Question
Answer
Solid   -Definite shape and volume -Not easily compressed because particles are close together -Expand very slightly when heated  
🗑
Liquid   -Definite volume, but indefinite shape -Not easily compressed because particles are slightly close together -Expand slightly when heated  
🗑
Gas   -Indefinite shape and volume -Easily compressed because particles are far apart -Expand greatly when heated  
🗑
Mixture   Matter that has varying composition  
🗑
Substance   Matter that has a uniform and definite composition  
🗑
Homogenous   A single phase in which components are distributed evenly throughout  
🗑
Heterogenous   A mixture with multiple phases or layers in which components are not evenly distributed  
🗑
Elements   The simplest form of matter with unique properties, and they cannot be broken down any further  
🗑
Compounds   Two or more elements that are combined in a fixed whole number ratio. They can be separated into their constitutive elements by a chemical change  
🗑
Decanting   Pouring off the top layer from the bottom layer by taking advantage of difference in densities  
🗑
Filtering   To separate a solid from a liquid by using a funnel and filter paper. The solid will remain, and the liquid will pour through  
🗑
Distillation   When multiple liquids are mixed homogenously, you can boil each off because of difference in evaporation points  
🗑
Chromatography   Small samples of a mixture are placed on filter paper, and then placed in a wet container. As the sample rises to the top, it will separate each component out by differences in solubility.  
🗑
Why will distillation not work with two liquids?   It does not work with two liquids because both will pour through without separating  
🗑
Chemical Change   It must change into a new substance entirely. Examples: burning, reacting  
🗑
Physical Change   The chemical composition will not change Examples: Phase changes, breaking, grinding  
🗑
Chemical Properties   The ability of a chemical to react or undergo change  
🗑
Physical Properties   Measurable and observable properties of a substance that do not require changing the composition  
🗑
Law of Conservation of Mass   During any chemical reaction, matter cannot be destroyed or spontaneously created. If a gas is produced, the mass of the gas must also be taken into account.  
🗑
Extensive Properties   Dependent on the amount of matter. Ex: mass, volume, length  
🗑
Intensive Properties   Dependent on the type of matter Ex: color, density, conductivity  
🗑
Qualitative   Appearance or behaviors that are not measured; observations Ex: color, texture, luster  
🗑
Quantative   A mathematical description Ex: mass, volume, temperature, desnity  
🗑
