Test review for chemistry
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is a compound | It is 2 or more elements that are chemically combined |
| What is a mixture | 2 or more substances that are not chemically combined. You can easily separate them |
| What is a solution | When the solvent and solute are mixed together |
| What is an atom and what are the parts of it | An atom is a tiny particle that is made up of protons,neutrons, and electrons |
| What is a metal | A material that is typically hard,shiny, and is a good conductor of heat and electricity |
| What is a metalliod. | A chemical element with properties “in between” or that are a mixture of, metals and non-metals. Staircase in a periodic table. |
| What are the physical properties | Observed/measured. Examples: color,odor,phase,shape. Heat and electrical conductivity, boiling,freezing points, texture, density volley ball vs boiling ball and the 5 senses sight, hearing, taste,touch,smell |
| What is mass | How much stuff is inside an object. It stays the same everywhere. |
| What are the chemical properties | How a substance changes into a new substance Examples:flammability; ability to burn, reactivity;ability to combine, and rusting;(iron+water=iron oxide) |
| What is a physical change | It keeps chemical composition and properties and does not produce a new substance. Examples: tearing,crushing,cutting,phase changes |
| What is a chemical change | Chemical reaction and it forms new substances with different properties and indication. Examples: change in color,bubbling,light production,smoke,presence of heat |
| What is a solid | A substance with a definite shape and volume |
| What is a liquid | A substance that has a definite volume but not a definite shape |
| What is a gas | A substance that has neither a definite volume nor shape |
| What is freezing | A change in state that occurs when the temperature of particles has decreased energy and a liquid turns into a solid |
| What is melting | A change in state that occurs when particles speed up and change from a solid to a liquid |
| What is boiling | A rapid change in state that occurs throughout a substance changing it from from a liquid to a gas |
| What is evaporation | A change in state that occurs as particles from the surface of a liquid to a gas |
| What is sublimation | A change in state directly from a solid to a gas |
| What is condensation | The reverse of evaporation when a substance changes from a gas to a liquid state |
| What is deposition | The change in state directly from a gas to a liquid state |
| What is a boiling point | The specific temperature at which a liquid changes to a gas |
| What is a melting point | The specific temperature at which a solid changes to a liquid |
| What is a solute | A substance that is dissolved |
| What is a solvent | A substance that does the dissolving |
