Atoms, Elements, Compounds, and Mixtures
This page delves into the fundamental building blocks of matter: atoms, elements, compounds, and mixtures. It provides clear definitions and distinctions between these concepts.
The page begins by stating that all matter is made up of atoms, which are small particles that cannot be directly seen. It then defines an element as a substance containing only one type of atom, emphasizing that different elements have distinct properties.
Definition: An element is a substance containing only one type of atom, and different elements have distinct properties.
The concept of compounds is introduced as substances made of atoms from different elements bonded together. The page highlights that compounds usually have completely different properties from the elements they are composed of. It also defines a molecule as two or more atoms bonded together.
Highlight: Compounds usually have completely different properties from the elements they are made up of.
Mixtures are described as substances made of two or more elements or compounds that are not chemically bonded to each other. The page notes that mixtures can be separated by physical methods and retain the properties of their constituent substances.
Example: A mixture of salt and water retains properties of both salt and water, and can be separated by evaporation.
The page also touches on the different states of matter in relation to these concepts, reinforcing the connection between atomic structure and macroscopic properties of matter.
Vocabulary: A molecule is defined as two or more atoms bonded together.
This comprehensive overview provides a solid foundation for understanding the basic principles of atomic structure and composition of matter, which is crucial for further studies in chemistry and physics.
States of Matter: Gases, Solids, and Liquids
This page provides a comprehensive overview of the three main states of matter: gases, solids, and liquids. It focuses on the particle behavior, arrangement, and properties of each state.
The characteristics of gases are described in detail. Gases have particles that move quickly in all directions, are far apart, and have very weak forces of attraction between them. This results in gases having no definite shape, being easily compressed, and having low density.
Highlight: Gases have particles that move quickly in all directions, are far apart, and have very weak forces of attraction between them.
Liquids are presented as having particles that can move around each other and flow easily. The forces of attraction between particles in a liquid are weak, but stronger than in gases. Liquids have a definite volume but no definite shape, and they are not easily compressed.
Definition: Liquids have a definite volume but no definite shape, and they are not easily compressed due to the weak forces of attraction between particles.
Solids are described as having particles very close together with strong forces of attraction between them. This results in solids having a definite shape and volume, being very dense, and not easily compressed. The particles in solids can only vibrate in fixed positions.
Example: A solid, like a rock, maintains its shape due to the strong forces of attraction between its particles, which are arranged in a regular pattern.
The page also touches on the concept of changes of state, indicating that matter can transition between these states under certain conditions.
Vocabulary: Forces of attraction refer to the intermolecular forces that hold particles together in different states of matter.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

Best app on earth! no words because it’s too good

Just amazing. Let's me revise 10x better, this app is a quick 10/10. I highly recommend it to anyone. I can watch and search for notes. I can save them in the subject folder. I can revise it any time when I come back. If you haven't tried this app, you're really missing out.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

In school I was really bad at maths but thanks to the app, I am doing better now. I am so grateful that you made the app.

very reliable app to help and grow your ideas of Maths, English and other related topics in your works. please use this app if your struggling in areas, this app is key for that. wish I'd of done a review before. and it's also free so don't worry about that.

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.

THE QUIZES AND FLASHCARDS ARE SO USEFUL AND I LOVE THE SCHOOLGPT. IT ALSO IS LITREALLY LIKE CHATGPT BUT SMARTER!! HELPED ME WITH MY MASCARA PROBLEMS TOO!! AS WELL AS MY REAL SUBJECTS ! DUHHH 😍😁😲🤑💗✨🎀😮
Elisha

This apps acc the goat. I find revision so boring but this app makes it so easy to organize it all and then you can ask the freeeee ai to test yourself so good and you can easily upload your own stuff. highly recommend as someone taking mocks now
