Matter and Energy

QuestionAnswer
Matter Anything that has mass and takes up space
Physical Property Properties of matter that we observe with our senses
Extrinsic Properties Depend on the amount of matter present
Intrinsic Properties Do not depend on the amount of matter present
Compressible Packed closely together
Phase barriers The point at which matter changes phase
Condensation Point The temperature at which gas becomes a liquid
Freezing point The temperature at which liquid becomes solid or freezes
Melting point The temperature at which a solid becomes liquid or melts
Boiling point The temperature at which a liquid becomes a gas
Sublimation The evaporation of a substance directly from a solid to a gas without melting (or going through the liquid phase).
Deposition The condensation of a substance directly from a vapor to a solid, without going through the liquid phase.
Density The mass (m) per unit volume (v) of a substance.
Density formula D= m/v
Polarity Affect the interaction of gasses
Volatile compound A small, stable atom such as helium has little attraction for other helium atoms; therefore, it exists as a gas at room temperature
What type of shape and volume does a gas have? A gas such as air, has weight but not a fixed shape or a fixed volume.
What type of shape and volume does a solid have? Definite shape and definite volume
What type of shape and volume does a liquid have? Indefinite shape and definite volume
Temperature Measures the speed of moving particles in an object
Volume Consists of the amount of space that an object takes up
Pressure The amount of force applied on a given surface area
What do Gas Laws show? Describe the relationship between the temperature, pressure, and volume of gasses.
Increasing the pressure at a constant temperature _______ the volume of the gas. (Boyle’s Law) Decreases
Increasing the temperature of a gas at constant pressure causes the volume of the gas to ________. (Charles’ Law) Increase
At constant pressure and temperature, the volume of a gas ________ as the number of molecules of the gas increases. (Avogadro’s Law) Increases
Directly Proportional When one quantity increases, so does the related quantity. The opposite is also true: one decreases the other does too.
Inversely Proportional When the volume increases, pressure decreases and when volume decreases, pressure increases.
Internal energy Electrically charged particles possess energy together
Another word for heat Thermal energy
Specific heat The number of joules (unit of work and energy) required to raise 1 gram of the substance 1 (celsius) or 1 (kelvin)
Conduction Kinetic energy is transferred as particles hit each other directly
Convection Occurs when circulation of heat through gasses or liquids raises the temperature of the whole fluid.
Radiation The transfer of thermal energy as waves.
Exothermic reaction Release thermal energy
Endothermic reaction Heat energy is absorbed
Activation energy The energy needed to start the reaction
Catalyst Can increase the rate of reaction

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
