Vocab Term
Definition
Pure Substance   any element or compound, a substance is the same throughout and has a fixed chemical composition  
🗑
Mixture   two or more substances mixed together without being chemically combined. The substances can be separated without a chemical reaction.  
🗑
Physical Properties   a substance's color, odor, density, melting point and boiling point, ductility, and conductivity  
🗑
Chemical Properties   the ability of a substance to react with other substances  
🗑
Periodic Table   a chart of elements arranged by their atomic number (the number of protons in their nucleus)  
🗑
Periods   rows that begin with atoms containing one valence electron and end with atoms with a complete outer shell containing 8 electrons  
🗑
Groups   members have similar chemical and physical properties  
🗑
Solids   atoms, ions, and molecules are locked into fixed positions, giving the substance a fixed volume and shape  
🗑
Liquids   when energy is transferred to a substance, its particles start to move around melting the solid, this has volume, but no fixed shape  
🗑
Gases   if more heat is applied to a liquid, its particles will move more rapidly, breaking all connections and turn into this  
🗑
Acid   a special type of compound that forms hydrogen ions when dissolved in water, they taste tart or sour  
🗑
Base   a special type of compound that forms hydroxide ions in water, they taste bitter and are slippery  
🗑
Acid/Base Reactions   combine to produce a water and a salt  
🗑
Displacement   a change in an object's position  
🗑
Distance   the total length moved by the object  
🗑
Velocity   the rate and direction an object moves  
🗑
Acceleration   the change in an object's velocity (measured m/s/s)  
🗑
Momentum   mass multiplied by velocity  
🗑
Friction   a force from rubbing surfaces that opposes motion  
🗑
First Law of Motion   also called the Law of Inertia- an object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion at the same velocity unless an unbalanced force acts upon it  
🗑
Second Law of Motion   the net force acting on a body equals its mass times acceleration  
🗑
Third Law of Motion   for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction  
🗑
Energy   the ability to do work  
🗑
Kinetic Energy   the energy of motion  
🗑
Potential Energy   stored energy  
🗑
Law of Conservation of Energy   energy can change its form, but its total quantity is always conserved  
🗑
Thermal Energy   a form of kinetic energy, basedon the vibrations and movements of atoms and molecules  
🗑
Temperature   a measure of the average kinetic energy of an object's particles; the higher the temperature, the greater their movement  
🗑
Heat   a transfer of energy from an object with a higher temperature to one with a lower temperature  
🗑
Nuclear Fission   splitting of nuclei of large atoms, releasing nuclear energy  
🗑
Nuclear Fusion   the joining together of nuclei of small atoms- hydrogen into helium- also releasing nuclear energy  
🗑
Chain Reaction   when a nucleus splits, its extra neutrons split other nuclei, releasing more energy and nuclei, splitting even more nuclei  
🗑
Nuclear Reactions OR Conservation of Mass and Energy   in nuclear reactions, small amounts of matter are converted into large amounts of energy  
🗑
Mechanical Waves   seismic, water, or sound passing through a medium; particles of medium pass along the energy of the wave  
🗑
Electromagnetic Radiation   can pass through some forms of matter but do not require it; can pass through a vacuum or outer space; includes invisible waves as well as visible light  
🗑
Refraction   a wave bends when passing through a different medium  
🗑
Reflection   waves bouncing back  
🗑
Diffraction   waves bending around  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
