Term | Definition |
---|---|
ELEMENT | Pure substance composed of the same type of atom throughout. |
CHEMICAL CHANGE | Change that alters the identity of a substance resulting in a new substance or substances with different properties. |
PHYSICAL CHANGE | Change to a substance that occurs without forming a new substance, such as a change in size or state of matter. |
CHEMICAL PROPERTY | Characteristic that can only be observed or measured when atoms of matter rearrange during a chemical change. |
PHYSICAL PROPERTY | Characteristic that can be observed or measured without changing the substance; for example, color, melting point, or conductivity. |
COMPOUND | Substance made of 2 or more elements that are chemically combined in fixed amounts. |
PROPERTIES | Physical & chemical characteristics of matter used to describe or identify a substance. |
STATES OF MATTER | Distinct forms of matter known in everyday experience: solid, liquid, & gas; also referred to as phases. |
PRODUCTION OF HEAT OR LIGHT | Evidence of release of energy during a chemical change. |
PRODUCTION OF PRECIPITATE | Evidence of a new substance formed from a chemical change, resulting in solid particles that form or separate out of a liquid. |
PRODUCTION OF GAS | Evidence of a new substance formed from a chemical change. |
SUBSTANCE | Any form of matter that is uniform throughout & has consistent properties. |
COLOR CHANGE | Change in the way something reflects light, can indicate a chemical change. |
TEMPERATURE CHANGE | Increase or decrease of heat energy in a substance may be evidence of a new substance formed during a chemical change. |
MATTER | Anything that has mass & takes up space. |
