3. What do the three states of matter occupy? Mass and volume
4. Meaning of melting point: The temperature at which a substance starts to change from solid to liquid.
5. Meaning of freezing point: The temperature at which a substance starts to change from liquid to solid.
6. Meaning of boiling point: The temperature at which a substance starts to change from liquid to gas.
7. Melting point of ice: 0°C
8. Freezing point of water: 0°C
9. Boiling point of water: 100°C
10.
Evaporation Condensation Melting Freezing Boiling
State changes Liquid to gas Gas to liquid Solid to liquid Liquid to solid Liquid to gas
Heat energy Gain heat energy Lose heat energy Gain heat energy Lose heat energy Gain heat energy
Example Drying clothes Morning dew Ice-cream melts Making ice cube Heating a pot of water
11. Similarities between boiling and evaporation(2): -Both processes change from liquid to gas. -Both processes
gain heat energy.
12. Differences between boiling and evaporation(2): -Boiling produces bubbles while evaporation does not.
-Boiling happens throughout the liquid while evaporation happens at the surface of the liquid.
13. Meaning of electrical conductor: Material that lets electricity pass through it.
14. Example of electrical conductor: Copper wire, silver, gold, steel, sea water
15. Meaning of electrical insulator: Material that does not let electricity pass through it.
16. Example of electrical insulator: Plastic cover, rubber, glass, oil, diamond, dry wood
17. Meaning of thermal conductor: Material that lets heat pass through it.
18. Example of thermal conductor: Cooking pan
19. Meaning of thermal insulator: Material that does not let heat pass through it.
20. Example of thermal insulator: Cooking pan handle
21. Meaning of physical change: Change that occurs only in the physical properties of a substance. No new
substance is formed.
22. Meaning chemical change: Change that involves the formation of new substances.
23. Changes of states-Melting: Change of substance from solid state to liquid state.
24. Changes of states-Evaporation or boiling: Change of substance from liquid state to gaseous state.
25. Changes of states-Condensation: Change of substance from gaseous state to liquid state.
26. Changes of states-Freezing or solidification: Change of substance from liquid state to solid state.
27. Why is boiling water a physical change? This is because we can cool down the water through condensation.
28. Meaning of soluble: Substances that dissolve in liquids.
29. Meaning of insoluble: Substances that do not dissolve in liquids.
30. Meaning of solute: The substance being dissolved.
31. Meaning of solvent: The substance it’s dissolving into.
32. Meaning of solution: A mixture of a solute and solvent.
33. Name the parts with solvent & solute (1 has been done for u):
34. List 3 ways to make solid dissolve faster: - heat the solution - Stir it - Crush the solid into smaller pieces
