  • what is the structure of particles in a solid?
    regular arrangement, very close together, vibrate around fixed positions
  • what is the structure of particles in a liquid?
    random arrangement, close together, move around eachother
  • whats the structure of particles in a liquid?

    random arrangement, far apart, move in all directions quickly
  • disadvantage of 2D particle models
    may not show 3D structure
  • disadvantage of 3D particle models
    more difficult to create
  • 3 disadvantages of 2D and 3D particle models
    don't show how they are moving, not to scale with respect to the particles, don't show the forces of attraction
  • solid to a liquid
    melting
  • liquid to a solid
    freezing
  • liquid to a gas
    evaporation
  • gas to a liquid
    condensation
  • solid to a gas
    sublimation
  • gas to a solid
    depositation
  • chemical change
    produces one or more new substances and irreversible
  • physical change

    when a substance changes state or shape, or breaks into pieces (no new substances are made), reversible change
  • electrostatic forces of attraction

    the forces which attract particles together
  • what happens when particles gain heat energy
    it makes them move faster giving them kinetic energy
  • ration of distance to diameter=
    distance between atoms/diameter of atom
  • 3 limitations to particle models
    the forces between particles, the size of particles, the space between particles
  • why to atoms have no charge
    because they have the same number of protons as electrons and protons are positive and electrons are negative so cancel each other out
  • ion
    when an atom has lost or gained electrons
  • what happens when an atom has a full outershell
    the become stable and unreactive
  • isotope
    atoms with the same number of protons but a different number of neurtons
  • pure
    when a substance is made up of a single element or compound
  • solution
    when a substance is dissolved into another
  • solute
    the substance that disolves
  • solvent
    the substance the solute dissolves into
  • soluble
    it can dissolve
  • insoluble
    it cannot dissolve
  • saturated
    when no more solute can dissolve into the solvent at that temprature
  • whats filtration used for
    separate an insoluble solid from a liquid and to purify a mixture
  • distillation
    used to separate mixtures that contain liquids
  • fractional distillation

    used to separate a mixture of liquids with similar boiling points
  • chromatography
    used to separate and identify substances in a mixture.
  • mobile phase
    where the molecules can move, always in a gas or liquid state
  • stationary phase
    where the molecules can't move, solid or a really thick liquid
  • RF
    distance travelled by the substance/distance travelled by solvent
  • relative atomic mass
    the mean mass of an atom of an element compared to 1/12 the mass of a carbon 12 atom
  • relative formula mass
    the mean mass of a substance compared to 1/12 of the mass of a carbon 12 atom
  • gas chromotography
    used to analyse unknown substance (must be vaporised)
  • empirical formula
    shows the simplest whole numbers ratio of the atoms of each element in a compound
