🗑
amorphous solids   solid without shape or form  
🗑
gas   indefinite volume and no fixed shape  
🗑
attractive forces   hold the particles together and give matter its appearance of continuity; strongest in solids, giving them rigidity, weaker in liquid, and weakest in gases.  
🗑
pure substance   a definite, fixed composition and is either an element or a compound  
🗑
homogeneous mixture    
🗑
heterogeneous matter   consists of two or more physically distinct phases  
🗑
phase   a homogeneous part of a system separated from other parts by a physical boundary

metric or international system   standard system of measurements for mass lengths, time and other physical quantities  
🗑
meter   standard unit of length of metric system  
🗑
element   fundamental substance that cannot be broken down by chemical means into simpler substance; building blocks of matter  
🗑

🗑
Dimitri Mendeleev   developed the periodic table in 1869  
🗑
metals   solids at room temperature (except mercury); shiny, good conductors of heat and electricity; malleable (can be shaped); ductile; have a high melting point and density  
🗑
nonmetals   not shiny; have fairly low melting points and densities; poor conductors of heat and electricity; can combine with each other to form molecullar compounds  
🗑
metalloids   have properties between metals and nonmetals  
🗑
compound   a substance containing two or more elements that are chemically combined in a definite proportion; decompose chemically into simpler  
🗑
