States of Matter
Matter that has both definite shape and volume
Solid
A trait of matter that can be observed without changing the chemical composition of the matter
Physical Property
A pure substance that cannot be separated into simpler substances by physical or chemical means.
Element
The substance in a solution that is dissolved
solute
Energy stored by an object
Potential Energy
Matter that has a definite volume but no definite shape
Liquid
A trait of matter that can only be observed if a substance is chemically altered
Chemical Property
Pure substance composed of two or more elements that can be broken down by chemical reactions
Compound
The substance in a solution that dissolves the other substance
solvent
Heat is absorbed by the substance (ex: ice melting)
Endothermic
Matter that has no definite volume or shape
gas
A property that does not depend on the amount of substance present
Intensive Property
Combination of two or more substances that are not chemically combined, formed and separated through physical means
Mixture
Atomic/molecular disorder, organization, or freedom of motion
Entropy
Energy that travels through space
Radiant Energy
Phase with (generally) the highest density
Solid
A property that depends on the amount of substance present
Extensive Property
A mixture that appears to be a single substance but is composed of particles of two or more substances distributed evenly among each other
Homogeneous
Well blended, same throughout and uniform
Homogeneous Mixture
Heat is released into the surroundings
Exotherimic
Phase of matter with the highest entropy
Gas or Plasma
A separation technique which separates substances based on their attraction to a solid phase. Uses a solvent to move the mixture up the solid phase.
Chromatography
During any chemical or physical process, the amount of matter stays the same, but the form can change
Law of Conservation of Matter
This law demonstrates that atoms exist
The Law of Multiple Proportions
During any process, energy cannot be created nor destroyed, only changed in form
Law of Conservation of Energy
