Question | Answer |
---|---|
What is Chemistry? | The study of matter and energy and the interactions between them |
What are the 2 requirements for something to be classified as matter? | 1. It has mass. 2. It occupies space. |
What is energy? | The ability to do work |
Are forms of energy considered matter? Why or why not? | No, because they don't have mass |
What is mass? | The amount of matter in an object |
What is volume? | The amount of space an object occupies |
What is weight? | A type of force that depends on the gravitational force |
What is the difference between mass and weight? | Mass stays the same, and weight changes as the gravitational force changes. |

Is hardness a physical or chemical property? | Physical |
What happens during a physical change? | A substance changes its physical appearance but not its chemical composition |
What happens during a chemical change? | A substance changes into another substance by going through a chemical reaction |
What is an intensive property? | A physical property that doesn't depend on the quantity |
What is an extensive property? | A physical property that depends on the quantity |
What is a substance? | A material that is chemically the same throughout |
What is a pure substance? | Matter that has distinct properties, definite composition, and can't be separated into simpler substances by physical means |
