Every substance has a unique number of _, _ and _.
Protons,Neutrons, Electrons
In 19th century, English Chemist, meteorologist, & physicist John Dalton, proposed a fundamental theory about indivisible particle that made up all matter. He named this atoms.
The particle theory of matter includes how particles can be grouped together to form matter.
The process of Solid to Liquid is Melting.
The process of Liquid to Solid is Freezing.
The process of Gas to Liquid is Condensation.
The process of Solid to Gas is Sublimation.
The process of Liquid to Gas is Evaporation.
The process of Gas to Solid is Deposition.
The process of Liquid to Gas is Vaporization.
The process of Plasma to Gas is Deionization.
The process of Gas to Plasma is Ionization.
In evaporation of water, water particles gain energy from sunlight and tend to move as much as they can.
Particles of matter are in constant motion.
Molecular motion is great in gases, less in liquids, and the least in solids.
Particles of matter are held together by very strong electric forces.
Temperature affects the speed of particles. The higher the _, the faster the speed of particles.
Solid is characterized by structural rigidity.
In Solids, vibration causes stable, definite shape, and definite volume.
Materials whose constituents are arranged in a regular pattern are known as crystals.
In crystalline solids, the particles are packed in a regularly ordered, repeating pattern.
Ice has 15 solid phases.
Solid objects that are large enough to see and handle are rarely composed of a single crystal but instead are made with a large number of single crystals are called polycrystalline.
Amorphous Solids are no long-range order in the position of the atoms.
The particles in a crystalline solid are arranged in a repeating pattern.
The particles in an amorphous solid are arranged randomly.
Metals are strong, dense and good conductors of both electricity and heat.
In metals, electrons are shared through metallic bonding.
Alloys are a mixture of two or more elements in which the major component is metal.
Iron and aluminum are the 2 most commonly used structural metals and the most abundant in the Earth's Crust.
Iron is most commonly used in the form of alloy called steel.
Iron contains up to 2.1% carbon and harder than pure iron.
Metallic Solids are held together by a high, density shared, delocalized electrons, known as metallic bonding.
Minerals are naturally occuring solids formed various geological processes under high pressure.
Most minerals form in the geosphere, but some form in the hydrosphere (halite) and biosphere (Calcite)
Minerals must occur naturally.
Minerals must be organic.
Minerals must be solid.
Minerals must possess an orderly internal structure..
