Science words

QuestionAnswer
What is matter? Something that has volume and mass.
What isn't matter? Energy.
What is Volume? The amount of space something takes up.
What is Mass? Amount of stuff packed in an object.
What is the Law of Conservation of Mass/Matter? Matter stays the same even when it changes form, Mass can't be created or destroyed.
What is Weight? The gravitational pull.
What is the difference between Mass and Weight? Mass is the amount of stuff packed in an object, and weight is how heavy something is.
What is Density? How tightly something is packed.
Does the amount of something present affect its density? Explain. The density does not change as the amount of the substance present changes.
What is Buoyancy? The ability to float on water or air.
What are three properties of a solid? Solids are fixed shapes, solids can't be compressed, solids have high density.
What are three properties of a liquid? Viscosity, boiling point, and melting point.
What are three properties of a gas? The temperature of a gas, the pressure of a gas, and volume occupied by a gas.
Draw the particles in a solid.
Draw the particles in a liquid.
Draw the particles in a gas.
What is plasma? Plasma is when gas get's very hot.
What is Melting? Melting is when a solid goes to liquid.
What is Freezing? Liquid to solid.
What Evaporation? Liquid to vapor.
What is Condensation? Gas to liquid.
What is Sublimation? Solid to gas.
What is Deposition? Gas to solid.
What is Vaporization? Liquid to gas.
What's the difference between boiling and evaporation? Boiling is bulk phenomenon and has bubbles, evaporation is surface phenomenon and doesn't have bubbles. Evaporation happens at room temperature, boiling you have to heat it up.
Describe how adding or subtracting energy from matter changes its phase. It causes the particles to move faster or slower.
What's the difference between a Physical Property and a Chemical Property? The physical property is a solid so you can measure it without changing it, but a chemical property is harder to measure so you have to change it.
List some physical properties of matter. Density, color, and hardness.
List some chemical properties of matter. Flammability, toxicity, and acidity.
Be sure you know the properties we covered in class (malleability, solubility, etc.) Malleability is when metal is hammered into thin sheets of metal, solubility is when two substances attract and combine. Example: salt to water.
