Modeling Matter
Checkpoint 2
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| A characteristic or feature of a substance like color, shape, texture, or melting point. | Property |
| Anything that is made of more than one substance. | Mixture |
| Matter that is only made of one kind of atom or molecule. | Substance |
| The stuff that things are made of. | Matter |
| A tiny piece of matter that is too small to see. | Atom |
| A group of atoms joined together in a particular way | Molecule |
| A liquid that can dissolve other substances to make a solution | Solvent |
| To pull on an object even without touching it | Attract |
| When a substance mixes easily into a liquid and seems to dissapear | Dissolve |
| Able to dissolve in a liquid. | Soluble |
| Takes the shape of its container but keeps the same amount of space (volume). The particles are close together but can move around each other. | Liquid |
| Has its own shape and takes up a certain amount of space. The particles are packed closely together and don’t move much. | Solid |
| Spreads out to fill all the space available. The particles are far apart and move quickly in all directions. Ex. air, helium, gas | Gas |
| To get bigger or take up more space. Ex: Air expands when it’s heated — the particles move farther apart. | Expand |
| The amount of matter in an object | Mass |
| a substance that helps two liquids that don’t normally mix, like oil and water, stay mixed together. | Emlusifier |
