Term
Answer
Matter   anything that has mass and takes up space  
🗑
Physical Change   does not alter the chemical makeup of a substance (breaking, mp, bp, fp)  
🗑
Chemical Property   the ability of a substance to change into a different substance  
🗑
Chemical Change   alters the chemical makeup of a substance (digestion, growth, burning or rotting of food). Involves a chemical reaction  
🗑
States of Matter   Solid: has a defined shape and volume independent of its container. Liquid: has a defined volume but a variable shape that depends on its container. Gas: no defined shape or volume, has a variable shape and volume that depends on its container.  
🗑
Intensive Properties   do not depend on the amount of the substance (melting pt., boiling pt., density)  
🗑
Pure   can be either an element (Oxygen, Sulfur) like pure metals (Gold) or a compound like salt or water. always the same composition and properties  
🗑
Mixture   can be homogeneous (same throughout, one phase) or heterogeneous (not the same throughout, many phases) (seawater, mayo, rocks)  
🗑
Extensive Properties   dependent on the amount of a substance (mass and volume)  
🗑
