An element
What is a substance that cannot be broken down into simpoler substances?
100
Physical Properties
Viscosity, conductivity, malleability, hardness, melting point, boiling point, and density are all examples of these.
100
Density
This property is the ratio of the mass of a substance to its volume.
100
Chemical Property
What is any ability to produce a change in the composition of matter?
100
Solid
What is the state of matter in which materials have a definite shape and a definite volume?
200
A compound
What is a substance that is made from two or more simpler substances and can be broken down into those simpler substances?
200
viscosity
What is the tendency of a liquid to keep from flowing--its resistance to flowing?
200
Physical properties.
These are used to identify a material, to choose a meterial for a specific purpose, or to separate the subatances in a mixture.
200
Flammability
What is a material's ability to burn in the presence of oxygen.
200
Liquid
What is the state of matter in which a material has a definite volume but not a definite shape?
300
A compound.
What always contains two or more elements joined in a fixed proportion?
300
Conductivity
This is a materials ability to allow heat to flow.
300
Filtration and distillation.
What are two common ways to seperate materials?
300
Reactivity
What describes how readily a substance combines chemically with other substances?
300
Gas
What is the state of matter in which a material has neither a definate shape nor a definite volume?
400
A mixture
The properties of this can vary because the composition of this is not fixed.
400
Malleability
What is the ability of a solid to be hammered without shattering. Most metals have this property.
400
Filtration.
What is the process that separates materials based on the size of their particles?
400
A chemical change.
This occurs when a substance reacts and forms one or more new substances.
400
Plasma
What is the fourth state of matter?
500
A heterogeneous mixture.
The parts of this type of mixture are noticeably different from one another.
500
Hardness
What is the resistance of a material to being scratched?
500
Distillation.
What is a process that separates the substances in a solution based on their boiling points?
500
A change in color, the production of a gas, and the formation of a precipitate.
What are three common types of evidence for a chemical change?
500
