Question | Answer |
matter | anything that has mass and takes up space |
volume | the amount of space taken up |
meniscus | the curve at the surface of a liquid |
mass | the amount of matter in an object |
weight | a measure of the gravitational force on an object |
inertia | the tendency of an object to resist a change in motion |
physical property | can be observed or measured without changing the matter's identity |
density | the amount of matter in a given space |
examples of physical properties | thermal conductivity, state, density, solubility, ductility, malleability |
density equation | D = m/V |
density label | g/cm3 |
physical change | a change that affects one or more physical properties of a substance |
chemical properties | describe matter based on its ability to change into new matter that has different properties |
chemical change | happens when one or more substances are changed into new substances that have new and different properties |
examples of chemical change | soured milk, rusting, mixing chemicals, digesting in your stomach, burning, fireworks, baking, temperature change, bubbles, tanning |
characteristic property | a property that describes something |
label for volume | cm3 |
equation for volume | V = length * width * height |
