| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Compound | a substance made of two or more kinds of atoms that are chemically combined |
| Chemical change | a change in the composition of a substance; a rearrangement of the atoms into a new substance |
| Chemical properties | ability to form new substances |
| Elements | substances containing only one type of atom |
| Matter | has mass and occupies space. |
| Physical change | a change in which the composition of the substance is not altered |
| Chemical reactions | another term for chemical changes |
| Atom | the fundamental unit of which elements are composed; the smallest sample of an element that has all the properties of that element, generally composed of the three subatomic particles (electrons, protons, and neutrons). |
| Chemical change | the change of substances into other substances through a reorganization of the atoms; a chemical reaction. |
| Chemical properties | Exhibited by matter as it undergoes changes in composition; The ability of a substance to change to a different substance. |
| Compound | A pure substance with constant composition that can be broken down into elements by chemical processes. |
| Elements | A pure substance that cannot be decomposed into simpler substances by chemical or physical means. It consists of atoms all having the same atomic number. |
| Extensive properties | A non inherent property of a system, such as volume or internal energy, that changes with the quantity of material in the system; the quantitative value equals the sum of the values of the property for the individual constituents |
| Intensive properties | properties independent of the quantity or shape of the substance under consideration; for example, temperature, pressure, or composition. |
| Gas | One of the three states of matter; has neither fixed shape nor fixed volume |
| Liquid | one of the three states of matter; has a fixed volume but takes the shape of its container. |
| Matter | The material of the universe; anything that has mass and occupies space. |
| Molecule | a bonded collection of two or more atoms of the same element or different elements. |
| Physical change | a change from one state (solid or liquid or gas) to another without a change in chemical composition |
| Physical properties | A characteristic of a substance that can be observed in the absence of change; that is, without the substance becoming a different substance. |
| Reaction | a change or transformation in which a substance decomposes, combines with other substances, or interchanges constituents with other substances |
| Solid | one of the three states of matter; has a fixed shape and volume. |
| States of matter | The three different forms in which matter can exist: solid, liquid, and gas |
