precision how close each measurement is to repeated measurements
significant figures rules in measurement that allow you to indicate the degree of certainty in measurements
density mass divided by volume. The amount of material packed into a given space.
intensive properties properties that do not change if the quantity of the substance changes, they can be used to idenify an unknown substance. Example: density
extensive properties properties that change based on the quantity of the substance, they cannot be used to identify an unknown substance. Examples: mass and volume
meniscus the point at which you read the volume of a liquid in a graduated cylinder - the bottom of the curve at the surface of the liquid
