22
New cards

chemical reaction

a change in substance that affects its chemical properties thus a chemical reaction occurs and a new substance is formed

23
New cards

precipiate

To cause a dissolved substance to separate from a liquid and form a solid

24
New cards

law of conservation of matter

matter is neither created nor destroyed during a chemical change. it only changes forms

25
New cards

thermal energy

the sum of the kinetic and potential energy of particles in an object

26
New cards

kinetic energy

energy in motion

27
New cards

potential energy

stored energy

28
New cards

temperature

measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in an object

29
New cards

intermolecular forces

the chemical bonds (intramolecular forces) within a molecule will determine whether or not a molecule is polar (opposites)

30
New cards

plasma

matter composed of positively and negatively charged particles with extremely high kinetic energy

31
New cards

bose-einstein condensates

atoms that are super cooled to such a low temp that they form a super atom, will slow down a light wave

32
New cards

heat of fusion

the amt of energy as heat needed to turn a soild into a liquid

33
New cards

heat of vaporization

the amt of energy as heat needed to turn a liquid into gas at its boiling point

34
New cards

vaporization

the state transition from liquid to gas

35
New cards

evaporation

caused by a pressure change, occurs only at the surface of a liquid

36
New cards

boiling

caused by a temp change occurs through a liquid

37
New cards

heating curve

a diagram that shows the phase changes a substance goes through as energy (in the form of heat) is added to it

38
New cards

difference between substance and mixture, examples

a substance cant be separated, ex: element and compounds

a mixture can be separated, ex: homogeneous and heterogeneous

39
New cards

difference between an element and compound, examples

element simplest form of matter and cant be broken down ex: Na,Cl, H

compound chemically combined 2 or more diff elements, can be chemically broken down ex: NaCl, H20

40
New cards

examples of monoatomic elements

1 atom

ex: He, Mg, C

41
New cards

examples of diatomic elements

2 atoms

ex: H2, N2,O2

42
New cards

difference between compound and mixture, examples

compound chemically combined 2 or more diff elements, can be chemically broken down ex: NaCl, H20

mixture is 2 or more substances PHYSICALLY combined ex: saltwater, lemonade, blood

43
New cards

difference between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixture, example

homogeneous even distribution, can be physically broken down into diff compounds ex: lemonade, stainless steel

heterogeneous uneven distribution, can physically broken down into different componets and will seperate over time ex: paint, blood, cereal

44
New cards

example of solution

one substance is dissolved in another, ex: lemonde, black coffee

46

how can matter be classified

all matter can be classified as a substance or mixture

47

48

compound

52

53

54

heterogeneous

55
New cards

difference between physical and chemical properties, 3 examples of each

physical properties can be observed directly or measured w/o changing the chemical identity of the substance ex: density, mass, shape

chemical properties can only be observed or measured by changing the chemical identity of a substance ex: toxicity, flammabilty, ability to decompose

56
New cards

difference between physically changing matter and chemically changing it, which is a chem reaction

physically changing matter is a change in subtance that only affects it physical properties

chemical change a change in substance that only affects its chemical properties thus a chemcial reaction occurs and new substance is formed

62
New cards

kinetic molecular theory

  1. all matter is made of small particles

  2. those particles are in constant random motion

  3. this motion causes the particles to collide with each other and the container they are in


63
New cards

realtionship between energy, tempature and the movement of particles in a substance

when a substance gains thermal energy, its particles generally move faster, causing its temperature to increase

  • Solid: Particles vibrate in place.

  • Liquid: Particles move around and slide past one another.

  • Gas: Particles move freely and quickly in all directions.


64
New cards

realtionship between energy, movement and intermolecular forces durning a phase change

  • Energy added: Particles use energy to overcome intermolecular forces, allowing them to move farther apart (like melting or boiling).

  • Energy removed: Particles lose energy, and intermolecular forces pull them closer together (like freezing or condensation).

  • Particle movement: During a phase change, the average kinetic energy and temperature stay constant, even though energy is being added or removed.


65
New cards

summarize the differences between soilds, liquid, and gases. include volume, shape, intermolecular forces and particle motion

solids: fixed vol and shape, lowest KE, strongest structure, vibrate in place

liquid: fixed vol,shape changes, particles slide past each other

gas: no fixed vol or shape, high KE, move freely

66
New cards

stars

67
