TYPES OF MATTER Flashcards
(26 cards)
Is anything that has mass and takes up space
Matter
Three states of matter
Solid, Liquid, Gas
-Molecules tightly packed
together and don’t move around
much.
-Particles in a solid have strong
bonds between each other.
have a fixed volume and
shape.
-The molecules in a solid can
vibrate but the structure doesn’t
not change.
Solid
-Molecules more spread out and
can move around and bump into
each other.
-Bonds between particles are
weak.
- have a fixed volume but
can change shape. They take the
shape of the container they are
in.
Liquid
-Molecules are far apart can
move around freely and quickly.
-Bonds between particles are
very weak.
-The shape and volume of a ___
are not fixed.
Gas
Changing states of matter
Physical Change
Chemical Change
-Change from a solid
to a liquid
-The melting point of
a substance fixed in
pure substances
Melting
-Change from liquid to
gas
-The temperature at
which when a liquid
freezes is called the
freezing point
Evaporation
A change from solid to gas without its becoming liquid
Sublimation
When a substance in
gas form a changes
states to become a
solid
Deposition
-Change from gas to
liquid
-The particles lose
energy and move closer
together as the gas
cools therefore
increasing the attraction
between them
Condensation
A change where a new form of matter
is made
Chemical Change
-will change the visible appearance,
without changing the composition of
the material
-Can be irreversible or reversible
Physical Change
Sign of chemical changes:
Gas production
Precipitate formation
Energy production
Change in temperature
Change in color
Change in chemical or physical property
Depends on the amount of matter in a
sample
Extensive property
Describing property
Extensive property
Intensive property
Extensive property
volume
mass
size
weight
length
Depends on the type of matter, not the
amount present
Intensive Property
Intensive property
Boiling point
Color
Temperature
Luster
Hardness
Properties of Matter
Physical Property
Chemical Property
A property that can be observed
and measured without changing the
materials composition
Physical Property
Property that can only be observed
by changing the composition of the
material
Chemical Property
A physical blend of at least two substances
Mixture
Two Types of Mixture
Homogenous
Heterogenous
