Properties of Matter
Use These Cards to Study for the Physical Properties of Matter Test
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Density | the amount of matter packed into a given space |
| Mass | amount of matter an object has |
| Volume | how much space something takes up |
| Matter | anything that takes up space and has mass |
| Temperature | how fast or slow particles move |
| Freezing Point | where a liquid changes to a solid (0 degrees Celsius) |
| Melting Point | where a solid changes to a liquid (0 degrees Celsius) |
| Condensation | where a gas changes to a liquid (energy released) |
| Sublimation | where a solid changes to a gas (energy absorbed) |
| Deposition | where a gas changes to a solid (energy released) |
| Gas | state of matter where particles are far apart from each other and moving fast |
| Liquid | state of matter that is fluid and has definite volume but no definite shape |
| Solid | state of matter where atoms are closely packed together with a definite shape and volume |
| Boiling Point | where a liquid changes to a gas (100 degrees C) |
| Vaporization | where liquid changes to a gas |
| Solute | the substance being dissolved |
| Solvent | the substance doing the dissolving |
| Mixture | made of multiple substances where you can see the parts |
| Solution | homogenous mixture- looks like one thing |
| Element | one type of atom off the Periodic Table |
| Pure Substance | only made of one material (could be an element or a compound) |
| Compound | more than one element chemically combined |
| D=M/V | Formula to find density |
| Solubility | the amount of solute that can be dissolved into a solvent |
