Question | Answer |
---|---|
anything that has mass and takes up space | Matter |
a characteristic of a substance that can be observed | property |
a property that can be observed without changing the identity of the substance | physical property |
the temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid at a given pressure water=0'C | melting point |
the temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid at a given pressure water=100'C | boiling point |
a property that can only be observed by changing the identity of the substance | chemical properties |
is the amount of mass per unit of volume(can be used to identity a substance) | Density |
not easily compressed, rigid, doesn't flow easily, retains a fixed volume or shape | Solid |
flows easily, takes shape of the container which it occupies, little free space between particle | Liquid |
compressible, lots of free space between particles, particles can move past one another, assumes the shape and volume of its container | Gas |
smallest unit of matter | Atom |
number of protons in an atom of a given element | Atomic Number |
number of protons plus the number of neutrons in an atom | Atomic Mass |
center of the atom that has the proton and neutrons (heaviest part of the atom) | Nucleus |
positive subatomic particle in the nucleus | Proton |
neutral subatomic particle in the nucleus | Neutron |
negative subatomic particle that is around the outside of the nucleus | Electron |
ability to be flattened into a sheet, bendable | malleability |
ability to be stretched into a wire | ductility |
ability to react with another substance | reactivity |
horizontal rows on periodic table | period |
vertical columns on periodic table | groups |
temperature where solid turns to liquid | melting point |
temperature where liquid turns to gas | boiling point |
a change that occurs without changing the identity of the substance | physical change |
a change that occurs by changing the identity of the substance | chemical change |
when 2 or more substance are combined physically | mixture |
when 2 or more substances are combined chemically and can't be separated by physical means | compound |
a change that occurs without changing the identity of the substance | physical change |
a change that occurs by changing the identity of the substance | chemical change |
when 2 or more substance are combined physically | mixture |
when 2 or more substances are combined chemically and can't be separated by physical means | compound |
parts are mixed evenly throughout (same) | Homogeneous mixture |
parts are uneven throughout (different) | Heterogeneous mixture |
type of mixture where the solute is dissolved/mixed evenly in the solvent | Solution |
the part of the solution that dissolves | solute |
the part of the solution that the solute dissolves in | solven |
