| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| the definition of matter | anything with mass and takes up space |
| The two major categories of matter | Mixtures and substances |
| the difference between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures | homo- Mixture is the same throughout hetero- different proportions |
| the difference between mixtures and substances | substances can't be separated and mixtures can |
| what we call the smallest possible particle of a compound | molecule |
| what we call the smallest possible particle of an element | atom |
| what solids do/do not retain | retain shape and size |
| how molecules move in a solid | vibrate in place |
| what liquids do/do not retain | size but not shape |
| how molecules move in a liquid | fast and slip out of position |
| what gases do/do not retain | neither size or shape |
| most common state of matter in the universe? | plasma |

| definition of boiling point | liquid to gas |
| definition of freezing point | liquid to solid |
| evaporation | liquid to gas |
| condensation | gas to liquid |
| sublimation | solid to gas |
| density (solid) | relationship between 2 measurements mass/volume |
| hardness (solid) | measure of a solid's resistance to scratching |
| elasticity (solid) | measure of a solid's ability to be stretched then return to it's size |
| brittleness (solid) | the ability to shatter upon impact |
| ductility (solid) | the ability of a material to be rolled into wires |
| tensile strength (solid) | how much pulling or tension a material can withstand before breaking |
| density (liquid) | relationship between mass and volume of an object |
| buoyancy (liquid) | upward pressure on an object |
| viscosity (liquid) | resistance to flow |
| particles "less than an object" | subatomic |
| charge and mass of a proton | posotive 1 amu |
| charge and mass of an electron | negative 1/1836 amu |
| charge and mass of a neutron | zero charge 1 amu |
| what is the core of an atom that has almost all of the atom's mass? | neucleus |
| which subatomic particles are found in the neucleus? | protons neutrons |
| what is the empty space outside the neucleus where the electrons are found? | electronic cloud |
| What happens to the energy of electrons the farther away they are from the neucleus? | It will increase |
| What number do we use to distinguish atoms? | Atomic number |
| What force makes the neucleus want to split apart because the posotive protons want to repel? | electromagnetic force |
| What holds the neucleus together | Strong nuclear force. |
