🗑
density   The mass per unit volume of an object.  
🗑
element   A pure substance that consists of atoms with the same atomic number.  
🗑
gas   The state of matter in which particles are far apart, move rapidly, and have little interaction with each other.  
🗑
heterogeneous mixture   A mixture that does not have a uniform appearance since the combined substances are unevenly distributed.  
🗑
homogeneous mixture   A mixture that has a uniform appearance throughout; also known as a solution, especially of a solid dissolved in a liquid.  
🗑
law of definite proportions   The law that states that the masses of chemical substances combine in definite, characteristic integer ratios when forming compounds.  
🗑
liquid   The state of matter in which particles are close together but able to move around.  
🗑
mass   The measure of the amount of matter in an object.  
🗑
matter   Anything that has mass and occupies space.  
🗑
mixture   A physical combination of two or more substances in a changeable ratio.  
🗑
molecule   A particle consisting of two or more atoms covalently bonded together.  
🗑
particle model of matter   A model that states that all physical matter exists in the form of particles.  
🗑
plasma   A gas-like state of matter, formed at very high temperatures, that consists of high-energy ions and free electrons.  
🗑
pure substance   A material made of only one kind of element or compound.  
🗑
solid   The state of matter in which particles vibrate in fixed positions, giving a substance a fixed shape and volume.  
🗑
volume   The space enclosed or occupied by an object.  
🗑
weight   The force of gravity acting on the matter in an object.
