Matter and Energy
| 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 |
| 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 substances ability to change into a new substance with different properties |
| physical change | is a change that affects one ore 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 the in ordinary chemical and physical changes, mass is not created or destroyed but is only transformed into different substances |
| atom | are the smallest unit of an element that maintains the properties of that element |
| pure substances | is a substance that has a definite physical and chemical properties such as appearance, melting point and re activity |
| heterogeneous | mixture is one that does not have a uniform composition |
| homogeneous | each part of the sugar water has the same 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 | the change in state when a liquid becomes a solid |
| melting | the change of state when a solid becomes a liquid |
| evaporation | the change of state when a liquid becomes a gas |
| boiling | a rapid change from liquid to a gas,or vapor |
| condensation | the change of state 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 into a solid |
