Matter
Question | Answer |
---|---|
mass | -amount of material in a substance -measured with a balance |
matter | -anything that has mass and volume -three states: gas, liquid, solid |
solid | -has a definite volume and a definite shape |
gas | -has no definite volume and no definite shape |
melting | -changing a solid into a liquid |
freezing | -changing a liquid into a solid |
volume | -amount of space an object or a substance takes up |
condensation | -changing gas into liquid |
vaporization | -changing liquid to gas |
atoms | -small particles that make up all matter |
chemical change | -when atoms from two or more elements or compounds combine to form a new substance -digesting food -burning wood in fireplace |
compound | -new substance formed by combining atoms of different elements -every molecule of a compound is chemically identical |
physical change | -a change in matter that does not form a new substance -cutting a piece of paper with scissors -heating a marshmallow over a fire |
mixture | -two or more substances that are physically combined -particles are dissolved or spread evenly throughout a mixture |
solvent | - substance that dissolves another substance water |
solute | -substance that is dissolved |
solubility | -ability of a solvent to dissolve a certain amount of a solute |
concentration | -amount of solute that is dissolved in the solvent |
graduated container | -used to measure the volume of a liquid |
water displacement | -can be used to find the volume of solids |
density | -measures the amount of matter in a certain volume |
liquid | -has a definite volume but not a definite shape |
physical property | -characteristic of a substance that can be observed without changing the identity of the substance |
solution | -a mixture in which all the substances are spread evenly throughout |
element | -matter made up of only one kind of atom |
molecule | -formed when an atom joins with another atom |
How is weight different from mass? | -Mass measures the amount of matter, but weight measures the amount of force gravity exert on the matter. |
When does evaporation happen? | -when a substance changes from a liquid to a gas at a temperature below its boiling point |
How is physical change different from a chemical change? | -A physical change does not form a new substance, but a chemical change does. |
