(L1) STATE OF MATTER

Cards (19)

  • matter
    any object that has mass and volume
  • mass
    measure of inertia
  • volume
    occupies space
  • kinetic theory of matter
    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.
