What makes an element an element? Elements are made up of only one kind of atom
The properties of a solid... particles are densely packed and have strong forces (vibrate)
Absolute zero is... ...the temperature at which particles do not move (- 273°)
What is diffusion when a substance moves from an area of high concentration into an area of low concentration
What is distillation? the process of heating a mixture (with a liquid) to separate two elements by evaporating the other
What are sub-atomic particles? protons, neutrons, electrons (particles found in an atom)
what are isotopes? atoms of the same element but with different numbers of neutrons
