Question | Answer |
---|---|
matter | anything that takes up space and has mass |
substance | element or compound hat cannot be broken down into simples components without losing the properties of the original substance |
element | substance with atoms that are alike |
compound | substance in which the atoms of two or more elements are combined in a fixed proportion |
heterogenous mixture | substance in which the different compounds are easily changed |
homogenous mixture | substance containing two or more compounds or components that are blended uniformanlly |
suspension | heterogenous mixture containing a loquid, and in which visible particles slowlyy settle due to gravity |
colloid | heterogenous mixture whose particles never settle |
Tyndall effect | tendency for a beam of light to scatter as it passes through a colloid |
melting point | temperature at which a solid begins o melt |
boiling point | temperature at which the pressure of the vapor of a liquid is equal to the external of the vapor of a liquid is equal to the external pressure acting on the surface of a liquid |
viscosity | a fluid resisting to flowing |
solubility | maximum amount of a solute that can be dissolved in a given amount of solvent at a given temperature |
solute | in a solution, the substance in which the solute is dissolved |
solution | homogenous mixture, remains constantly and uniformly mixed and has particles that are so small they cannot be seen without a telescope |
density | mass per unit volume of a material |
oxidation | the loss of electrons from the atoms of a substance in a chemical reaction |
chemical reaction | process in which one or more substances are changed into a new substances are changed into a new substance |
physical property | any characteristic of a material |
chemical property | any characteristic of a substance |
chemical change | change of one substance into another |
temperature | measure of the average kinetic energy of all the particles that make up an object |
plasma | matter with enough energy to overcome the attractive force within its atoms |
heat of fusion | amount of energy required to change a substance from the soil phase to the liquid |
heat of evaporation | amount of energy it takes for a liquid to boil |
evaporation | the processs of turning liquid into gas |
law of conservation of mass | states that the mass of all substances present before a chemical change equals that mass of all the substances remaining after the change |
