What are repeating groups of atoms?

Back

Repeating groups of atoms are clusters of atoms that form the basic structural units of a substance, determining its properties.

Front

How do the properties of substances relate to their atomic structure?

Back

The properties of substances, such as color, smell, and melting point, are influenced by the types and arrangements of atoms in their structure.

Front

What happens to the properties of two samples if their repeating groups of atoms are different?

Back

If the repeating groups of atoms are different, the properties of the two samples are likely to be different.

Front

What is the significance of the state of matter (solid, liquid, gas) in determining properties?

Back

The state of matter can influence properties like melting point and density, but the atomic structure is crucial for other properties.

Front

Can two substances have the same color but different properties?

Back

Yes, two substances can have the same color but different properties if their atomic structures are different.

Front

What is the relationship between the number of atoms in a repeating group and the properties of a substance?

Back

The number of atoms in a repeating group can affect properties such as melting point and reactivity.

Front

How can mixing substances lead to new properties?

Back

Mixing substances can create new compounds with different properties than the original substances due to chemical reactions.

Front

What is a chemical reaction?

Back

A chemical reaction is a process where substances (reactants) are transformed into new substances (products) with different properties.

Front

What is the role of atomic arrangement in chemical reactions?

Back

The arrangement of atoms in reactants determines how they interact and the products formed during a chemical reaction.

Front

What is an example of a property that can change during a chemical reaction?

Back

An example is color change; for instance, mixing a colorless gas and a colored liquid can produce a colored gas.
