    Describe the arrangement and movement of solids.

    Particles are close together in a regular pattern and a fixed shape vibrating o the spot. (highest density)

    Describe the arrangement and movement of liquids?

    Particles are close but not in a regular pattern, spread to take the shape of container, allowing them to slide over each other. (medium density)

    How do gases differ from solids and liquids?

    Gases have widely spread particles that move freely and can be compressed.(lowest density)

    What does soluble mean?

    A substance can dissolve in a solvent.

    What does insoluble mean?

    It will not dissolve in a solvent.

    What is a solution?

    A mixture of a solute and a solvent that is clear and evenly distributed.

    What happens during the process of dissolving?

    A solute breaks down into tiny particles and mixes evenly with a solvent.

    What is solubility?

    It measures how much solute can dissolve in a solvent.

    What does saturated mean in terms of solutions?

    A solvent cannot dissolve any more solute.

    What is the process of obtaining salt from salty water?

    Crystallisation involves evaporating water to leave salt crystals.

    How does simple distillation work?

    It separates substances based on different boiling points. the water will evaporate then be condensed back by the condenser

    What is chromatography used for?

    To separate coloured substances in a mixture based on solubility. The more soluble inks will travel further up the paper. pure substances will have regions if same colour.

    Why can't permanent pens be used in chromatography?

    They are insoluble in water and won't move up the paper. Use acetone or ethanol if using permanent markers as they are soluble in them.

    What is filtration?

    A method to separate insoluble solids from liquids. Filtration wouldn't work to separate soluble solids as they would just go through the filter paper with the water

    Define an element.

    A pure substance made of only one type of atom.

    What distinguishes a compound from a mixture?

    Compounds are chemically bonded atoms , while mixtures are not.

    What happens during a chemical change?

    New substances are formed through the rearrangement of atoms.

    What is a sign of a chemical reaction?

    Change in color , temperature change, production of sounds, chang tin smell, emission of light or production of gas.

    What are reactants and products?

    The starting substances in a chemical reaction. The substances formed in a reaction.

    What does the law of conservation of mass state?

    Mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.

    Why does temperature change during a chemical reaction?

    Heat energy is either released or absorbed.

    What characterizes exothermic reactions?

    They release heat and increase temperature.

    What happens during oxidation?

    A substance gains oxygen, often increasing its mass.

    What is combustion?

    A reaction where a fuel burns in oxygen to release heat and light energy.

    What is the effect of thermal decomposition on mass?

    Mass decreases as gases escape during the breakdown of a compound.

    What are independent, dependent, and control variables?

    Independent is changed, dependent is measured, and control is kept constant.

    What is the fire triangle?

    Oxygen, fuel, and heat are needed for combustion.

    What happens in a Physical Change?

    Substance has just changed form or state , no new substance is produced

    What characterizes endothermic reactions?

    They absorb heat and decrease in temperature

    Word equations for oxidations

    Sodium + Oxygen --> Sodium Oxide (solid) Carbon + Oxygen --> Carbon Dioxide (gas)

    Hydrocarbons

    A substance made of only hydrogen and carbon

    Word equation for hydrocarbons

    Hydrocarbon + Oxygen--> water + Carbon Dioxide

    Anhydrous copper sulphate turns blue from white when?

    When water is present

    Lime water turns cloudy when?

    In the presence of carbon dioxide

    What percentage of oxygen is in the air?

    20.95%

    Thermal Decomposition

    A endothermic reaction where a compound breaks down into more simper substances

    Thermal Decompistion word equations

    Copper carbonat + oxygen --> Copper oxide + carbon dioxide Zinc Carbonate + oxygen --> zinc oxide + carbon dioxide
