Chemistry - States of Matter

Solid

Arrangement: regular

Movement: vibrating

Energy: least

Liquid

Arrangement: random

Movement: rolling

Energy: middle

Gas

Arrangement: random

Movement: flying

Energy: most

Melting

Solid → liquid

Boiling

Liquid → gas

Sublimation

Solid → gas

Freezing

Liquid → solid

Condensing

Gas → liquid

Deposition

Gas → solid

State

A gas is better at diffusing than a liquid which is better than a solid

Temperature

Higher temperature = faster diffusion

Mass

When mass of the matter is low, diffusion is faster

Solvent

The major component that the solute is dissolved into (liquid)

Solute

Minor component dissolved in the solvent (generally a solid but can be any state)

Solution

Heterogeneous mixture of a liquid and something else

Saturated solution

Maximum mass of solute dissolved in solvent. Units g of solute per 100g of solvent at x°C
