| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Anything that takes up space and has mass. | Matter |
| The body of coherent matter. | Mass |
| The amount of space that an object occupies. | Volume |
| Particles in an object that are close together that you can't squeeze together, wood. | Solid |
| Particles in an object that are close together but are not in an fixed position, water. | Liquid |
| Particles in an object that are spread out, oxygen. | Gas |
| Any property that is measurable whose value describes a physical system's state. | Physical Property |
| Any of a material's properties that become evident during a chemical reaction that changes a substance. | Chemical Property |
| Smallest unit of matter. | Atom |
| Number of protons in an atom of a given element. | Atomic Number |
| Number of protons plus the number of neutrons in an atom. | Atomic Mass |
| Center of the atom that has the protons and the neutrons. | Nucleus |
| Positive subatomic particles in the nucleus. | Proton |
| Neutral subatomic particles in the nucleus. | Neutron |
| Negative subatomic particles that are around the outside of the nucleus. | Electron |
