| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| matter | Everything that has mass and takes up space |
| element | the ingredients that has makes up all substances cant be broken down into other substances |
| metals | good conductors of electricity and heat can bend without breaking most have a grey |
| nonmetals | do not conduct heat electricity very well may be a gas or a solid |
| semi-metal | sometimes like metal and sometimes like nonmetal |
| atoms | the smallest part that still acts like that element |
| atomic theory | states that every thing is metal |
| compound | a type thats made with 2 or more elements |

| LIQUID | Definite volume but not shape, particles can move past each other. Takes shape of container |
| solid | Has a definite shape and volume. Particles are very close together, and don’t move past each other. Keeps shape |
| gas | No definite volume or shape. 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 temps or electric charge. |
| melting point | When solid to liquid or liquid to solid. Same temp as freezing point. |
| evaporation | when liquid becomes a gas |
| codensation | When gas become a liquid. Gas particles touch a cold surface and the temperature drops |
