Matter and Energy
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is an Element? | a pure substance that cannot be separated into simpler substances by physical or chemical means |
| What is a compound? | It is a combination of two or more different elements that are chemically combined |
| What is a mixture? | A mixture is a combination of two or more pure substances in which each pure substance keeps its individual chemical properties. |
| Difference between Homogenous and Heterogeneous mixtures. | Homogenous:When the 2 substances are equally distributed. ex. Lemonade, Salt Water Heterogeneous: When the components are not equally distributed. Ex. Italian Dressing |
| Filtration | Filtration is a technique that separates the components of a mixture using a porous barrier. |
| Distillation | When you boil two substances to seperate them or to boil a substance out of the mixture. |
| Crystallization | a separation technique that results in the formation of pure, solid particles of a substance that had been dissolved in a solution. |
| Chromatography | is a technique that separates the components of a mixture on the basis of the tendency of each component to travel across the surface of another material. |
| What is Matter and what four states does it happen in? | anything that has mass and takes up space. It can be in a solid form, liquid, gas, or plasma. |
| What is weight? | weight is a measure of the gravitational pull on matter |
| Physical Properties of a substance | Extensive: Mass, Density, Melting Point, Boiling Point, Temperature Intensive: Color, Hardness, Malleability, Conductivity, Odor |
| Chemical Properties | Potential to Rust, Potential to Explode, Potential to react with acid, Potential to decompose |
| Chemical Properties | Potential to Rust, Potential to Explode, Potential to react with acid, Potential to decompose |
| physical change | A change that does not affect the basic nature of a substance |
| Chemical Properties | Potential to Rust, Potential to Explode, Potential to react with acid, Potential to decompose |
| physical change | A change that does not affect the basic nature of a substance. Ex: Melting Ice |
| Chemical Change | A change that affects the basic nature of a substance. |
| Potential Energy | measures the distance an object is from the earth’s surface |
| Kinetic Energy | the energy of motion |
| What is The Law of Conservation | The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed; the total amount of energy in the universe is constant |
