🗑
Technology   The practical use of scientific information  
🗑
Substance (Pure)   Matter that has a uniform and unchanging composition  
🗑
Physical Property   A characteristic that can be observed or measured without changing the sample's composition  
🗑
Extensive Properties   A physical property that is dependent on the amount of the substance present. i.e. mass, length, volume  
🗑
Intensive Properties   A physical property that in independent of the amount of the substance present. i.e. density, boiling point  
🗑
Chemical Property   The ability of a substance to combine with or change into one or more other substances i.e. iron-rust, copper-copper carbonate  
🗑
States of Matter   Classification system for all matter on Earth  
🗑
Solid   A form of matter that has its own definite shape and volume. i.e. ice, salt  
🗑
Liquid   A form of matter that flows, and constant volume, and takes the shape of its container. i.e. water, milk  
🗑
Gas   A form of matter that flows to conform to the shape of its container and fills the entire volume of its container i.e. oxygen  
🗑
Vapor   The gaseous state of a substance that is a solid or liquid at room temperature. i.e. water vapor  
🗑
Physical Change   Changes to a substance that don't change its composition i.e. cut, bend, change state  
🗑
Chemical Change   The process of one or more substances changing into new substances. i.e. Rust  
🗑
Law of Conservation of Mass   States that mass is neither created or destroyed.  
🗑
Law of Conservation of Mass formula   Mass (reactants)= Mass (products)  
🗑
Antoine Lavoisier   French Scientist who developed the Law of Conservation of Matter  
🗑
Mixture   A combination of two or more pure substances in which each pure substance retains its individual chemical properties.  
🗑
Heterogeneous Mixture   A mixture that does not blend smoothly throughout and in which the individual substances remain distinct. i.e. Oil & Water  
🗑
Homogeneous Mixture   A mixture with a constant composition throughout. i.e. salt & water  
🗑
Solutions   Another name for a homogeneous mixture. i.e. laughing gas (gas-gas), metal alloy (solid-solid), soda (gas, liquid), lemonade (solid-liquid)  
🗑
Filtration   A technique that uses a porous barrier to separate a solid from a liquid.  
🗑
Distillation   A separation technique that is based on difference in the boiling points of the substances involved.  
🗑
Crystallization   A separation technique that results in the formation of pure solid particles of a substance. i.e. rock candy  
🗑
Chromatography   A separation technique based on the tendency of each substance to travel across the surface of another material.  
🗑
Element   A pure substance that can not be separated into simpler substances by physical or chemical means

🗑
Periodic Table   Organization of elements based on similar properties and masses  
🗑
Dmitri Mendeleev   1896 Russian chemist that designed the periodic table  
🗑
Periods   rows in the periodic table  
🗑
Families or Groups   Columns in the periodic table.  
🗑
Similar Electron Structures   Why elements in the same group have similar chemical and physical properties  
🗑
Why "Periodic"   Table is "periodic" because the pattern of similar properties repeats as you move from period to period  
🗑
Compounds   A combination of two or more different elements that are combined chemically and broken down chemically. They are more stable than the elements that make them. i.e. water, salt  
🗑
Law of Definite Proportions   Regardless of the amount, a compound is always composed of the same elements in the same proportion by mass.  
🗑
Percent by Mass   ratio of the mass of the element to the mass of the compound  
🗑
Joseph Proust   1797 The founder of the Law of Definite Proportions  
🗑
John Dalton   1808 The founder of the Law of Multiple Proprotions  
🗑
Law of Multiple Proportions   When different compounds are formed by the combination of the same elements, different masses of one element combine with the same mass of the other element in small whole number rations. i.e. CO vs CO2  
🗑


   

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.
