| What is the Continuous Theory of Matter? | The assumed theory that you could divide any substance in half over and over again, no matter how small the substance became. |
| What is the Discontinuous Theory of Matter? | The corrected theory that matter is composed of tiny individual particles, which can be broken down to a point. |
| What is the Law of Mass Conservation? | Matter can not be created or destroyed; it can only change forms. |
| What is Decomposition? | Change that divides the matter in a substance into smaller bundles which then become individual substances. |
| What are Elements? | Any substance that cannot be broken down (decomposed) into simpler components. |
| What is the Periodic Table of Elements? | The table that compiles the most important information about each element. |
| What are Metals? | Elements that are usually malleable (can be easily bent and shaped), have luster (are shiny), and are able to conduct electricity. |
| What are Nonmetals? | Elements that are typically brittle (break easily when you try to bend or shape them), lack luster, and do not conduct electricity. |
