- Particles are tightly packed in a fixed arrangement and vibrate in place.
- Particles are closely packed but can move past each other. (correct)
- Particles are widely spaced and move randomly at high speeds.
Diffusion occurs faster at lower temperatures due to the reduced kinetic energy of the particles.

Briefly explain the key difference between a mixture and a compound.
Briefly explain the key difference between a mixture and a compound.
In a mixture, substances are physically combined and retain their individual properties; in a compound, substances are chemically bonded in fixed ratios, forming a new substance with different properties.

Study Notes
- The following topics are covered: Kinetic Particle Theory, Elements, Mixtures and Compounds, Purification, Atomic Structure and Electronic Configuration, and The Periodic Table.
Kinetic Particle Theory
- Matter exists in three states: solid, liquid, and gas.
- States of matter are differentiated by the arrangement and movement of particles.
- Diffusion is the process by which particles mix due to their random motion.
- Factors such as temperature affect the rate of diffusion.
- Heating and cooling curves illustrate the changes in temperature and state of a substance as it is heated or cooled.
Elements, Mixtures, and Compounds
- Elements are pure substances consisting of only one type of atom.
- Elements can be classified as metals or non-metals.
- Mixtures are combinations of substances that are physically combined.
- Compounds are substances formed from two or more elements chemically bonded.
- Key differences exist between mixtures and compounds, including how they combine and can be separated.
- Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter, and molecules are formed when two or more atoms join together.
- Polyatomic ions are ions composed of multiple atoms.
- Specific rules dictate how ionic compounds are named.
Purification
- Filtration is a method used to separate solid particles from a liquid.
- Evaporation involves converting a liquid into a gas to separate it from a solute.
- Crystallization is a process where solid crystals are formed from a solution.
- Distillation is used to separate liquids with different boiling points.
- Chromatography is a technique used to separate substances based on their different properties.
Atomic Structure and Electronic Configuration
- Atoms consist of a nucleus containing protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons.
- The three main subatomic particles are protons, neutrons, and electrons.
- The number of protons, electrons, and neutrons can be calculated, as well as the atomic mass.
- Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons.
- Electronic structure and electronic configuration describe the arrangement of electrons within an atom.
- Ions acquire charges when they gain or lose electrons.
The Periodic Table
- Alkali metals are a group of elements found in the periodic table.
