Three states of matter
Solid
Liquid
Gas
What is the fourth state of matter
Plasma
What is solid
Particles are tightly packed in a pattern. They vibrate but won’t move. They retain shape.
What is a liquid
Particles are close together but with no regular pattern.
Particles can flow and easily move or slide past one another.
Liquids take shape in container.
What is gas
Particles in gas are well separated with no regular pattern.
Particles in gas vibrate freely at high speeds.
Gasses assume shape of container.
What is plasma
Plasma is gas with a change in how it takes place in the container or looks.
What is an Element
Made up of only one type of atom, a pure substance.
What is a mixture
Two or more substances mixed together but not chemically joined
What is a compound
A substance made when two or more elements are chemically joined
What is matter
Anything that takes up space and has mass
What are atoms
Are the tiny building blocks of matter. Everything is made up of an atom
What are atoms made of
We cannot see atoms with our eyes. Each atom has a nucleus in the center and electrons around it.
What are subatomic particles
Atoms made of smaller partivles called subatomic particles.
What are subatomic particles made up of
Protons, neutrons, electrons.
What are protons
They are positive charge, found in the nucleus. Protons is most of atoms mass
What are neutrons
They are no charge, (neutral), found in the nucleus. They take up most of the atoms mass
What are electrons
They are a negative charge, move around the nucleus. They are very light and determine how atoms bond.
What are the two types of mixtures
Homogenous and hetrogenous
What is homogenous
It is a mixture that is evenly mixed with eacother
What is hetrogenous
It is a mixture that does not evenly mix
What is a molecule
The smallest unit of a chemical substance that keeps all of its physical and chemical properties.
How is a molecule formed
When two or more atoms are held together by chemical bonds, behaving as a single unit
What is lattics
The highly ordered, repeating 3D arrangement of atoms, ions, or molecules within a crystal.
What is a solute
Is the substance that dissolves in liquid
