| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| everything around you. Matter is anything made of atoms and molecules. | Matter |
| are usually hard, because their molecules have been packed together. | Mass |
| The amount of space that a substance or object occupies, or that is enclosed within a container, esp. when great | Volume |
| are things you can hold that maintain their shape | Liquid |
| Gases are random groups of atoms. | Gas |
| Solids are usually hard, because their molecules have been packed together. | Solid |
| Physical changes are about energy and states of matter. | physical property |
| Chemical changes happen on a molecular level when you have two or more molecules that interact and create a new molecule or two. | chemical property |
| -smallest unit of matter | Atom |
| number of protons in an atom of a given elemen | atomic number |
| number of protons plus the number of neutrons in an atom | atomic mass |
| number of protons plus the number of neutrons in an atom | nucleus |
| positive subatomic particle in the nucleus | proton |
| neutral subatomic particle in the nucleus | neutron |
| negative subatomic particle that is around the outside of the nucleus | electron |
| ability to be flattened into a sheet; bendable | malleability |
| ability to be stretched into a wire | ductility |
| ability to react with another substance | reactivity |
| horizontal rows on periodic table | period |
| vertical columns on periodic table | groups |
| temperature where solid turns to liquid | melting point |
| temperature where liquid turns to gas | boiling point |
| shiny, good conductors, malleable, ductility | metal |
| like both metal and non-metal, shiny, malleable, semi-conductors | metalloid |
| poor conductors, mostly gases, dull | non-metal |
