Chemistry Vocab Quiz
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Matter | anything that has mass and takes up space |
| Pure Substance | Any one type of material. Cannot be separated without changing the substance. |
| Element | contain only one type of matter. It cannot be separated into simpler materials. it is found on the periodic table. |
| Compound | Contains more than one kind of matter that are chemically joined together. It cannot be physically separated. |
| You know you have a compound when you more than one what? | Capital letter |
| Mixtures | A combination of two or more pure substances that are NOT chemically combined. They are physically combined and can be easily seperated by physical means such as filtering, cooling,sorting, or heating. |
| Homogeneous Mixture | A mixture that is the same throughout. They are often solutions. |
| Heterogeneous Mixture | A mixture that is not the same throughout |
| Properties of Matter | how we describe and classify matter |
| Physical Properties | can be observed or measured without changing the composition |
| Intensive Properties | Properties that do NOT depend on the amount of matter present. |
| Extensive Properties | properties that do depend on the amount of matter present |
| Chemical Properties | properties of matter that may be measured by performing a chemical reaction. |
| Characteristic Properties | a chemical or physical property that helps you identify and classify substances |
| Density | describes the relationship between the mass and volume of an object. Describes how tightly packed atoms are. |
| Is density a chemical or physical property? | physical (intensive) |
| Hardness | measures how difficult it is to scratch an object |
| Elasticity | measures and objects ability to be stretched and returned to its original size |
| Brittleness | measures an objects tendency to shatter upon impact |
| Mallleability | Measures how easy it is to pound something into thin sheet |
| Tensile Strength | measures how hard it is to break something by pulling it. Important property of fibers or wires. |
