states that the atoms that the matter is made up of are in continual and perpetual motion and can change depending on the situation around the object
daniel bernoulli (1738), john herapath (1820), john james waterston (1845)
who developed the kinetic theory of matter?
solid
particles are densely packed in a fixed position
definite shape and volume
liquid
tightly packed, far enough for the particles to slide over one another
indefinite shape, definite volume
gas
particles are very far apart and move freely
indefinite shape and volume
plasma
ionized gas
capable of conducting electricity and being influenced by magnetic fields
bose-einstein condensate
group of bosons cooled to nearly absolute zero occupe the same quantum state forming a superfluid with unique properties
pure substance and mixture
what are the two classification of matter?
pure substance
substance that are only made up of one type of particle throughout, possesing uniform chemical and physical properties
elements
purest form
contains only one type of atom
compounds
composed of two or more elements
elements and compounds
what are the two types of pure substance?
homogeneous and heterogeneous mixture
what are the two types of mixtures?
mixtures
are combinations of two or more substances that are physically mixed together without undergoing any chemical bonding.
homogeneous mixture
are mixtures where the components are evenly spread out on a molecular level, leading to a single phase with properties that remain consistent across the entire mixture
also referred to as solutions
heterogeneous mixture
are mixtures in which the components are not evenly distributed, resulting in visible variations in composition and properties within the mixture.
