Mass The amount of matter in a substance (objects)
Volume The amount of space an object takes up
Physical change A change to a sample of matter in which some properties of the material change, but the identity of the matter does not.
Solid A state of matter that retains its shape and density (degree of compactness).
Liquid A state of matter that conforms to the shape of a container in which it is held.
Gas A state of matter that has no fixed shape and no fixed volume.
Chemical change Occurs whenever matter changes into an entirely different substance with different chemical properties.
Element a pure substance made of only 1 type of atom that can not be broken down further into other substances.
Compounds -A physical change takes place when two or more elements, compounds, or substances are blended but do not combine chemically
Mixtures -A physical change takes place when two or more elements, compounds, or substances are blended but do not combine chemically
Atom the smallest building blocks of matter.
Electron A negative subatomic particle that is located outside the nucleus that makes up the atom.
Proton A positive subatomic particle that is located in the nucleus that makes up the atom.
Neutron a neutral (no electric charge) subatomic particle that is found in the nucleus (center of the atom) that makes up the atom.
Atomic number the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, which determines the chemical properties of an element and its place in the periodic table.
Atomic mass (weight) Together, the number of protons and the number of neutrons determine an element's mass number: mass number = protons + neutrons.
A family, group, of elements -a vertical column on the periodic table, where all the elements within that column share similar chemical properties due to having the same number of valence electrons in their outermost shell
A row or period a horizontal line on the periodic table

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.
