Questions and Answers

What is a pure substance?

  • A pure substance is only found in gases.
  • A pure substance is a combination of different substances where each keeps its own properties.
  • A pure substance can be a mechanical mixture.
  • A pure substance is made up of only one kind of particle. (correct)

    • What is the difference between a solution and a mechanical mixture?

  • A solution can only be formed with water, while a mechanical mixture can be formed with any liquid.
  • A solution has larger particles than a mechanical mixture.
  • A solution contains only liquids, while a mechanical mixture can contain solids and liquids.
  • A solution is evenly mixed, while a mechanical mixture has visible parts. (correct)

    • What are particles according to the text?

  • Particles are the tiny bits that make up everything, like atoms and molecules. (correct)
  • Particles do not have spaces between them.
  • Particles are always visible to the naked eye.

    Study Notes

    Pure Substances

    • Pure substances consist of only one type of particle, having a uniform and definite composition.
    • Examples of pure substances include elements (like gold or oxygen) and compounds (like water or sodium chloride).

    Solutions vs. Mechanical Mixtures

    • Solutions are homogeneous mixtures where one substance is dissolved evenly in another, leading to a uniform appearance (e.g., saltwater).
    • Mechanical mixtures are heterogeneous combinations where different substances retain their own properties and can be distinguished (e.g., salad or sand and salt).

    Particles

    • Particles refer to the small constituents that make up matter, which can be atoms, molecules, or ions.
    • Particles are too small to be seen with the naked eye but play a crucial role in the physical and chemical properties of substances.

    State of Matter

    • The liquid state of matter takes both the shape and volume of its container, conforming to its shape while maintaining a fixed volume.

    Particle Theory of Matter

    • The particle theory of matter posits that all matter is composed of tiny particles that are in constant motion.
    • This theory explains the properties of solids, liquids, and gases based on the spacing, arrangement, and movement of these particles.
    • As temperature increases, particle movement intensifies, influencing states of matter.
