| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is a hypothesis | and educated guess about how the natural universe works. It consists of observations and data. |
| What is a scientific theory | general statement that explains a number of observations |
| What is a scientific law | something that is pure and of the highest understanding ppof the natural universe. Usually cannot be proved as it already has been |
| What is chemistry | branches of science |
| What is the difference between quanitative and qualatitive | qual: description of the quality of an object (hard, soft, yellow) quan: the specifc amount of something (25 students, 650 watermelons) |
| What is the scientific method | a system occuring during experiments and it consists of 1. collecting data 2. form hypothesis 3. plan and do experiements 4. redifine hypothesis |
| What is matter | anything that is has mass and occupies space containing tiny particles |
| How do observations and law coinside | obsevations are an analysis and laws are a explation >hypothsis > experiments>theory |
| What is a solid | definite shape and volume: particles visable around axis close together crystal: constant particles arranged in a regular array of positive and negative ions |
| What is a liquid | definate volume but NOT definate shape: particles free roam |
| What is a gas | indeifinte volume and no fixed shape: particles roam free with little to no attraction to each other. Highly compresible |
| What are physical properties | Charactertics of a substance that can be observed or measured with out change to identiy: hardess helps determine how this might be used, melting/boiling point |
| What are chemical properties | describes potential to undergo some chemical change or reaction by virtue of its composition; other terms used; rot, explode, burn, ferment |
| What is a physical change | no bounds are broken or formed, same beginning to end and may include changes of state(vapor, freexe, condensation) making solutions, physical deformation and describe reverse or irreverseable |
| What is a chemical change | occurs when bonds are broken and are formed between molecous and atoms: temp, light, color, bubbles, smell or taste, solid |
| What is an element | simplest form of matter with unique set of properties (oxygent, gold, rust) |
| What is a compound: | substance that contains tow or more elements that chemically compound into a fixed property |
| What is a pure substance | only contains one kid of mixture |
| Homogeneous mixture | two or more substances that are imediatly mixed (food coloring and water) |
| What is a heterogeneous mixture | not uniform throughout the mixture i.e veggie soup |
| What is a mixture | tow or more substances combined together |
| What is a substance | uniform and definite composioiton |
| What is a phase | any part of a sample that has uniform composiiton and properities |
| What is chromatogrpahy | seperation of mixture by passing it in solution or suspension as a vapor through a medium at which compents move through different stays |
| What is distillation | affective method to seperate mixtures comprised of two or more pure liquids |
| What is evaporation | technique to seperate out homogeneos mixture when there is one or more dissolved salts |
| What is filration | seperation method to seperate pure substances in mixture comprised of particles |
| How is matter catorgized | matter pure substance or mixture pure sub>element or compound mixture>homogeneous or heterogenous |
