* incompressible * Fixed in position * Vibrate in their places * Strong attraction between particles * Fixed volume * Fixed shape

New cards
liquid particles
* incompressible * Vibrate * move freely throughout the liquid but stay close together * particles cane flow and take shape of container * Strong attraction between particles (but not as strong as solid) * Fixed volume
3
New cards
gas particles
* Compressible * **large spaces** between gas particles and they are not stuck together * free to move in **straight lines** until they collide with another gas particle or the side of the container * Weak attraction between particles * Take volume of container * Take shape of container

New cards
particle model- change of state
When a substance is heated
* Particles have more energy and move faster * Solid particles can vibrate out of position ie melt * Liquid particles move faster and separate ie evaporate
When a substance is cooled
* Particles have less energy and move slower * Gas particles slow down and get closer together ie condense. * Liquid particles slow down and form an ordered structure ie freeze/solidify
5
New cards
particle model- Expansion
* Substance is heated, makes particles move faster and take more space but not enough energy for change of state
* When the temperature increases, the particles vibrate faster, pushing each other apart.
6
New cards
particle model- contraction
* Substance is cooled, makes particles slow down and takes less space but not enough for a change of state
* When the temperature decreases, particles vibrate more slowly, allowing them to be packed close together.
7
New cards
particle model- dissolving
* When a substance dissolves, the solute particles are distributed evenly throughout the solvent particles
8
New cards
Solution
mixture of solute dissolved in solvent. Solutions may be transparent or coloured.
Solution = solute + solvent
9
New cards
Solute
substance that is dissolved in the solvent to form a solution.
10
New cards
Solvent
substance in which the solute dissolves in to form a solution.
11
New cards
particle model- diffusion
* The movement of gases or liquids spreading out in another gas or liquid
* Given time, if two liquids are mixed together, their particles will **diffuse** and mix evenly without stirring. The same occurs when two gases are mixed. * Increasing temperature speeds up diffusion
12
New cards
atom
* smallest indivisible particle of matter * Made up of protons, neutrons and electrons
13
New cards
element
* pure substance made up of only one type of atom
14
New cards
molecule
* two or more atoms bonded together. * These can be the same type of atom or different types
15
New cards
compound
* pure substance made up of two or more different elements (types of atoms) * The elements in a compound are chemically bonded together.
\
16
New cards
Mixture
* combination of two or more pure substances
* can be separated
17
New cards
periodic table- periods
* rows across the periodic table * there are 7 periods
18
New cards
periodic table- groups
* columns down the periodic table * There are 18 groups
19
New cards
periodic table-metals, non-metals and metalloids
* **Metals- left side of the table** * **Non-metals on the right side of the table** * **Metalloids- in between them**
20
New cards
Metals
* Shiny (lustrous)
* Hard * High melting and boiling points * Good conductors of heat and electricity * Mainly solid at room temperature * Malleable - shape them * Ductile -make wires
21
New cards
Non-metals
* Dull * Soft * Brittle * Low melting and boiling points * Poor conductors of heat and electricity * Solids, liquid and gases at room temperature
22
New cards
metalloids
Have properties of both metals and nonmetals
23
New cards
Monatomic elements
* elements containing only one type of single atom * only six, which are all noble gases (helium, neon, krypton, xenon, argon, radon – oganesson ??)
24
New cards
Molecular elements
* clusters of two or more of the same atom bonded (joined) together * examples- oxygen O2, Nitrogen N2, bromine Br2
25
New cards
Crystal lattices
* grid-like structures that repeat the same arrangement of atoms * There are two main types: metallic ( lead, copper) and non-metallic ( graphite, diamond)
26
New cards
Physical changes
* does not produce new substances * Identifying a physical change * Changes in shape or form * Expands (gets bigger) * Contracts (gets smaller) * Change in state (solid, liquid or gas) * Mixing with another substance
27
New cards
**Chemical change**
* produce new substances * Identifying a chemical change * A ***colour*** change * A ***gas*** is produced- smell, bubbles, smoke * A ***precipitate*** (solid) forming * ***Energy being released or absorbed. released -in the form of heat, light or both- exothermic. Absorbed- cause surroundings to cool- endothermic.***
28
New cards
chemical reaction
* Show the “before” and “after” of a chemical change * Start with reactants - reactants react to produce products * **Reactants → products**
