Density and Bouyancy
The formula for Density is
Has definite shape and volume
A solid
Antoine Lavoisier
The metric systems standard unit for mass is
Grams
Anything that has mass and volume
Matter
The name for the method invented by Archimedes to find the volume of an irregularly shaped object
Water Displacement
Has indefinite shape and indefinite volume (charges of particles are the same)
Gas
Studied radioactivity and half lives. Discovered and named several radioactive elements
Marie Curie
In science we use this to measure temperature for normal conditions on Earth (not space)
Celsius
A fluid which does not have a predictable viscosity based on the pressure applied
A Non-Newtonian Fluid
The density of an object which sinks to the bottom of a pool must be
Greater than the number 1
The most common state of matter in the solar system
Plasma
Robert Boyle
The standard metric unit for volume
Liters
The shrinking of most substances when heat is taken away
Thermal Contraction
The term for the upwards force created by the amount of water an object displaces
Bouyant force
Will change its shape when poured into different containers but not its volume
Liquids
Arranged one of the first periodic tables. Accurately predicted some gaps in the periodic table
Dmitri Mendeleev
The standard metric unit for length
A meter
The expanding of most materials when heated up
Thermal expansion
Ice cubes made from water sink in rubbing alcohol because
Rubbing alcohol is less dense than ice.
When you enough of this or take away enough of this to something you can change its phase of matter
Inventor of the spectroscope
Robert Bunsen
The tool that was used before digital scales to calculate mass
A triple beam balance
Going from a solid directly to a gas and skipping the liquid phase
Sublimation
