Anything that has mass and occupies space. | Matter |
The study of the properties of matter and how matter changes. | Chemistry |
Any characteristic of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing the composition of the substance. | Physical Property |
Any property of a substance that produces a change in the composition of matter. | Chemical Property |
The process in which substances undergo chemical changes that result in the formation of new substances. | Chemical Reaction |
A change that alters the form or appearance of a material but does not make the material into another substance. | Physical Change |
A solid that forms from a solution during a chemical reaction. | Precipitate |
A reaction that absorbs energy in the form of heat. | Endothermic Reaction |
A reaction that releases energy in the form of heat. | Exothermic Reaction |
A short, easy way to show a chemical reaction, using symbols. | Chemical Equation |
A substance that enters into a chemical reaction. | Reactant |
A substance formed as a result of a chemical reaction. | Product |
The principle stating that matter is not created or destroyed during a chemical reaction. | Conservation of Mass |
A system in which no matter is allowed to enter or leave. | Closed system |
A system in which matter can enter from or escape to the surroundings. | Open system |
A number in front of a chemical formula in an equation that indicates how many molecules or atoms of each reactant and product are involved in a reaction. | Coefficient |
A chemical reaction in which two or more simple substances combine to form a new, more complex substance. | Synthesis |
A chemical reaction that breaks down compounds into simpler products. | Decomposition |
A reaction in which one element replaces another in a compound, or when two elements in different compounds trade places. | Replacement |
The minimum amount of energy needed to get a chemical reaction started. | Activation energy |
The amount of one material in a certain volume of another material. | Concentration |
