🗑
Chemical Symbols   Letter or letters that are used to represent the elements, such as H or O  
🗑
Coefficient   A number in front of a chemical formula in an equation that indicates how many molecules or atoms of each reactant and product are involved in a reaction.  
🗑
Compound   Pure substance made of two or more elements that are chemical combined  
🗑
Condensation   Gas turning into a liquid from a loss of thermal energy; such as water vapor turning into water droplets in a cloud  
🗑
Conservation of Mass   Law that states the total mass of the reactants must equal the total mass of the products  
🗑

🗑
Deposition   Occurs when a gas (vapor) turns to a solid (frost) without going through the liquid phase  
🗑
Element   Simplest pure substance, represented by a chemical symbol  
🗑
Endothermic   Reaction or change that absorbs energy during the process  
🗑
Evaporation   Type of vaporization that occurs at the surface of a liquid; such as water turning into water vapor at the surface of a puddle  
🗑
Exothermic   Reaction or change that gives off energy during the process  
🗑
Freezing   Liquid turning into a solid from a loss of thermal energy  
🗑
Gas   Phase of matter that does not have a definite shape or volume as it takes up any available space; particles far apart  
🗑
Liquid   Phase of matter with a definite volume, but no definite shape as it takes the shape of its container; particles further apart and moving past one another  
🗑
Mass   Amount of matter in an object; does not change with changes in gravity  
🗑
Matter   Anything that has mass and volume  
🗑
Melting   Solid turning into a liquid from a gain of thermal energy  
🗑

🗑
Periodic Table   Shows the periodic properties of elements with the elements organized into families or groups (columns) and periods (rows)  
🗑
Phase (State)   Form for matter with varying levels of thermal energy; solids, liquids, and gases  
🗑
Physical change   Change in size, shape, or state; does not create a new substance  
🗑
Physical property   Describes the appearance and other characteristics of matter, such as its color, shape, or size

Pressure   The amount of force exerted per unit area of a surface; may cause matter to change state  
🗑
Products   Substances that are produced by a chemical reaction  
🗑
Reactants   Substances that enter into a chemical reactions  
🗑
Reaction Rate   The speed at which a chemical reaction takes place  
🗑
Solid   Phase of matter with a definite shape and volume; particles closely packed and vibrate in position  
🗑
Sublimation   Occurs when a solid (dry ice) turns to a gas (CO2 gas) without going through the liquid phase  
🗑
Subscript   Number that shows the number of atoms of each element in a compound  
🗑
Vaporization   Occurs when a liquid changes into a gas; may be evaporation or boiling  
🗑
Volume   Amount of space an object takes up  
🗑
Weight   Measure of the force of gravity acting on an object; changes with changes in gravity (such as weighing less on the moon)  
🗑


   

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.
