Properties
Anything that has mass and takes up space (has volume)
What is matter?
An evenly distributed mixture made by dissolving one substance in another.
What is a solution?
The state of matter in which a substance has a definite shape and a definite volume.
What is solid?
A characteristic of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing the composition or the identity of the substance. (Such as appearance, odor, density)
What are physical properties?
A physical change that is reversible.
What is a phase change?
Characteristics that describe how one kind of matter is different from another.
What are properties?
The substance in a solution that gets dissolved.
What is a solute?
The state of matter in which a substance has a definite volume.
What is a liquid?
The ratio of a substance's mass to its volume, defined by the equation: mass/volume
What is density?
What is melting?
The smallest chemical unit of element.
What is an atom?
The substance in a solution in which the solute dissolves.
What is a solvent?
The state of matter in which a substance has neither a definite shape nor a definite volume.
What is a gas?
Those properties that are measured or observed when matter undergoes a change and becomes an entirely different kind of matter.
What are chemical properties?
Malleability is a __________ property of a solid.
What is a physical property?
A pure substance that cannot be broken down into a simpler substance and contains only one type of atom.
A student wants to make a sweet syrup for her hummingbird feeder. She places a cup of of water into a pot and heats the water on the stove. Then she adds a cup of sugar, stirring until the sugar completely dissolves. The sugar represents this mixture.
What is a solute?
The energy an object has due to its motion.
The ability of matter to burn in the presence of oxygen and a chemical property.
What is flammability?
Most matter on Earth exists one of three stage: solid, liquid, or gas. The fifth state of matter exists at extremely cold temperatures.
What is the Bose-Einstein Condensate (or BEC)?
A pure substance that contains two of more elements chemically joined in a fixed proportion.
What is a compound?
A student wants to make a sweet syrup for her hummingbird feeder. She places a cup of of water into a pot and heats the water on the stove. Then she adds a cup of sugar, stirring until the sugar completely dissolves. The water represents this mixture.
What is a solvent?
This state of matter has particles with the most kinetic energy of motion.
What are gas particles?
All these are physical properties of matter except one:
1. appearance and odor
2. flammability
3. density
4. melting point
What is flammability?
Most matter on Earth exists one of three stage: solid, liquid, or gas. The fourth state of matter exists at very high temperatures.
What is plasma?
