STATE OF MATTER ?

Matter is classify in two type:

Elements is the simplest form of matter which can not be changed further by chemical or physical methods. An ATOM is the simplest form of an element, some elements is a MOLECULE.

Compound contain two or more different elements in a chemically combined form. The simplest form of a compound is a molecule.Those molecules that consist of charged ions with opposite charges are called IONIC. The other type of molecules are called COVALENT and do not consist of ions.

Elements consist same type atom


See example of ELEMENTS

SYMBOL	COMMON ELEMENTS	TYPE OF ELEMENTS
Cl2	Chlorine	molecule
Ar	Argon	atom
Ne	Neon	atom
Xe	Xenon	atom
H2	Hydrogen	molecule
Mg	Magnesium	atom
Na	Sodium	atom
O2	Oxygen	molecule

Compound consist different type of atom and chemically combined.

See example of COMPOUND

SYMBOL	COMMON COMPOUNDS	TYPE
H2O	water	covalent / molecule
CO2	carbon dioxide	covalent / molecule
NH3	ammonia	covalent / molecule
NaCl	sodium chloride (Table Salts)	ionic / ion
MgO	magnesium oxide	ionic / ion
Fe2O3	iron oxide (Rust)	ionic / ion
HCl	hydrogen chloride	polar covalent / molecule

DIFFUSION

Tak susah pun topik ni...tapi ramai students misconcept / cuai / confused (keliru) ... lebih teruk lagi tak paham soalan untuk jawab soalan tentang part ni.

Konsep Asas - kita kena paham konsep "pergerakan zarah"(particles movement) dan "ruang"(space).

What is Diffusion ? [ Apa itu proses resapan]

Situation I

Pada waktu tengahari sedang anda melayan facebook di bilik bacaan. Anda terhidu sesuatu bau di bilik anda.. Berbau wangi, sedap menusuk hidung sehingga berbunyi perut anda kerana lapar. Bau tersebut datangnya dari dapur, bau masakan kari kepala ikan...Mak yang masak.

Adakah anda sedari proses resapan (diffusion process) berlaku dalam situasi di atas?

" Bau masakan kari di dapur merebak hingga ke bilik bacaan"

"The smell of curry cooking in the kitchen spreads to the study room"

Smell travel in the air by diffusion process. Molecules move randomly and freely in the air. Remember, molecules always moving, some molecules leave the curry as it is cooking. Molecules released when curry heated over.

These tiny molecules of curry travel through the air throughout the house-study room to our noses. If the wind is blowing, there will be more mixing of the molecules in the air, and molecules of curry can travel farther apart to other places. The molecules move randomly "from concentrated area(region) to less concentrated area(region)".

REMEMBER : Molecules* move randomly/freely from high concentrated region to low concentrated region.

* Air molecules

INGATLAH : Molekul bergerak secara rawak dan bebas dari kawasan berkepekatan tinggi ke kawasan berkepekatan rendah.
