| matter | anything that takes up space and has mass(matter is made up of parts too small to be seen without magnification) |
| mass | the amount of matter in a object (measured in grams and kilograms) |
| solid | matter that has definite size,shape,and volume;the molecules are close together |
| liquid | matter that has NO definite size and shape but does have volume; the molecules are spaced apart and flow against each other |
| gas | matter that has NO definite size,shape,or volume;the molecules are spaced far apart and bounce off each other |
| atoms | the smallest particle of matter; atoms form molecules |
| physical change | size, shape, and state remain the same even when matter is reduced in size |
| chemical change | matter changes into something new |
| mixture | when you combine two or more types of matter |
| physical property | a characteristic that can be observed without changing the matter into another type of matter |
| chemical property | a characteristic that describes something's ability to become something else |
| pure substance | a single kind of matter that always has the same makeup, or composition |
| element | substances that are made up of only one type of atom |
| molecule | A group of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds |
| compound | A substance made of two or more elements that are chemically combined in a set ratio |
| mixture | is made up of two or more substances that are physically mixed together, not chemically bonded. Most of the time, they can be separated fairly easy |
