Matter and Energy
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Matter | Anything that has mass and takes up space. |
| Mass | Describes the amount of matter in an object. |
| Weight | A measure of the gravitational force on an object. |
| Volume | The amount of space an object takes up or occupies. |
| Density | A measure of the amount of mass in a given volume. |
| Physical Property | A characteristic of a substance that can be observed and measured without changing the identity of the substance. |
| Chemical Property | describes a substance's ability to change into a new substance with different properties. |
| Physical Change | A change that affects one or more physical properties of a substance. |
| Chemical Change | Occurs when one or more substances change into entirely new substances with different properties. |
| Law of Conservation of Mass | In ordinary chemical and physical changes, mass is not destroyed but is only transformed into different substances. |
| Atoms | The smallest unit of an element that maintains the properties of that element. |
| Element | Made up of one or more of the same kind of atom chemically combined. |
| Compound | Made up of different kinds of atoms chemically combined. |
| Mixture | Contains a variety of elements & compounds that are not chemically combined with each other. |
| Heterogenous | A mixture that that does not have a uniform composition. |
| Homogeneous | A mixture that has a uniform composition. |
| Solid | Substance that has a definite volume and shape. |
| Liquid | Substance that has definite volume but no shape. |
| Gas | Does not have a definite volume or shape. |
| Freezing | The change in state in which a liquid becomes a solid. |
| Melting | This change of state from a solid to a liquid. |
| Evaporation | When particles gain energy, they escape from the surface of the liquid and becomes a gas. |
| Boiling | A rapid change from a liquid to a gas, or vapor. |
| Condensation | The reverse of evaporation. |
| Sublimation | The change from a solid state directly into a gas. |
| Deposition | Gas to solid. |
| Pure Substances | A sample of matter,either a single element or a single compound that has definate |
