MATTER
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Anything that has mass and takes up space. | Matter |
| The amount of matter in something. | Mass |
| The amount of space something occupies. | Volume |
| Firm and stable in shape, not a liquid or a fluid. | Solid |
| State of matter with definite volume but no shape. | Liquid |
| Random groups of atoms that can take up any spaced container. | Gas |
| A property used to characterize materials in reactions that change their identity. | Chemical Property |
| Any property used to characterize matter and energy and their interactions. | Physical 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 neutrons (heaviest part of the 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 into a liquid. | Melting point |
| Temperature where liquid turns into a 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 |
