Chapter 7 Test Study Guide


Here is the study guide for your upcoming Chapter 7 Test on Friday February 5th, 2016

  1. Classifying mixtures: 
    1. pure substances and mixtures
    2. heterogeneous mixtures (mechanical mixtures) and homogeneous mixtures (solutions)
    3. Provide examples of these substances
  2. Review the 6 points of the particle theory of matter
  3. Review the behaviour of particles in solids liquids and gases
  4. Review the 6 changes of state and the diagram in the package; review which changes of state require energy and which require energy to be removed to occur
  5. Understand how and why substances change state according the the particle theory
  6. Review the difference between heat and temperature
Key Terms

Three States of Matter Notes



SOLID

  • Solids have very low kinetic energy (the energy of movement)
  • The particles vibrate in place
  • Solids have a definite shape and volume (they cannot be compressed)
  • The particles are very close together
  • The particle attraction is very strong

LIQUID
  • Liquids have high kinetic energy
  • The particles are able to move past each other
  • Liquids take the shape of the container they are in (they do not have a definite shape)
  • Liquids have a definite volume (they cannot be compressed into a smaller space)
  • There are spaces between the particles
  • The particles have low particle attraction


GAS
  • Gases have very high kinetic energy
  • Gas particles move freely
  • The particles fill the space they are in (they do not have a definite shape or volume)
  • Gases CAN be compressed into smaller spaces
  • There are very large spaces between the particles
  • The particles have very low particle attraction

*** Kinetic energy increases as you move from SOLIDS to GASES

*** Particle attraction decreases as you move from SOLIDS to GASES
