Elements
An element with the symbol H
Hydrogen
A gem that is naturally formed, non living, has a uniform molecular structure, and has a chemical formula OR is pure element
Mineral
This common chemical property describes how easily a substance will catch fire and sustain combustion when exposed to an ignition source.
Flammability
You can see through the substance
Transparent
When two chemicals "fall in love," they evenly connect together.
Synthesis
Though it's a metal, this element—also known as quicksilver—is the only one that remains liquid at standard room temperature.
Mercury
When a mineral glows under UV light.
Flourescence
The toxicity of this liquid transition metal is why it was phased out of school thermometers, though it was long used to extract gold and form metallic mixtures called amalgams.
Mercury
Light can pass through the substance
Translucent
When chemicals break apart.
Decomposition
Named after the Greek word for "green," this toxic gas is widely used today to keep swimming pools clean and disinfected.
Chlorine
When a mineral CONTINUES to glow after exposed to a UV light.
Phosphorescence
When you drop a piece of chalk into vinegar, bubbles form because of this chemical property, which describes how a substance fights or bonds with a different chemical.
Reactivity
This property can only be calculated measure each side of the object
Volume
When one element replaces another in a chemical reaction. For example, an iron nail becoming a copper nail.
Single displacement
Discovered by Marie and Pierre Curie in 1898, this highly radioactive alkaline earth metal was famously used to paint glow-in-the-dark watch dials before its extreme health hazards were realized.
Radium
The element that causes a mineral to glow
Activator
When a chemical reaction produces heat
Exothermic
If measurements are not available, volume can be attained through a method that requires a volumetric cylinder.
Water displacement
A chemical that burns green.
Copper (sulfate)
Essential for photosynthesis, this lightweight alkaline earth metal sits at the very center of every chlorophyll molecule and burns with an intense, blinding white light when ignited.
Magnesium
Although blue, the famous Hope Diamond glows an interesting color under UV light
When glow sticks are cracked, they emit light because a chemical change is releasing energy, a process known by this word.
Luminescent
Named after a German mineralogist, this qualitative scale rates the scratch resistance of various minerals from 1 for talc to 10 for diamond.
Mohs
Two liquids are mixed. The mass of the mixture is LESS than the mass of the two reactants. The missing mass isn't lost but can be found in a different state of matter.
Gas
