| Definition | Term |
|---|---|
| Substance in which all the atoms in a sample are alike, cannot be broken down | element |
| Substance made up of the chemically combined atoms of 2 or more elements | compound |
| Material made up of elements or compounds that are stirred together but not chemically combined | mixture |
| 2 categories of mixtures | heterogenous and homogenous |
| A mixture in which different materials can be easily seen, easily separated | heterogenous |
| A mixture in which materials are blended evenly so the mixture is the same throughout | homogenous |
| Any characteristic of a material that can be observed without changing the identify of the material itself | physical property |
| Changes in the size, shape, color or state of matter | physical change |
| characteristic of a substance that indicates whether it can undergo a specific chemical change | chemical property |
| change of a substance in a material into a new substance | chemical change |
| Matter is neither created nor destroyed during a chemical change | Law of Conservation of Mass |
| When a chemical change takes place, you end up with _______ amount of mass that you started with | the same |
| ability to change or move matter | energy |
| when a liquid changes to a gas | condensation |
| a change that does NOT cause a change in the composisiton of a substance | physical change |
| blend of 2 or more pure substances tha do not chemically combine | mixture |
| 2 or more liquids that are able to dissolve into each other | miscible |
| 2 or more liquies that do not mix into each other | immiscible |
| anything tha has mass and occupies space | matter |
| smallest particle that has the properties of an element | atom |
| properties of a compound are ______ _____ the properties of the individual elements | different than |

| what is the difference between a molecule and a compound? | compound has 2 elements |
| shorthand way of respresenting chemcial substances, gives ratios of elements in a molecule | chemical formula |
| shows the number of atomsof the element in a compoun | subscript |
| shows the number of molecules | coefficient |
| matter with a fixed composition and definite properties | pure substance |
| all matter is made up of tiny particles in constant motion | kinetic theory ofmatter |
| if the temperature increases, the motion of the particles will ___ | increase |
| if the mass of the particles is increases, the motion will ____ | decrease |

| pressure can cause it to contract | gas |
| gas like mixture consisting of postively and negatively charged particles | plasma |
| How can you change the state of a substance? | by adding or taking away energy |
| when a liquid turns into a gas at the surface, absorbs energy | Evaporation |
| when a solid changes directly into a gas, absorbs energy | sublimation |
| When a liquid turns into a gas below the surface, absorbs energy | boiling |
| gas turns into a solid, releases energy | deposition |
| The ability of a substance to combine chemically with other substances | reactivity |
