What is the first step?
Observe
Systematic Study of the universe to produce observations, inferences, and models
Science
Uniform Appearance
Homogenous
- The temperature at which it changes from a solid to a liquid.
- The temperature at which it changes from a liquid to a solid.
- The temperature at which it changes from a liquid to a gas.
- melting point
- freezing point
- boiling point
what are the 4 states of matter?
plasma, gas, liquid, and solid
What is the second step?
The study of non-living things
Physical Science
non-uniform appearance
heterogenous
a process in which a liquid substance changes into a gas state at a temperature below its boiling point. continues until all of the liquid has been converted into gas
evaporation
Physical property vs. Physical change
What is the third step?
Perform experiments
Describes why something is happening
Law
pure substance containing atoms of 2 or more different elements
compound
a process in which a solid substance changes directly into a gas state without first becoming a liquid. Temperature and Pressure play a role.
Sublimation
Chemical property vs. Chemical change
what is the fourth step?
Analyze data
Gives an explanation of why something might happen
Theory
material made of only one kind of element or compound
pure substance
a phase change in which a gas substance changes into a liquid state. Occurs when the temperature of a gas is lowered below its dew point, at which point the molecules become strong enough to cause them to come closer together and form a liquid. A common occurrence in nature and can be seen in different phenomena.
Condensation
Exothermic vs. Endothermic
What happens to bonds and energy in each?
Exothermic is the release of energy and breaking of bonds
Endothermic is the formation of bonds that requires energy
what is the fifth step?
draw conclusions based on data
every effect has a specific, identifiable cause, and for every cause, there is a definite and predictable effect
Law of Cause & Effect
The simplist of pure substances. Consists of atoms with the same atomic number
a phase change in which a gas substance changes into a solid state without fist passing through the liquid state. Occurs when the temperature of a gas is lowered below its sublimation point, at which point the molecules become strong enough to cause them to come closer together and form a solid.
Deposition
Describe the particle model
Particle Model: The states of matter are determined by the relationship between the kinetic energy (energy of motion) of the particles and the attractive forces between them.
