New cards

Define matter

Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. It is composed of atoms and molecules, and it exists in various states such as solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.


2
New cards

what are electrons?

 Negatively charged particles that orbit the nucleus in electron shells.


3
New cards

what is the atomic number?

The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. This defines the element.


4
New cards

what is the mass number?

The total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.


5
New cards

define isotopes?

 Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons.


6
New cards

what happens in melting?

solid becomes liquid

7
New cards

what happens in freezing

liquid becomes solid

8
New cards

what happens in vaporisation?

Liquid becomes gas

9
New cards

what happens in condensation?

gas becomes liquid

10
New cards

what happens in sublimation?

solid becomes gas

11
New cards

what happens in deposition?

12
New cards

what is buoyancy

Objects with lower density than the fluid they are in will float.


13
New cards

what is density?

Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume

14
New cards

what is pressure?

Pressure is the force exerted per unit area on the surface of an object.

15
New cards

what is temperature?

Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance.

16
New cards

what is volume?

Volume is the amount of space that a substance or object occupies.


17
New cards

what is elasticity?

The ability of a material to return to its original shape after being deformed.

18
New cards

what is young’s modulus?

Measures the stiffness of a material.


19
New cards

what is plasticity?

The ability of a material to undergo permanent deformation.

20
New cards

what is ionic bonding?

Transfer of electrons from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of ions.


21
New cards

what is covalent bonding?

Sharing of electrons between atoms.


22
New cards

what is metallic bonding?

Electrons are shared in a "sea" of electrons, allowing metals to conduct electricity and heat.
