|---|---|
| The study of the properties of matter, and how matter changes | Chemistry |
| Characteristic of a substance that can be observed without changing it into something else. Ex: density, melting point, boiling point. | Physical Property |
| A measure of how heavy something is for its size. (Mass divided by volume) | Density |
| Characteristic observed when a substance changes into a different substance. Ex: burning, rusting... | Chemical Property |
| Substance that can't be broken into other substances by either physical or chemical means. Represented by a 1 or 2 letter SYMBOL.Ex: Hydrogen(H), Oxygen(O), Copper (Cu) | Element |
