  • All matter is made from
    Atoms
  • 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..
