Matter and energy
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| matter | is anything that has mass and takes up space |
| mass | describes the amount of matter in an object |
| weight | is a measure of the gravitational force |
| volume | objects with the similar volumes do not always have the same mass |
| density | is a measure of the amount of mass in a given volume |
| physical property | observe a 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 | is a change that affects one or more physical properties |
| chemical change | occurs when one or more substance change into entirely new substances with different properties |
| law of conservation of mass | states that in ordinary chemical and physical changes |
| atoms | are the smallest unit of element that maintains the property of that element |
| element | is made up of one or morre 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 compounds that are not chemically combined with eachother |
| pure substance | a sample of matter either a single element or a single compund. |
| heterogeneous | mixture is one that does not have a uniform composition |
| homogenous | describes something with a uniform structure |
| solid | substance that has a volume and shape |
| liquid | substance has a definite volume but not a definite shape |
| gas | does not have a definite shape or volume |
| freezing | the change in which a liquid becomes a solid |
| melting | the change of state from a solid to a liquid |
| evaporation | occurs slowly at a range of temperatures |
| boiling | A rapid change from a liquid to gas |
| condensation | is the reverse of evaporation |
| sublimation | the change from a solid to a gas |
| deposition | is the change in state from a gas directly to a solid |
