| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Matter | makes up everything |
| elements | there are over 100 of these things and they make up most things |
| semimetals | it reacts like metals sometimes but is not one |
| atoms | the smallest part of a element that still has the properties is a |
| GAS | No definite volume or shape. Particles spread out evenly and take shape of container. Can be squeezed into a smaller volume |
| compound | a is a type of matter made of two or more elements |
| molecule | the smallest part of a compounds that still has the properties is called a |
| nonmetals | does not react like metals |
| metals | good conductors of electricity and heat and it cand bend |
| atomic theory | states everything is made of atoms |
| molecule | smallest part of a compound that still is one |
| proton | positive charge found in the nucleus |
| nuetron | no charge found in nucleus |
| electron | negative charge orbits nucleus |
| SOLID | Has a definite volume or shape. Particles are very close together, and don’t move past each other. Keeps its shape. |
| LIQUID | Has a definite volume but not shape. Particles can move past each other. Takes shape of container |
| PLASMA | Like a gas, but conducts electricity like a metal. Occurs with high temps or electric charge. |
| MELTING POINT | Solid to liquid or liquid to solid. Same temperature as freezing point. |
| EVAPORATION | When liquids become a gas |
| CONDENSATION | When gas becomes a liquid. Gas particles touch a cold surface and the temperature drops. |
| BOILING POINT | The temperature at which evaporation occurs |
| MIXTURE | Two or substances that mix together but each keeps its own identity |
| SOLUTION | A mixture where substance spreads out evenly and will not settle |
| SOLUTE | The substance being dissolved |
| SOLVENT | What the substance is dissolved in |
| SOLUBILITY | A way to measure how much a material dissolves into another |
