Matter
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Matter | Has mass and takes up space |
Pure substances | Cannot be separated by physical means into simpler substances |
Mixtures | Can be separated into components by physical means |
Elements | The simplest form of matter; cannot be chemically separated into a simpler substance |
Compounds | 2 or more elements, chemically combined |
Homogeneous mixture | Mixture in which the components are uniformly distributed throughout its volume and cannot be seen separately |
Heterogeneous mixture | Mixture in which the components are not uniformly distributed throughout its volume and can be easily seen separately. |
Is tea a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture? | Homogeneous mixture |
Is ice in water a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture? | Heterogeneous mixture |
Is fruit juice a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture? | Homogeneous mixture |
Is soupy noodles a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture? | Heterogeneous mixture |
Is medicine a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture? | Homogeneous mixture |
Is assorted candies a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture? | Heterogeneous mixture |
Is honey a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture? | Homogeneous mixture |
Is assorted dry fruits a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture? | Heterogeneous mixture |
Is milk a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture? | Homogeneous mixture |
Is soil a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture? | Heterogeneous mixture |
Is blood a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture? | Homogeneous mixture |
Is oil in water a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture? | Heterogeneous mixture |
Alloys | are a type of homogeneous mixture of different elements. |
Common types of alloys | Steel, Bronze, Brass |
Physical properties | describe characteristics of matter that identify the substance without changing its identity. |
Two kinds of physical properties | Extensive and Intensive properties |
Is boiling point an intensive or extensive property? | Intensive property |
Is volume an intensive or extensive property? | Extensive property |
Is color an intensive or extensive property? | Intensive property |
Is mass an intensive or extensive property? | Extensive property |
Is temperature an intensive or extensive property? | Intensive property |
Is size an intensive or extensive property? | Extensive property |
Is luster an intensive or extensive property? | Intensive property |
Is weight an intensive or extensive property? | Extensive property |
Is hardness an intensive or extensive property? | Intensive property |
Is length an intensive or extensive property? | Extensive property |
Extensive property | Depends on the amount of matter in the substance |
Intensive property | Does not depend on the amount of matter in the substance |
Density= | Mass/Volume |
5 properties of water | Polarity, Cohesion, Adhesion, Surface Tension, High Specific Heat, Evaporative Cooline |
Filtration | makes use of particle size |
Decanting | makes use of density; the denser substance sinks to the bottom of the beaker and is removed making filtration easier. |
Decantation of liquids | We can use decantation to separate two liquids with different density. |
Decantation of a sediment | We can also separate a liquid from heavy sediments that sink in the bottom of the container. |
Distillation | makes use of different boiling points in a mixture of miscible liquids There should be a minimum difference of 5 degrees Celsius. |
Chromatography | uses attractive forces in a stationary phase and a mobile phase. |
Crystallization | evaporating a solvent and leaving a solid solute behind |
Centrifugation | uses density and a centrifuge machine. |
Magnetism | Process in which a magnetically susceptible substance is separated from a mixture using a magnet. |
Physical Change | Change of matter that occurs without changing the chemical composition of matter; reversible |
Chemical change | Change of chemical composition of matter; irreversible |
Claim | statement you believe to be true that solves a scientific question or problem |
Evidence | Data or research you gathered, including observations, reading, videos, and other information |
Reasoning | shows how the evidence answers the question or solves a problem |
True or false: All nonzero digits are always significant zero's | True |
True or false: Leading zeros are never significant | True |
True or false: Leading zeros are significant | False |
True or false: Sandwiched zeros are always significant | True |
True or false: Sandwiched zeroes are never significant | False |
True or false: Trailing zeroes are significant if there is a decimal and are not significant if there is no decimal. | True |
