Basics of Matter
A measure of how much matter is in an object.
What is mass?
Using this device, a chemist can determine the mass of an object to nearest hundredth of a gram.
What is a triple beam balance?
What is physical change?
This is a substance that is made of just one type of atom.
What is an element?
What is proton?
A measure of how much space an object takes up.
What is volume?
A volume of liquid can be determined using this chemistry tool.
What is a graduated cylinder?
A measure of how well a substance can dissolve in a liquid.
What is solubility?
Water, which is made of hydrogen and oxygen atoms in a fixed proportion, is an example of this type of substance.
What is a compound?
Nearly all of the mass in an atom is contained within the center, called this.
What is nucleus?
A measure of how compact a substance is.
What is density?
This technique can be used to separate a liquid from an undissolved solid.
What is filtration?
When food cooks, it undergoes what is called the Maillard reaction, where it browns and develops flavor. This is an example of what kind of change?
What is a chemical change?
This type of mixture is uniform, and to the naked eye is indistinguishable from a pure substance.
What is a homogeneous mixture?
A neutral atom will need to contain an equal number of these two particles.
If you need to determine the density of an object, perform this calculation.
What is mass divided by volume?
What is distillation (boiling)?
When objects made of glass are rapidly heated and then cooled, they can shatter. This is an example of what kind of change?
What is a physical change?
Oil and water form this type of mixture, where there is a clear separation between different substances.
What is a heterogeneous mixture?
Elements commonly have multiple stable isotopes, which differ from each other by the number of this particle in the nucleus.
What is neutron?
An object that has a density of 2.00 g/mL will surely do this if placed in water.
What is sink?
This technique can be used to separate two immiscible liquids (liquids that do not mix).
What is decanting?
A measure of how well a substance can carry heat, sound, or electric current.
What is a conductivity?
All of the known elements are organized into this.
What is the periodic table?
An atom that contains differing numbers of protons and electrons is known as this.
What is an ion?
