Question | Answer |
Mass | the measure of the amount of matter |
volume | the amount of 3D space an object occupies |
atom | the smallest unit of an element that maintains the chemical identity of that element. |
element | pure substance that cannot be broken down into simpler, stable substances. Made of one atom. |
extensive properties | depend on the amount of matter present. volume, mass, amount of energy in a substance |
intensive properties | do not depend on the amount of matter present. melting point, boiling point, density, and ability to conduct electricity and transfer heat. |
alloy | a substance composed of two or more metals (or metals & a nonmetal) |
molecule | the smallest unit of an element or compound that retains all of the properties of that element or compound |
colloid | a mixture consisting of tiny particles that are intermediate in size between those in solutions & those in suspensions and that are suspended in a liquid, solid, or gas |
suspension | a mixture in which particles of a material are more or less evenly dispersed throughout a liquid or gas. |
ductility | the ability of a substance to be hammered thin or drawn out into a wire |
group | vertical column |
malleability | the ability of a substance to be hammered or beaten into a sheet. |
period | horizontal row. elements in a period tend to be the most similar to each other |
tensile strength | a measure of the ability of material to resist a force that tends to pull it apart. |
scientific method | a logical approach to solving problems by observing and collecting data, formulating hypotheses, testing hypotheses and formulating theories that are supported by data. |
system | a specific portion of matter in a given region of space that has been selected for study during an experiment or observation. |
quantitative | numerical data |
qualitative | descriptive data when observing |
quantity | something that has size, magnitude, or amount. |
SI | the meter, kilogram, second, kelvin (temp.), mole (amount of substance), ampere (electric current), and candela (luminous intensity) |
weight | the measure of gravitational pull on an object |
derived unit | combination of SI base units |
conversion factor | a ration derived from the equality between two different units that can be used to convert from one unit to the other. |
dimensional analysis | a mathematical technique that allows you to use units to solve problems involving measurements. |
Density equation | D = M / V |
Percentage error equation | experimental value - accepted value divided by accepted value, times 100 |
accuracy | closeness to actual measurement |
precision | closeness to your other measurements |
significant figures rules | - zeros between nonzero digits are significant (5008) - zeros at the end of a number & to the right of a decimal place are significant (9000 or .09) |
directly proportional | if you can divide one by the other & get a constant value (straight line) |
inversely proportional | their product is constant. hyperbola. |
