What is the definition for volume? Amount of space an object occupies
How many phases of matter exist? 4
What phase of matter contains the most energy? Plasma
What state of matter has a definite volume but an indefinite shape? Liquid
What state of matter can the particles only vibrate? Solid
What word describes a solid that lacks internal structure, thus having some properties of a liquid? Amorphic or amorphous
What is the resistance of a liquid to flow? Viscosity
What two variables does Boyle's law take into consideration? Pressure and volume
What two variables does Charle's law take into consideration? Temperature and volume
What is the relationship between temperature and volume in Charle's law? Directly proportional
What is the relationship between pressure and volume in Boyle's law? Inversely proportional

What is the smallest unit of an element with properties of that element? Atom
How many elements occur naturally on Earth? approximately 90
The Law of Definite Proportions applies to what type of matter? What does it state? Elements present in a compound have to occur in fixed proportions.
What is the chemical formula for hydrochloric acid? HCl
Is milk souring a physical or chemical change? Chemical
Is stirring milk a physical or chemical change? Physical
Mixtures that look the same throughout are called what? Homogeneous mixtures
What are the three types of mixtures? Solution, suspension, and colloid
What type of mixture has the largest particle size? Thus, what will it do upon standing? Suspension; settle out
Is Raisin Bran cereal a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture? Heterogeneous
Your mom makes a pitcher of orange Kool-Aid and puts it in the refrigerator. Is this an example of a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture? Homogeneous
What is the ability of a substance to burn called? Flammability
What two types of mixtures exhibit the Tyndall effect? Colloids and some suspensions

What is the name of the theory explains how the particles in a gas behave? kinetic theory of matter
What is the term for vaporization that occurs only at the surface of a liquid? evaporation
During what phase change does a solid turn directly into a gas without forming a liquid? sublimation
What is the boiling point of water? 100 degrees Celsius
