Term | Definition |
---|---|
Insulator | A substance that resists electrical current or the flow of heat |
Malleable | Can be hammered into sheets and other shapes without breaking (property of metals) |
Conductor | A substance that allows the flow of electric charge or transfers thermal energy |
ductile | can be drawn into wires (metals) |
Physical property of metals | Luster, malleable, ductile, conductive,and high denseties |
Physical property of Nonmetals | dull and brittle |
Luster | How a surface of a material shines or reflects light |
Conductivity | The ability to transfer heat, sound, or electricity easily |
brittle | Breaks easily when force is applied. |
metals | A solid material that is typically hard, shiny, malleable, ductile, and conducts heat and electricity well. |
metalloids | have properties of both metals and non-metals. For example, it may conduct electricity well but is brittle (and therefore, not malleable). |
Non-Metals | are not able to conduct electricity or heat very well, very brittle (breakable), and cannot be made into wires or pounded into sheets |
Hardness | measure of how resistant a solid is to shape change when a force is applied. |
Density | m/v=? |
Element | a group of or 1 atom of a element |
compound | composed of 2 or more elements |
CHNOPS | The elements that makes up the human body and other living creatures |
Organic Compound | Contains Carbon |
Inorganic compound | Does not contain carbon (with an exception of carbon dioxide) |
Emzines | They speed up the procedures of turning food to sugars |
Amylase | The Enzymes that breakdown food in your mouth |
Carbohydrates | The simple sugars that help power your body |
Molecule breakdown | Larger to smaller |
