P1

We are in the process of collating notes, sorry for any inconvenience.
In the meantime, we have provided a simple overview:
​
Particle model:
Dalton- atoms= small indestructible spheres
Thompson- positive sphere with electrons embedded in it.
Rutherford- Small nucleus of positive charge surrounded by cloud of electrons.
                      Derived from gold foil experiment.
​
Density = Mass/ volume. How tightly packed together molecules are in a substance
Specific heat capacity- amount of energy required to increase the temperature by 1 degree Celsius of 1kg of a substance
Specifc latent heat- amount of energy required to change the state of 1kg of a substance
​
Pressure - force/area   --in gases, frequency of collisions with surface
Pressure is inversely proportional to volume 
Pressure is proportional to temperature.
Liquid pressure- density of liquid and depth under liquid determine pressure as greater force is being                                  exerted over same area.
