Anything that has mass and takes up space.

What is matter?

100

A measure of how well electric current can move through a substance.

What is electrical conductivity (or conductivity)?

100

A substance that has a definite shape and a definite volume.  It's particles are only vibrating.

What is a solid?

100

When one or more substance change into entirely new substances with different properties.

What is a chemical change?

100

Unit that mass is usually measured with.

What is grams (or kilograms)?

200

A measure of the amount of matter in an object.

What is mass?

200

The temperature at which a solid turns into a liquid.

What is melting point?

200

A substance that has no definite shape.  It expands to fill whatever container it's in.  The particles flow freely.

What is a gas?

200

A change that affects one or more physical properties of a substance.

What is a physical change?

200

Unit that volume is usually measured with.

What is cmor mL?

300

A measure of the amount of mass within a given volume.

What is density?

300

We attempt to burn gold in a fire, but it doesn't burn. This demonstrates a chemical property of gold.

What is non-flammability?

300

An ice cube melts

Liquid water evaporates

Liquid water freezes

What are changes of state?

300

Dissolving sugar in water is an example of this type of change.

What is a physical change?

300

The regular unit of measurement for density.

What is g/cm3 or g/mL?

400

A measure of the amount of space an object takes up.

What is volume?

400

Ability of a substance to dissolve in another substance.

What is solubility?


400

The motion change of particles in a substance as it is being heated.

What is moving faster?

400

Milk that smells really sour and looks chunky is an example of this type of change.

What is a chemical change?

400

A pure substance that has only one kind of atom in it.

What is an element?

500

A substance's ability to change into a new substance with different properties.

What is a chemical property?

500

The ability of a substance to be rolled and pounded into various shapes.

What is malleability?

500

The temperature change of a substance DURING a change of state process.

What is no change?

Remember, as a substance is changing state, the temperature remains constant until the change is complete.

500

A candle burning is an example of this type of change.

What is a chemical and a physical change?

(Must say both!)
