| Answer | |
|---|---|
| What is Chemistry? | Chemistry is the field of study concerned with the characteristics, composition and transformations of matter. |
| What is matter? | Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. |
| Three physical states of matter? | Solid, liquid and gas. |
| Two properties of matter? | Physical matter and chemical matter. |
| What is physical matter? | Physical matter is a characteristic of a substance that can be observed without changing the basic identity of the substance. |
| What is chemical matter? | Chemical matter is a characteristic of a substance that describes the way the substance undergoes or resists change to form a new substance. |
| Two changes in matter? | Physical change and chemical change. |
| What is a physical change in matter? | A physical change is a process in which a substance changes is physical appearance but not is chemical composition. Eg. Melting, freezing, evaporation and condensation are all changes of state. |
