The wave patterns seen in Figures 19.4 and 19.5 are composed of circles. What does this tell you about the speed of waves moving in different directions?
CHAPTER ONE: ATOMS MATTER Matter – anything that takes up space and has mass Composed of particles Structure determines the properties Atoms are the building blocks of matter 2+ atoms = molecule Early ideas of matter - Leucippus and Democritus – first to propose the definition of matter - John Dalton – evidence supported Leucippus and Democritus States of Matter Solid - Atoms/molecules pack closely together - Vibrate but don’t move past each other - Fixed volume/shape Liquid - Atoms/molecules pack close but able to move past each other - Fixed volume but no fixed shape - Assume shape of container Gas - A lot of space between atoms/molecules - No fixed volume/shape - Free movement - ill all available space - Compressible Elements, Compounds, and Mixtures Matter is classified based on its composition Pure substance - One component/composition does not vary from one sample to another - Composed of individual atoms or a group of atoms - Elements or compounds - Can be broken down/decomposed Mixtures - Compounds of 2+ particles that varies from one sample to another - Heterogeneous o Composition varies o Contains multiple substances that can be seen - Homogenous o Same composition throughout Scientific Approach to Knowledge Based on obser
