Question
Answer
Matter   anything that has mass and takes up space (macro/microscopic)  
🗑
Chemistry   the study of matter and the changes it undergoes  
🗑
Mass   describes the quantity of matter in an object  
🗑
Weight   the force of gravity exerted on an object- can be different on different planets, use the word weighing though we really mean massing  
🗑
Law of Conservation of Mass   in a non-nuclear chemical reaction, mass is not creatd or destroyed  
🗑
Solid   keeps shape and volume, low compressability  
🗑
Liquid   keep volume but not shape, relative compressability  
🗑
Gas   doesn't hold shape or volume, high compressability  
🗑
Physical Changes   invlove altering the physical state of a substance without changing its chemical composition (melting, freezing, boiling, condensation)  
🗑
Physical Properties   describes the color, odor, melting/freezing point, density, etc. of a substance and do not change the composition or identity of a substance  
🗑
Chemical Changes   involve altering chemical identity of a substance ( also called chemical reaction)  
🗑
Chemical Properties   characteristics of how a substances undergoes chemical change- such as: hydrogen burns in oxygen to make water  
🗑
Pure Substance   a single chemical entity- one kind of matter with a set of constant physical and chemical properties- may be element or a compound- it cannot be seperated into other kinds of matter by any physical properties  
🗑
Element   contain single type of atom- they cannot be decomposed by any chemical reaction into simpler substances  
🗑
Atom   the smallest piece possible of an element  
🗑
Elemental Symbols   abbreviation used to represent an atom of a element- one or two letters, only first one is capitalized  
🗑
Compound   substance composed of two or more elements chemically combined  
🗑
Law of Definite Proportions   different samples of the same compound always contain its constituent elements in the same proportion by mass- i.e. all samples of CO2 have the same ratio by mass of C to O  
🗑
Mixture   contain two or more substances each or which retain it own distinct identity and can be seperated by physical means  
🗑
Heterogeneous Mixture   mixture has distinct phases or parts- i.e. oil and water, sand in water, iron fillings in salt  
🗑
Homogeneous Mixture   mixture has a uniform appearance and composition thoughout  
🗑
Precision   refers to the closeness of the set of values obtained from identical measurements of a quantity (values close together)  
🗑
Accuracy   refers to the closeness of a single measurement to its true value (close to true value)  
🗑
Significant Figures   number of meaningful digits in a repeated number, only the last digit in the number is not known with certainty  
🗑
Doubtful Digit   the last digit is uncertain but signficant- ex. when you measure a rod you get 9.12, 9.11, and 9.13; the first two numbers (9.1) are certain, the next digit is an estimate with some uncertainty  
🗑
Scientific Notation   used to remove ambiguity of a number- especially to simplify very large/small numbers  
🗑
Exact Numbers   have infinite number of significant figures (counted quantities, definitions)- ex. there are 9 coins in a bottle, 12 inches in a foot  
🗑
Density   how concentrated some form of matter is- specifically the ratio of mass to volume  
🗑
Meter   SI base unit of length  
🗑
Kilogram   SI base unit of mass  
🗑
Second   SI base unit of time  
🗑
Derived Unit   combinations of the fundalmetal quantities of length, mass, time, etc.- ex. density in g/mL, velocity in m/s  
🗑
Temperature   scale established by arbitrarily, but consistantly, setting fixed points and temperature increments called degrees  
🗑
Factor-label/Dimensional Analysis Method   used to convert one unit to another  
🗑
Unit/Conversion Factors   used to perform factor-label calculations- ex. 7 days in a week, 10 pennies to a dime  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
