• Kinetic particle theory


  States that matter is particulate in nature
• Solid


  • Closely packed in an orderly manner
• Liquid


  • Loosely packed together
• Gas


  • Particles are not held in fixed position
• Plasma


  • Gaseous state of matter/atoms are stripped off of electrons
• Auroras


  • Atmospheric disturbances caused by low density plasma
• Aurora borealis


  • Aurora occurs in the northern
• Aurora australis


  • Aurora occurs in southern
• Einstein and Satyendra Nath Bose


  Derived the name by BEC
• Physical properties


  Characteristics of a substance without changing its composition
• Chemical properties


  Characteristics of a substance when it undergoes changes in composition
• Physical change


  Changes which don't alter the composition of the substance
• Chemical changes


  Involves changes in the composition of the substance
• Decomposition


  Natural process organic matter breaks down into simpler forms of matter
• Decomposers


  Organisms that help break down organic matter

• Mixtures


  Combination of 2 or more substances that can be separated by physical methods
• Homogeneous mixture


  • Uniform composition and properties
• Heterogeneous mixture


  • Not uniform in composition
• Suspensions


  Heterogeneous mixtures where the suspended particles can be seen and are large enough to be filtered
• Colloids


  Generally classified as heterogeneous mixtures where the particles are bigger than those of solution but smaller than suspension
• Coarse mixtures


  Particles can be separated mechanically
• Decantation


  Pouring of liquid from a mixture to separate the liquid from the solid
• Filtration


  Uses piece of paper to let liquid pass through but catches the solid
• Flotation


  Removal of suspended particles using sedimentation or coagulation
• Centrifugation


  Settling of tiny suspended particles using a centrifuge
