| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| macroscopic | large |
| microscopic | small |
| Homogeneous | (solution) composition is uniform |
| Heterogeneous | composition is NOT uniform throughout (sand) |
| Physical Property | observed without changing identity |
| Chemical Property | observed when it goes through reaction, identity is changed |
| Extensive Property | extends, depends on amount of material (mass, length) |
| Intensive Property | fixed value, independent of amount (density, color) |
| Physical Change | looks different but substance is same (phases of matter) |
| Chemical Change | chemical formula has changed (reaction) |
| nano | -9 (n) |
| micro | -6 (u) |
| milli | -3 (m) |
| cente | -2 (c) |
| kilo | +3 (k) |
| mega | +6 (M) |
| giga | +9 (G) |
| volume= | length x length x length |
| density= | mass/volume |
| accuracy | how close to real value |
| precision | how close to other measurements |
| exact numbers | counted numbers, no uncertainty |
| inexact numbers | measured number, uncertainty |
