States Of Matter And Separating Mixtures Flashcards
Matter
Anything that takes up space and he’s mass
Mass
The measure of the amount of matter in an object
States of matter
The form that matter exists in (solid,liquid or gas
Solid
Cannot flow,fixed shape
Liquid
Can flow, can change shape
Gas
Particles are very far apart,do not have a fixed volume, can be compressed into a can
Particles
Small parts that make up everything
Particle theory
The belief that everything is made up of very small particles
Viscosity
The flow rate of a liquid
Diffusion
The spreading out of particles to fill the space that they are in
Melting
Solid to a liquid
Boiling
Liquid to a gas
Physical change
No new substance is formed,there is no change in mass and the reaction can easily be reversed
Melting point
The temperature at witch a substance changes from a solid to a liquid the melting point of ice is 0OC
Freezing
The temperature at which a liquid changes to a solid
