The boy in the bottle matter case study
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Extrinsic Property | Depend on the size of a sample. For example, mass, volume, and heat content are all considered extrinsic properties. |
| Matter | A substance made up of various types of particles that occupies physical space and has inertia. |
| Element | A chemical substance that cannot be broken down into other substances by chemical reactions. |
| Mixture | A compound made up of two or more chemical components that are not chemically linked. |
| Heterogeneous Mixture | A mixture with a non-uniform composition. |
| Freezing Point | The exact temperature at which a liquid becomes a solid. |
| Solution | A special type of homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances. |
| Solvent | A substance with the ability to dissolve other substances to form a solution. |
| Solid | One of the four fundamental states of matter along with liquid, gas, and plasma. |
| Gas | A fluid (such as air) that has neither independent shape nor volume but tends to expand indefinitely. |
| Mass | A measure of the amount of matter that an object contains. |
| Atoms | The smallest part of a substance that cannot be broken down chemically. |
| Extraction | A separation process consisting of the separation of a substance from a matrix. |
| Physical Property | A characteristic of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing the identity of the substance. |
| Physical Change | A type of change where the physical properties of matter change. |
| Conductivity | A measure of a solution's ability to conduct electricity. |
| Intrinsic Property | Is independent of how much of a material is present and is independent of the form of the material. |
| Pure Substance | An element or compound made up of one type of particle. |
| Compound | A chemical substance composed of many identical molecules containing atoms from more than one chemical element held together by chemical bonds. |
| Homogenous Mixture | One whose composition is uniform throughout the mixture. |
| Boiling Point | The temperature at which its vapor pressure is equal to the pressure of the gas above it. |
| Evaporation | Process by which an element or compound transitions from its liquid state to its gaseous state below the temperature at which it boils. |
| Solute | A substance that can be dissolved into a solution by a solvent. |
| States of Matter | A way to describe the behavior of atoms and molecules in a substance. |
| Liquid | A type of matter with specific properties that make it less rigid than a solid but more rigid than a gas. |
| Density | The relationship between the mass of the substance and how much space it takes up (volume). |
| Volume | A physical quantity that measures the amount of three-dimensional space occupied by matter (solid, liquid, or gas). |
| Molecules | Two or more atoms connected by chemical bonds, which form the smallest unit of a substance that retains the composition and properties of that substance. |
| Filtration | A process used to separate solids from liquids or gases using a filter medium that allows the fluid to pass through but not the solid. |
| Chemical Property | A specific characteristic of a substance like an element or a compound, relating to how it can change as a result of a reaction. |
| Chemical Change | A change of materials into another, new materials with different properties and one or more than one new substances are formed. |
| Solubility | The ability of a solid, liquid, or gaseous chemical substance (referred to as the solute) to dissolve in solvent (usually a liquid) and form a solution. |
