| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Chemistry | The study of matter what it consist of what its properties are and are we changes |
| Matter | Is anything that has mass and take up space – that is anything that is physically real |
| Science | The process by which we learn about the natural universe by observing testing and then generating models that explain our observation |
| Geology | The study of Rocks and Earth |
| Scientific method | An organized procedure for learning answers to questions |
| The general steps of the scientific method | Proposal hypothesis Test the hypothesis Refine the hypothesis if necessary |
| Theory | A general statement that describes a large set of observations and data |
| Matter is classified into two categories | Physical properties Chemical properties |
| Physical property of matter | Characteristics that describe matter such as size shape, and color |
| Chemical properties of matter | Characteristic that describes a matter changes its chemical structure or composition |
| Substance | Any example of matter that has the same physical and chemical properties throughout the sample |
| Element | A substance that cannot be broken down into chemically simpler component |
| Compound | A substance that can be broken down into chemically simpler components |
| Atom | The smallest part of an element that maintains the identity of the element |
| Molecule | The smallest part of compound that maintains the identity of the compound |
| Microscopic | View of the universe in which one is working with a few atoms are molecules at the time |
| Macroscopic | A view of the universe in which one is working with large numbers of atoms or molecules at a time |
| Mixture | A sample compose of two or more substances |
| Heterogeneous mixture | Mixture that is a combination of two or more substances |
| Homogenous mixture | A mixture that acts as a single substance so that it is not obvious that two or more substances are present |
| Phases | A certain form of matter that includes a specific set of physical properties |
| Phase change | A physical process in which a substance goes from one phase to another |
