QuestionAnswer
What has mass and takes up space? Matter
What does one call the amount of space taken by matter? Volume
What is the curve at the surface of a liquid called? Meniscus
What metric units are used for measuring volume of a liquid? Liters and milliliters
What metric units are used for measuring mass? grams and kilograms
How does one find the volume of a solid like a brick? length X width X height
How might one find the volume of an object with an odd shape? water-displacement method
What is a measurement of the pull of gravity on an object? weight
What never changes no matter where an object is in the universe. mass
What about an object will change based on its position in the universe? weight
What is an object's tendency to either remain at rest or remain in motion unless acted upon by another force? inertia
What determines the amount of inertia in an object? mass
What are those characteristics of matter that can be observed or measured without changing the matter? physical properties
What are some examples of physical properties? odor, size, shape, volume, density, color, texture, etc.
The ability of a substance to transfer heat: thermal conductivity
The physical form of matter: state
The three states of matter: solid, liquid, gas
The ratio of mass to volume in a substance: density
The formula for calculating density: D=M/V
The ability to dissolve in a substance: solubility
The ability to be pulled into thin wire: ductility
The ability to be hammered thin: malleability
Although a golf ball and pin-pong ball have similar sizes, why does the golf ball have more mass? its density is greater
What happens if an object or substance has a lower density than water? it floats
What is it called when a change is made to an object or substance without changing the identity of the matter? physical change
Cutting, tearing, crushing, freezing, melting, and dissolving are all types of: physical changes
What about matter determines whether is has the ability to change into matter with a new identity? chemical properties
Flammability and reactivity are examples of: chemical properties
Those properties that are unique to matter and are used to identify matter are called: characteristic properties
What are some really good characteristic properties of matter? density, reactivity, flammability
This happens when one or more substances react with one or more other substances to form a new substance: chemical change
Bubbling, light, odor, and sound are all pretty reliable signs that what has occurred? chemical change
The specific number and arrangement of matter in a substance is called: composition
The best way to tell if a chemical change has occurred to matter is to look at its: composition
Of physical and chemical changes, which are more easily reversed? physical
