Chemistry
  1. States of matter
    1. Solid- A solid holds or keeps its shape. The particles are tightly packed together and has minimal movement
      1. Liquid- forms a pool not a pile. Takes shape of any container it is put in. Paricles are less tightly packed and move around a bit
        1. Gas- Will escape from any container that is not sealed. The particles are spread out ansd can move around a lot
          1. 4 processes: Melting evaporation condensing freezing
            1. Condensing is from a gas to liquid.
              1. Freezing is liquid to solid
                1. Melting is solid to liquid
                  1. Evaporation- is when a liquid goes to gas
                  2. Separating mixtures
                    1. Pure substance is made up of the same atoms
                      1. A mixture contains elements and/or compounds that are not chemically joined together. You can use physical processes to separate them into different substances
                        1. Chromotography- separates liquids of different colours
                          1. Distillation- separates liquids with different boiling points
                            1. Filteration- separates a solid from liquid
                            2. Pure substances have a sharp melting point. Mixtures have a range of melting points
                              1. Filters can be used to separate some mixtures. They let smaller pieces or liquids through but trap bigger pieces or insoluble substances
                                1. Inks, paints and foods often contain mixtures of coloured compounds. Chromatography is used to find out which coloured compounds a mixture contains
                                  1. Rf value
                                    1. Rf stands for retention factor. We can work out the Rf value using this equation
                                      1. Rf- Distance moved by the spot/ Distance moved by the solvent
                                  2. Distillation
                                    1. Distillation can be used to separate compounds with different boiling points. This includes a liquid from dissolved solids and different liquids
                                      1. Simple distillation evaporates the solvent away leaving the solute. The vapour is then condensed and collested
                                      2. Atomic structure
                                        1. Protons have a positive charge
                                          1. Neutrons have no charge at all
                                            1. Electrons have a negative charge
                                              1. Atoms in element always have equal numbers of protons and electrons and so have no overall charge, because charges cancel each other out
                                                1. Isotopes- More atoms of the same element, they have the same atomic number but have different mass nuber
                                                  1. Top number is the mass number. And the bottom number is the atomic number.
