States of Matter
We used this to measure mass in the lab.
What is an (electronic) balance?
Matter goes through this when it changes the way it looks without becoming a new kind of matter.
What is physical change?
Solids, liquids, and gases are this.
What are the 3 states of matter?
This state of matter fills the entire space of the container it is in, is compressible and does not have a definite shape.
What is a gas?
This is the amount of matter in a substance.
What is mass?
This is made up of two or more kinds of matter that can be physically separated out.
What is a mixture?
This is a physical property that does not depend on amount of substance present.
What is a intensive property?
This state of matter having high density, that is not compressible and has definite shape and volume.
What is a solid?
When a substance dissolves in another substance such that you can not see either substance in the final product.
What is a solution?
This is when a substance goes from a solid to a gas?
What is sublimation?
In this state of matter, the particles flow past one another because they are held loosely together, is not compressible, and has definite volume but indefinite shape.
What is a liquid?
This is the formula for water.
What is H2O?
One kind of matter changes into another when this happens.
What is a chemical change?
This is the amount of space a substance occupies.
What is volume?
If an substance having a low value for this property will float over water.
What is density?
This physical property is dependent on the amount of matter you have.
What is an extensive property?
A substances having a lot of empty space between them and can be forced into a smaller volume under pressure.
What is compressible?
