Vocab- Matter
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Matter | anything that has mass and takes up space |
| Energy Transfer | changes in states/phases of matter due to an increase or decrease of temperature |
| Compound/ Molecule | two or more elements combine together in a specific ratio/pattern creating a whole, new and different substance |
| Mixture | two or more substances combine together keeping their original properties, they do NOT CHANGE into a new substance/compound |
| Atom | Smallest part of an element, the building blocks of all matter |
| Electron | particle of an atom with a negative charge, moves around the nucleus and has an attractive force that allows it to bond with other atoms creating everything in the universe |
| Proton | particle of an atom with a positive charge located inside the nucleus |
| Neutron | particle of an atom with a neutral/no charge located inside the nucleus along with the proton |
| Periodic Table | large grid that identifies and classifies all of the elements by their chemical and physical properties |
| Element | the simplest substances that cannot be broken down/ they make up all matter in the universe |
| Periods/ Rows | rows that tell how many energy levels each elements has for the electrons to move around |
| Groups or Family/ Columns | columns that tell how many energy levels each element has/ the number of electrons that can move on the outer shell/ energy level |
| Valence Electrons | the electrons that move on the outer shell/ energy level of an atom |
| Chemical Change/ Reaction | elements bond together through the attractive force of electrons creating some type of reaction and change |
| Mass | the material/stuff everything is made up of |
| Tri- Beam Balance | used to measure mass |
| Space | how much volume/area an object takes up |
| States of Matter | solid, liquid, gas, plasma, Bose-Einstein Condensate |
| Physical Property | changing states or apperance, but not into something new |
| Chemical Property | changes that create a whole new substance, it is completely different |
