Matter

TermDefinition
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

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
