Matter | Anything that has mass and takes up space. |
Chemistry | The study of matter and how matter changes. |
Substance | A single kind of matter that is pure, meaning it always has a specific make-up, or composition. |
Physical property | A characteristic of a substance that can be observed without changing it into another substance. |
Chemical Property | A characteristic of a substance that describes its ability to change into different substances. |
Atom | the basic particle that all elements are made of. |
Chemical bond | When atoms combine from more than one element |
Compound | A substance made of 2 or more elements that are combined in a set ratio |
Chemical Formula | Shows the elements that make the compound and the ratio or amount of atoms of each element. |
Mixture | made of 2 or more substances that are together in the same place, but their atoms have not chemically bonded |
Heterogeneous mixture | When a mixture is not the same throughout |
Homogenous mixture | When the mixture is the same throughout |
Weight | The measure of the force of gravity on you |
Mass | The amount of matter in the object |
SI | International unit of measure that scientists use. |
Volume | The amount of space that matter occupies. |
Density | How tightly packed the matter is in an object, compares the objects mass to its volume. Density formula D: M/V |
Physical Change | It alters the form or appearance of matter but does not turn any substance in the matter into a different substance. If a substance undergoes a physical change it is still the same substance after the change. |
Chemical Change | A change in matter that produces one or more new substances, also called a chemical reaction. |
Law of Conservation of Mass | Matter is not created or destroyed in any physical or chemical change only changed into something different. |
Thermal Energy | The total energy of the motion of all of the particles (atoms/molecules) in an object. (Heat Energy) |
Endothermic Change | A change in which energy is absorbed. |
Exothermic Change | A change in which energy is released. |
Chemical Energy | The energy stored in the chemical bonds between atoms is a form of energy. |
