QuestionAnswer
Pure Substance Matter that cannot be separated by physical means
Mixture Contains more than 1 kind of matter that can be separated by physical means
Elements One type of atom
Compounds Substance that contains more than one type of atom
Atom Smallest possible particle of an element
Molecule Smallest particle of the compound that retains the properties of the compound
Heterogeneous Mixture Composition is not uniform
Homogeneous Mixture Composition is uniform
What is a synonym for a homogeneous mixture? Solution
Law of Conservation of Mass In a chemical reaction mass is neither created nor destroyed
Law of Definite Proportions A given compound always contains exactly the same proportion of elements my mass
Law of Multiple Proportions When 2 elements form multiple compounds the ratios of elemental masses can always be reduced to small whole numbers
Solids Solids have definite shape, definite volume, mass, and take up space
Particles in Solids Are packed tightly together, have very little energy, vibrate in place
Liquids Liquids take the shape of their container, have definite volume, have mass, and take up space
Particles in Liquids Are loosely packed, have medium energy levels, flow around each other
Gases Spread out to fill the entire space given, do not have definite volume, have mass, take up space
Particles in Gases Move freely, have lots of energy
Endothermic Gain energy
Exothermic Lose energy
Chemical Property Any ability to produce a change in the identity of matter
Chemical Changes Occur when a substance reacts and forms one or more new substances
What are some chemical properties? Flammability, reactivity, corrosive
What are some chemical changes? Burning, corroding, molding, rusting, decaying, digesting
Physical Property A property that can be easily observed without changing the identity of the substance
What are some physical properties? Solubility, conductivity, malleability, melting, freezing, density
Physical Change A change in appearance, without changing the identity of the material
What are some physical changes? Sublimation, magnetizing, freezing, dissolving, trimming
Accuracy How close a single measurement comes to the actual dimension or true value of what is being measured
Precision How close several measurements are to the same value
How do you round to the correct value for addition or subtraction? Look for the least number of decimal places in the original equation
How do you round to the correct value for multiplication or division? Look for the least number of significant figures in the original equation
Metric Unit Prefixes Tera, giga, mega, kilo, hecto, deca, deci, centi, milli, micro, nano, pico
Density Formula Density = Mass / Volume
Kelvin to Celsius K = C + 273
Celsius to Kelvin C = K - 273
Sig Fig Rule 1/5 Every nonzero number is significant
Sig Fig Rule 2/5 Zeros in front of any numbers are not significant
Sig Fig Rule 3/5 Zeros in between any numbers are significant
Sig Fig Rule 4/5 Zeros after any numbers are significant if there's a decimal or a line over the number
Sig Fig Rule 5/5 Counted numbers and defined quantities have no sig figs

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.
