attractive forces
?
The
weak forces
of attraction between
molecules

What is the
boiling point
?
The
temperature
at which a liquid boils.
What do
chemical properties
describe?
How a substance reacts with other
substances
.
What is the
melting point
?
The temperature at which a
substance
changes from solid to liquid when heated.
What is a
molecule
?
A particle consisting of
two
or more atoms joined together by
covalent
bonding.
What is a
particle
?
A tiny piece of
matter
that everything is made out of.
What is the
particle model
?
A
theory
to explain the different properties and observations of solids, liquids, and gases.
What is a
physical change
?
A change in which no new
substances
are formed, like changes of state.
What are the
states of matter
?
The three different forms that a substance can have:
solid
,
liquid
, or
gas
.
What is a
compound
?
A substance that can be split into simpler substances, containing atoms of two or more
elements
joined together.
What is an
element
?
A substance made up of only atoms with the same number of
protons
in the
nucleus
.
What does
impure
mean?
A
substance
that is not pure.
What is a
mixture
?
Two or more
substances
jumbled together but not joined to each other.
What is a
physical property
?
A description of how a material behaves and responds to
forces
and energy.
What does
pure
mean?
A single
substance
, with a fixed
composition
, that does not have anything else mixed with it.
What is
crystallisation
?
Separating the
solute
from a solution by evaporating the
solvent
.
What is a
filtrate
?
The solution passing through a
filter
.
What is
filtration
?
Using a filter to separate
insoluble
substances from a liquid.
What is a
hazard
?
Something that could
cause
harm.
What does
insoluble
mean?
Describes a
substance
that cannot be dissolved in a certain liquid.
What is
residue
?
The material remaining in the
filter
after the mixture has passed through it.
What is
risk
?
The chance of a
hazard
causing harm.
What is a
risk assessment
?
Identification of the
hazards
of doing an experiment.
What is a
saturated solution
?
A solution that contains the maximum amount of
solute
that can dissolve in that amount of
solvent
at that temperature.
What is a
solute
?
The substance that dissolves in a
liquid
to make a solution.
What is a
solution
?
A mixture formed when a substance has
dissolved
in a liquid.
What is a
solvent
?
The liquid in which a
solute
dissolves to make a
solution
.
What is
chromatography
?
A technique for separating the
components
of a mixture.
What is
paper chromatography
?
Chromatography carried out by spotting drops of the samples onto paper and allowing a
solvent
to move up the paper.
What is the
stationary phase
in
chromatography
?
The surface through which the solvent and dissolved substances move in chromatography.
What is the
mobile phase
in
paper chromatography
?
The
solvent
that moves along the paper carrying the dissolved samples with it.
What is a
chromatogram
?
The piece of paper showing the results of carrying out
chromatography
on substances.
What is the
Rf value
?
The
ratio
of the distance travelled by the
solute
to the distance travelled by the
solvent
under the same conditions.
What does
condense
mean?
When a
gas
turns into a liquid.
What is
distillation
?
The process of separating a liquid from a mixture by
evaporating
the liquid and then
condensing
it.
What is
fractional distillation
?
A method of separating a mixture of liquids with different
boiling points
into individual components.
What is a
still
?
The apparatus used to carry out
distillation
or
fractional distillation
.
What is an
aquifer
?
An underground layer of rock containing
groundwater
, which can be extracted using a well or pump.
What is
chemical analysis
?
Using
chemical reactions
or sensitive machines to identify and measure
substances
in a sample.
