Term
Definition
density   measurable physical property that can be found by dividing the mass of an object by it's volume  
🗑
matter   anything that has a mass and takes up space  
🗑
atom   a very small particle that makes up most kinds of matter and consists of smaller parts called protons, neutrons, and electrons  
🗑
law of conservation of matter   states that matter is not created or destroyed but only changes its form  
🗑
electron   invisible, negatively charged particle located in a cloudlike formation that surrounds the nucleus of an atom  
🗑
nucleus   cell organelle that contains the hereditary material, positively charged, central part of an atom  
🗑
proton   positively charged particle located in the nucleus of an atom and that is counted to identify the atomic number  
🗑
neutron   an uncharged particle located in the nucleus of an atom  
🗑
mass   amount of matter in an object, which is measured in kilograms  
🗑
element   natural or synthetic material that cannot be broken down into simpler materials by ordinary means, has unique properties and is generally classified as a metal, nonmetal, or metalloid  
🗑
atomic number   number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of a given element, is the top number in the periodic table  
🗑
isotope   two or more atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei  
🗑
mass number   sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom  
🗑
atomic mass   average mass of an atom of an element, its unit of measure is the atomic mass unit (u), which is 1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom  
🗑
metal   element that is malleable, ductile, a good conductor of electricity, and generally has a shiny or metallic luster  
🗑
nonmetal   elements that are usually gasses or brittle solids and poor conductors of electricity and heat, are the basis of the chemical of life  
🗑
metalloid   element that has characteristics of both metals and nonmetals and is a solid at room temperture  
🗑
formula   shows which elements and how many atoms of each make up a compund  
🗑
substance   matter that has the same composition and properties throughout  
🗑
compound   a substance produced when elements combine and whose properties are different from each of the elements in it  
🗑
mixture   a combination of compounds and elements that has not formed a new substance and whose proportions can be changed without changing the mixtures identity  
🗑
homogenius   the same throughout, can't see the different parts  
🗑
heterogenius   can see the different parts  
🗑


   

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.
