Study Notes

States of Matter

Diffusion is the process where particles mix and spread by colliding with other particles and bouncing off in all directions.
Diffusion takes place in liquids and gases.
Particles spread from where they are more concentrated until they are evenly mixed.
Atoms are the smallest particles that cannot be broken down further in chemical reactions.
Molecules are particles that consist of two or more atoms joined together.
Ions are atoms or groups of atoms that carry a charge.
Solid particles are arranged in a regular pattern or lattice and held together by strong forces. They can only vibrate to and fro.
Liquid particles can move about and slide past each other. They are close together but not in a lattice. The forces that hold them together are weaker than in a solid.
Gas particles are far apart and move about very quickly. They collide with each other and bounce off in all directions.
When a solid is heated, its particles gain energy and vibrate more, causing the solid to expand.
At the melting point, particles vibrate so much that they break away from their positions and the solid turns into a liquid.
Electron microscopes can be used to see images of atoms.
A solid has a fixed shape and volume, does not flow, and cannot be compressed.
A liquid flows easily, has a fixed volume, but changes shape to fit its container.
A gas does not have a fixed volume or shape, spreads out to fill its container, and is lighter than the same volume of solid or liquid.
Water can exist in three states: solid (ice), liquid (water), and gas (steam).

Seeing Atoms

Atoms cannot be seen through light microscopes, but images can be taken using electron microscopes.

Diffusion

Diffusion is the process where particles spread out from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration.
The smell of perfume travels across a room due to the diffusion of perfume particles in the air.

Particles

The three types of particles in chemistry are atoms, molecules, and ions.
An atom is the smallest unit of an element.
A molecule is formed when two or more atoms bond together.
An ion is an atom that has gained or lost electrons, giving it a positive or negative charge.
