  • Matter
    Anything that has mass and takes up space
  • States of matter
    • Solid
    • Liquid
    • Gas
  • Solid
    • Particles are evenly packed together and do not move or roll on each other but do vibrate
  • Liquid
    • Particles can move/roll on each other but still loosely together and have a little amount of energy
  • Gas
    • Particles have lots of energy and can move and take up all the space given
  • Change of state
    Influenced by how much energy each particle has
  • Particle arrangement by state
    • Solid - Particles are always together tightly forming shapes
    • Liquid - Particles are together but a little loose and can roll over each other
    • Gas - Particles take up all space given and push for more space

  • Matter
    • Takes up space
    • Everything around us is made of matter
    • Has different phases
    • Has particles
    • Has mass
  • Particle theory (kinetic theory) ideas

    • All matter is made up of small particles
    • These particles are always moving
    • When matter is heated up particles move faster
    • When particles move faster they need more room
    • When matter is cooled the particles move slowly
    • When particles move slowly there need less room
    • Particles are held together by force which varies in strength
  • Particles in solids
    • Particles are close together as they can be
    • Particles are held together strongly
    • Particles are not free to move and they can only vibrate in fixed positions
  • Particles in liquids
    • Particles are as together as they can be
    • Particles are held together less strongly
    • Particles can roll over one another
  • Particles in gases
    • Particles are much further apart
    • Particles are not held together
    • Particles are free to move
  • diagram
  • - What matter is heated up is particle start to vibrate and loosen up causing change in states of matter
  • -as heated up particles move faster and bouncing around in space and needing more room causing volume to expand (thermal expansion)
  • -Density: matter’s mass per unit of volume
    -D=M/V.      
    -M=V x D
    -V= M/D
    -volume mean space of object
    -mass means weight of matter
  • Atom
    The smallest unit of existence, too small to be seen by the human eye
  • Subatomic particles
    • Protons
    • Electrons
    • Neutrons
  • Protons
    Positive charge
  • Electrons
    Negative charge
  • Neutrons
    Neutral charge, not positive or negative
  • Electrons
    • Smaller with less mass than protons and neutrons
  • if Number of protons equals electrons so atoms have no overall charge
  • Opposite charges attract

    Causing protons, neutrons and electrons to hold to form atoms
  • Nucleus
    Positive, attracting negative electrons
  • Neutral atoms
    Atoms with no overall charge
  • atom diagram
  • transition of state
  • Molecule
    A group of two or more atoms bonded together (multiple of the same atom chemically bonded together)
  • Molecule consisting of only one element
    Molecule of element
  • Pure substance
    Only one type of particle, can be a single element like oxygen or a molecule like O2 or compound like H2O
  • Mixture
    Two or more elements mixed together, they keep their own properties and can be physically separated
  • Element
    A pure substance that consists of one type of atom, each element is represented by a unique symbol (e.g. hydrogen is represented by H)
  • Number of different of atoms
    • 118
  • Matter with one type of atom is the element
  • Number of natural elements
    • 92
  • Scientists have made over 20 elements
  • Mixture
    Contains two or more components, that are not chemically combined
  • Emulsion
    A mixture where a liquid is suspended in another liquid. They can separate into layers of liquids
