Term | Definition |
---|---|
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 that an object takes up, or occupies, is known as the object |
density | a measure of the amount of mass in a given volume |
physical property | a characteristic of a substance that can be observed and measure without changing the identity of the substance |
chemical property | describes a substance ability to change into a new substance with different properties |
physical change | the 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 conversation of mass | states that in ordinary chemical and physical changes, mass is not created or destroyed but is not transformed into different sunstances |
atom | the smallest unit of an element that maintain the properties of that element |
elements | 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 and compounds that are not chemically with each other |
pure substance | a substance that has definite physical and chemical properties such as appearance, melting point, and reactivity |
heterogeneous | one that does not have a uniform composition |
homogeneous | a mixture of each part of the sugar-water mixture |
solid | the particles in a solid are close together and do not move freely. |
liquid | particles in liquid, have more kinetic energy than particles in a solid do. |
gas | a substance in gaseous state has particles with the most kinetic energy of the three states |
freezing | the change in state in which a liquid becomes a solid |
melting | the change of state from a solid to a liquid |
evaporation | a liquid is warmed, its particles gain energy. some particle gain enough energy that they escape from the surface of the liquid and become a gas. |
boiling | a rapid change from a liquid to a gas, or vapor |
condensation | the change from a gas to a liquid. |
sublimation | the change from a solid state directly into a gas. |
deposition | the change in state from a gas directly to a solid. |
