matter vs mass
mass is the amount of matter in an object
matter is anything that has mass and takes up space
A _______ is a state of matter with a fixed shape and volume.

What is the difference between an mixture and a compound?
compounds consist of two or more different types of atoms. chemically bonded together.
in a mixture substances stay the same and can be separated by physical means.
A change in the physical substance but not the actual substance itself
Physical change
After going through a chemical change the atoms gain mass resulting in a new substance.
False. The atoms in the original substance rearrange to form a new substance.
