely free movement

very high
forces of attraction between particles in a liquid
medium
forces of attraction between particles in a gas
very low
what are the three parts of a heating graph?
heating, melting, evaporating
diffusion definition
diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. smaller molecules take a shorter time to diffuse than larger molecules
solute definition
the substance being dissolved in the liquid
solvent definition
the liquid the substance is being dissolved in
solution definition
the resulting homogenous (uniform) mixture of a solute and solvent
concentrated solution…
…has a large number of solute particles in a small volume of solvent
dilute solution…
…has a small number of solute particles in a large volume of solvent
saturated solution
one where no more solute will dissolve in a given volume of solvent at a fixed temperature
