- Who was the first person to coin the term atomos?
- Democritus
- What does atomos mean in English?
- Unbreakable
- Who was the first person to show experimental evidence that atoms existed?
- Robert Boyle
- Matter
- Anything that has mass and occupies space
- Atom
- A particle that cannot be broken down, the basic unit of matter
- Molecule
- A particle made of atoms stuck together with chemical bonds
- Element
- A group of atoms (or sometimes molecules). All the atoms are identical (even within the molecules).
- Compound
- A group of molecules. All the molecules are identical. Within these molecules, there are more than 1 type of atm.
- Pure Substance
- A group of particles in which all the particles are identical
- Mixture
- A group of particles in which the particles are not identical
- Homogenous mixture
- A mixture that is the same throughout, uniform
- Heterogeneous mixture
- A mixture that is not the same throughout
- Filtration: separation by...
- Size
- Distillation: separation by...
- Boiling points
- Settling: separation by...
- Density
- What is the difference between evaporation and boiling?
- Evaporation is possible at many different temperatures and boiling only happens at a specific temperature.
- Solid to liquid
- Melting
- Liquid to gas
- Boiling
- Gas to liquid
- Condensation
- Liquid to solid
- Freezing
- What causes atoms to speed up?
- Heat
- What phase is compressible?
- Gas phase.
- What phase is the densest?
- Solid
- What phase has no definite shape?
- Liquid and gas
- What phase fills the container?
- Gas
- 4 indications of chemical change
-
Color change
Producing gas
Precipitation
Release of heat or light - Physical Property
- Characteristics of substances that differentiate them from one another.
- Chemical Property
- Substances react with one another and transforms the substances.
- Physical Change
- Physical properties have changed but the chemical composition remains the same.
- Chemical Change
- When chemical bonds are broken or formed.
-
Physical changes are reversible.
True or false. - True
- Heat
- It's the energy of moving particles
- Explain how the compressibility of gases supports the belief that matter is made out of atoms.
- If there was no empty space, compressing gas would not be possible
