Understandings● Atoms of different elements combine in fixed ratios to form compounds, which have different
properties from their component elements. Guidance Names and symbols of the elements are in the IB data booklet in Section 5. ● Mixtures contain more than one element and/or compound that are not chemically bonded together and so retain their individual properties. ● Mixtures are either homogeneous or heterogeneous. |
Applications and skills● Deduction of chemical equations when reactants and products are specified.
Guidance Balancing of equations should include a variety of types of reactions. ● Application of the state symbols (s), (l), (g), and (aq) in equations. ● Explanation of observable changes in physical properties and temperature during changes of state. Guidance ● Names of the changes of state – melting, freezing, vaporization (evaporation and boiling), condensation, sublimation and deposition – should be covered. ● The term ‘latent heat’ is not required. |

Energy changes between states of matterThis video is reminding you of the states of matter and the energy changes involved in the state changes. It also explains what states substances are at room temperature and why, which is key to identify states symbols for reactants and products in symbol equations.
