Matter   Anything that has mass and takes up space  
🗑
Mass   The amount of matter in an object  
🗑

🗑
Liquid   A state of matter that has an indefinite shape and a definite volume  
🗑
Gas   A state of matter that has an indefinite shape and an indefinite volume  
🗑
Indefinite   Does not remain the same value at all times (Ex: The volume is indefinite means the volume is not the same at all times, it changes)  
🗑
Atom   The basic particle from which all elements are made  
🗑
Melting   A phase change from solid to liquid. Heat increases and molecular motion increases.  
🗑
Freezing   A phase change from liquid to solid. Heat decreases and molecular motion decreases.  
🗑
Evaporating (Boiling)   A phase change from liquid to gas. Heat increases and molecular motion increases.  
🗑
Condensing   A phase change from gas to liquid. Heat decreases and molecular motion decreases.  
🗑
Molecular Motion   The movement of the particles that make up matter.  
🗑
Definite   Does remain the same value at all times (Ex: The volume is definite means the volume is the same at all times, it changes)  
🗑
Phase Change   A change between different states of matter. Example: Solid melting into a liquid.  
🗑
State of Matter (Phase of Matter)   A description for matter as a solid, liquid, or gas.  
🗑
Element   a pure substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by ordinary chemical means.  
🗑
An element is made up of...   only one type of atom  
🗑
Electron   a negatively charged particle that moves around the nucleus  
🗑
Atomic number   the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.  
🗑
Proton   a positively charged particle located in the nucleus of an atom.  
🗑
Neutron   a particle with no charge located in the nucleus of an atom  
🗑
Periodic table   a chart that organizes the chemical elements based on their properties  
🗑
Nucleus   the positively charged, dense center of an atom that contains protons and neutrons.  
🗑
Mass number   the number of protons plus neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.  
🗑
Atom   the basic unit of matter.  
🗑
An atom is the smallest particle of an...   element that still has all the properties of the element.  
🗑
Atoms are made up of smaller particles called   protons, neutrons, and electrons

🗑
Compound   A substance made of two or elements that are chemically bonded together  
🗑
How is a compound different from an element?   A compound is different from an element because a compound requires the chemical combination of two or more elements. When a compound is formed, it is difficult to break apart. When a compound is formed, it has different properties than both of its orig  
🗑
What is a chemical reaction?   A chemical reaction is the formation of new compounds.  
🗑

🗑


   

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.
