| Chemical Property | describes a substances ability to change into a new substance with different properties |
| Physical Change | is 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 | states that in ordinary chemical and physical changes, mass is not created or destroyed but is only transformed into different substances |
| Atoms | are the smallest unit of an element that maintains the properties of an element |
| Element | is made up of one or more of the same kind of atom chemically combined |
| Compound | is made up of different kinds of atoms chemically combined |
| Mixture | contains a variety of elements and compound that are not chemically combined with each other |
| Pure Substances | elements and compounds |
| Heterogeneous | a mixture that does not have a uniform composition |
| Homogeneous | a mixture with sweet taste |
| Solid | substance has a definite volume and shape |
| Liquid | substance has a definite volume but not a definite shape |
| Gas | does not have a definite volume or shape |
| Freezing | when a liquid becomes a solid |
| Melting | when a solid becomes a liquid |
| Evaporation | when a liquid becomes a gas |
| Condensation | when a gas becomes a liquid |
| Sublimation | when a solid becomes a gas |
| Deposition | when a gas becomes a solid |
