Question
Answer
Composition   the kinds of atoms the matter contains  
🗑
Atoms   the almost infinitesimally small building blocks of matter  
🗑
Property   any characteristic that allows us to recognize a particular type of matter and to distinguish it from other types  
🗑
Matter   the physical material of the universe; it is anything that has mass and occupies space  
🗑
States of Matter   -Solid -Liquid -Gas  
🗑
Molecules   two or more atoms are joined together in specific shapes  
🗑
Structure   the arrangement of atoms  
🗑
Solid   has both definite shape and a definite volume  
🗑
Liquid   has a distinct volume independent of its container but has not specific shape  
🗑
Gas/Vapor   no fixed volume or shape  
🗑
Mixtures   combinations of two or more substances in which each substance retains its own chemical identity  
🗑
Compounds   substances composed of two or more elements  
🗑
Pure Substance   is matter that has distinct properties and a composition that does not vary from sample to sample  
🗑
Physical Properties   can be observed without changing the identity and composition of the substance  
🗑
Law of Constant Composition/Definite Proportions   the observation that the elemental composition of a pure compound is always the same  
🗑
Solutions   a mixture of substances that has a uniform composition; a homogeneous mixture  
🗑
Elements   a substance that cannot be separated into simpler substances by chemical means  
🗑
Chemical Properties   describe the way a substance may change, or react, to form other substances  
🗑
Physical Change   changes that occur with no change in chemical composition  
🗑
Extensive Properties   a property that depends on the amount of material considered; for example, mass or volume  
🗑
Intensive Properties   a property that is independent of the amount of material considered; for example, density  
🗑
Changes of State   transformations of matter from one state to a different one, for example, from a gas to a liquid  
🗑
Chemical Change/Chemical Reaction   processes in which one or more substances are converted into other substances  
🗑
C   Carbon  
🗑
F   Fluorine  
🗑
H   Hydrogen  
🗑
I   Iodine  
🗑
N   Nitrogen  
🗑
O   Oxygen  
🗑
P   Phosphorus  
🗑
S   Sulfur  
🗑
Al   Aluminum  
🗑
Br   Bromine  
🗑
Ca   Calcium  
🗑
Cl   Chlorine  
🗑
He   Helium  
🗑
Li   Lithium  
🗑
Mg   Magnesium  
🗑
Si   Silicon  
🗑
Cu   Copper  
🗑
Fe   Iron  
🗑
Pb   Lead  
🗑
Hg   Mercury  
🗑
K   Potassium  
🗑
Ag   Silver  
🗑
Na   Sodium  
🗑
Sn   Tin  
🗑
Significant Figures   the digits that indicate the precision with which a measurement is made; all digits of a measured quantity are significant, including the last digit, which is uncertain  
🗑
Precision   the closeness of agreement among several measurements of the same quantity; the reproducibility of a measurement  
🗑
Metric System   a system of measurement used in science and in most countries. The meter and the gram are example of metric units  
🗑
Mass   a measure of the amount of material in an object. It measures the resistance of an object to be moved. In SI units, mass is measured in kilograms  
🗑
Kelvin Scale   the absolute temperature scale; the SI unit for temperature is the Kelvin. Zero on the Kelvin scale corresponds to -273.15 C; therefore, K = C + 273.15  
🗑
Accuracy   a measure of how closely individual measurements agree with the correct value  
🗑
SI Units   the preferred metric units for use in science  
🗑
Celsius Scale   a temperature scale on which water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100 degrees at sea level  
🗑
Density   the ratio of an object's mass to its volume  
🗑
Dimensional Analysis   a method of problem solving in which units are carried through all calculations. Dimensional analysis ensures that the final answer of a calculation has the desired units  
🗑
Conversion Factor   a ratio relating the same quantity in two systems of units that is used to convert the units of measurement  
🗑
