The Particle Theory
Labs
100

Anything that takes up space and has mass

Matter

100

A state of matter with a definite volume and a definite shape

Solid

100

Matter that contains only one kind of particle

Pure Substance

100

True or false: All matter is made up of tiny particles

True

100

Is a black marker a pure substance or a mixture? How do you know?

Mixture - when water is added, you can see all the different dyes used

200

An explanation of what matter is made up of and how it behaves

The Particle Theory

200

A state of matter that does not have a definite volume or a definite shape, it takes the shape of its container

Gas

200

Matter that contains two or more pure substances mixed together

Mixture

200

True or False - The second part of the Particle Theory State that particles have empty spaces between them

True

200

Salt dissolves fastest in what temperature of water? Use the particle Theory to explain.

Hot Water - Particles spread further apart when heated

300

The study of Matter and its Changes

Chemistry

300

A mixture with different parts that you can see

Heterogeneous Mixture

300

A measure of the quality of space occupied by an object

Volume

300

What is the Third law or the Particle Theory?

Even though you cannot see them, particles are moving randomly all the time

300

When salt dissolves in water - where do the salt particles go? Use the Particle Theory to explain.

Particles have empty spaces beween them - the salt particels go between the water particles 

400

The larger part of a solution; the part of a solution into which the Solutes Dissolve.

Solvent

400

The smaller part of a solution; the part of a solution that dissolves in the solvent

Solute

400

A mixture that looks like a single pure substance; a uniform mixture of two or more pure substances

Homogeneous Mixture

400

What is the Fourth Law of the Particle Theory? 

Particles move faster and spread farther apart when they are heated.

400

What happens to the Mass of a solid when it is turned into a liquid? Use the particle theory to explain.

The mass of a solid does not change when converted into a liquid - Particles move farther apart when heated and therefore behave differently

500

All particles are the same type of Molecule

Compound

500

All particles are the same type of atom

Element

500

To mix one type of matter into another type of matter to form a solution

Dissolve
500

What is the Fifth Law of the Particle Theory?

Particles attract each other, so they tend to stay together rather than fly apart.

500

What happens when you place drops of food coloring in water without Stirring? Use the Particle Theory to Explain.

The food coloring and water particles mix together even without stirring because particles are moving randomly all the time.
