intensive properties | do not depend on the amount of matter present |
physical change | a change in a substance that doesn't involve a change in identity |
chemical change | a change where a new substance is formed |
condensing | gas to liquid |
sublimination | solid to gas |
deposition | gas to solid |
empirical formula | smallest whole number or atoms |

chemistry | study of composition and structure of matter |
matter | anything that has mass and occupies space |
atomic number | number of protons |
atomic mass | number of neutrons + electrons |
