Definition

1. All matter is made up of tiny particles that have empty spaces between them. 

2. Particles are in constant motion.

3. As temperature rises, the particles start moving faster.

4. Different substances are made up of different types of particles.

5. Particles attract each other.

Term
PURE SUBSTANCE
Definition
A substance that is made up of only one type of particle.
Term
ELEMENTS
Definition

A pure substance that can't be broken down into a simpler chemical substance by any physical or chemical means. 

Neon = Ne

Carbon = c

Term
COMPOUNDS
Definition

a pure substance composed of 2 or more different types of particles.

water = H2O

salt = NaCl

Term
MIXTURES
Definition
a substance that is made up of atleast 2 different types of particles.
Term
MECHANICAL MIXTURES
Definition
a mixture in which you can distinguish between different types of matter
Term
SOLUTIONS
Definition
a uniform mixture of 2 or more substances; note that if a liquid or gas is clear it's a solution, but if its cloudy or murky it's a mechanical mixture.
Term
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES & CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
Definition

p.p = a characteristic of a sbustance that can be determined without changing the compostion of that substance. 

 

c.p= a characteristic of a substance that is determined when the compostion of the new substance is changed and one or more new substances are produced

Term
PHYSICAL CHANGES & CHEMICAL CHANGES
Definition

p.c = a change in which the compostion of the substance remains unaltered and no new substances are produced

 

c.c = a change in the starting substance and the production of one or more new substances

Term
5 signs of chemical change
Definition

1. change in colour

2. change in odour

3. bubbles are visible by not adding heat (gas production)

4. a new solid is seen (precipitate productin)

5. a change in temperature or light (energy change)

Term
CHRACTERISTIC PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
Definition
a physical property is unique to a substance and that can be used to identify the substance
Term
BOILING POINT
Definition
the temperature at which a substance changes rapidly from a liquid to a gas
Term
MELTING POINT
Definition
the temperature at which a substance changes state from a solid to a liquid
Term
