Question
Answer
element   a pure substance that cannot be broken down by any means; examples include carbon, oxygen, hydrogen  
🗑
matter   anything that has mass and volume  
🗑
compound   two or more elements chemically combined  
🗑
physical property   a characteristic that can be observed without changing what the substance is made of. Ex. The bread is soft.  
🗑
chemical property   a characteristic that you observe when a substance REACTS with another substance. Ex. Silver reacts with oxygen (tarnishes).  
🗑
physical changes   a change that alters the appearance of a substance, but does not affect what it is made of. Ex. Dry ice sublimating.  
🗑
chemical changes   a change in matter that produces a new substance. Ex. Burning toast.  
🗑
mass   the amount of matter in an object  
🗑
volume   the amount of space an object takes up  
🗑
density   the amount of matter in a given space. d=mass divided by volume  
🗑
precipitate   a solid that forms as the result of a chemical reaction between two liquids  
🗑
sublimation   the phase change from a solid to a gas; dry ice does this  
🗑
reactivity   the ability of a substance to react with another substance to form something new  
🗑
condensation   the phase change that occurs when a gas cools down enough to change to a liquid; clouds are formed this way  
🗑
vaporization   phase change from a liquid to a gas; molecules speed up and move further apart  
🗑
evaporation   phase change from a liquid to a gas; occurs on the surface of a liquid  
🗑
organic   compounds that contain carbon; compounds that come from once living organisms  
🗑
inorganic   compounds that come from minerals; compounds that come from non-living material  
🗑
periodic table   a systematic way to organize elements according to common physical and chemical properties  
🗑
ductility   the ability of a substance to be stretched into a very thin wire such as gold; this is a PHYSICAL PROPERTY  
🗑
malleability   the ability of a substance to be pounded into thin sheets without shattering such as aluminum; this is a PHYSICAL PROPERTY  
🗑
conductivity   the ability of a substance to allow heat or electricity to travel through it easily such as copper; this is a PHYSICAL PROPERTY  
🗑
metals   a group of shiny, strong, & solid elements that are good conductors of electricity and heat and are usually malleable & ductile  
🗑
non-metals   a group of elements that are either weak, brittle solids or gases that are not conductors, not malleable, and not ductile  
🗑
metalloids   a group of elements that have properties of both metals and non-metals  
🗑
boiling point   the temperature at which a substance changes state from a liquid to a gas; ex. water boils at 100 degrees C and this is a PHYSICAL PROPERTY  
🗑
melting point   the temperature at which a substance changes state from a solid to a liquid; ex. water melts 0 degrees C and this is a PHYSICAL PROPERTY  
🗑
luster   the state or quality of shining by reflecting light  
🗑


   

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.
