Properties of Matter
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Matter that always has exactly the same composition | Pure Substance |
| A substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances | Element |
| The smallest particle of an element | Atom |
| A substance that is made from two or more simpler substances and can be broken down into into simpler substances | Compound |
| The parts of the mixture are noticeably different from one another | Heterogeneous Mixture |
| The substance are so evenly distributed that is difficult to distinguish one substance in the mixture from another | Homogeneous Mixture |
| When substances dissolve and form a homogeneous mixture, the mixture is the solution | Solution |
| A heterogeneous mixture that separates into layers over time | Suspension |
| Contains some particles that are intermediate in size between the small particles in a solution and the larger particles in a suspension | Colloid |
| The tendency of a liquid to keep from flowing ;its resistance to flow | Viscosity |
| A material's ability to allow heat to flow | Conductivity |
| The ability of a solid to be hammered without shattering | Malleability |
| The temperature at which a substance changes from solid to liquid | Melting Point |
| The temperature at which a substance boils | Boiling Point |
| The process that separates materials based on the size of their particles | Filtration |
| The process that separates the substance in a solution by their boiling points | Distillation |
| Occurs when some of the properties of a material change but the substance in the material remains the same | Physical Change |
| Any ability to produce a change in the composition of matter | Chemical Property |
| A material's ability to burn in the presence of oxygen | Flammability |
| The property that describes how readily a substance combines chemically with other substances | Reactivity |
| Occurs when a substance reacts and forms one or more new substances | Chemical Change |
| Any solid that forms and separates from a liquid mixture | Precipitate |
