Mix and flow of matter
Learning outcomes:
1 I can relate the behavior of mixtures to the particle model of matter
2.4 – The Particle Model of Matter and the Behavior of Mixtures
-

Particles are different sizes and when two substances are mixed, the
_______________________________________________________________.

The particle model also states that particles are attracted to each other.
Science 8

Mix and flow of matter
However, in some substances particles can be attracted more to particles in
other substances than to its own particles.
The speed at which the solute dissolves in a solvent is called the
_________________________ and can be affected by:


WHY???
Because all these things…
1. Cause more collisions
2. And more collisions means more contact.
3. And more contact means quicker, faster dissolving.
Create a diagram that: describes one of the following…
