| Metals | Good conductors of electricity and heat. Can bend without breaking Most have a gray and shinny look. |
| nonmetals | Do not conduct heat/electricity very well. May be a gas or a solid |
| semimetals | sometimes like metals and sometimes like nonmetals |
| Atom | The smallest part of an element that still acts like an element |
| Atomic theory | states that everything is made of atoms |
| compound | a type of matter made of two or more elements |

| Solid | Has a definite shape and volume. Particles close to get her, never move past each other. Keeps shape |
| Liquid | Definite volume but no shape, particles can move past each other. take shape of container |
| gas | No definite shape or volume. particles spread out evenly and take shape of container. can be squeezed into smaller volume. |
| plasma | Like a gas, but conducts electricity like a metal. Occurs with high voltage or temperature. |
| Melting Point | When solid to liquid or liquid to solid. same temp as freezing point. |
| Evaporation | When liquid becomes gas. |
| condensation | When gas becomes liquid. gas particles touch a cold surface and the temp drops. |
