Term
solid
Definition
is hard to compress as molecules are held tightly together by bonds
Term
liquids
Definition
difficult to compress as there is only a small space between molecules
Term
gases
Definition
easy to compress as moving around faster
Term
thermometer
Definition
works as the bulb expands easily pushing liquid up the thin tube
Term
rails
Definition
have expansion joints so they don't bend in the heat
Term
water
Definition
expands when it is frozen
Term
fair test
Definition
when all the variables are held equal eg. temp, volume
Term
reliability
Definition
repeating tests to check for variability
Term
control
Definition
treated the same as all the samples not exposed to variables
Term
filtration
Definition
separating out undissolved particles from a liquid

magnesium oxide
Term
non metals
Definition

solid eg carbon, sulphur, iodine

liquid eg bromine

dull and brittle

most don't conduct electricity and heat they are insulators

able to combine with oxygen to form oxides which dissolve in water to form acids

Term
hydrogen
Definition

has physical properties of a non metal

has chemical properties of a metal has atomic number of 1

combines with oxygen to form a liquid oxide which is neutral

Term
metals
Definition

all solid

shiny

bendy

conduct electricity and heat

can combine with oxygen to form solid oxides called bases

Term
indicators
Definition
substances that change their colour when they come in contact with a particular substance
Term

Definition

turns red when added to acids

turns blue when added to alkalis

does not change colour when added to neutral liquids
