Classifying Matter

100

I am a substance that CANNOT be broken down into simpler substances. 

Element

200

I am the smallest particle of an element. 

Atom

300

I am a substance that is made from 2 of more simpler substances. 

Hint: I can be broken down into simpler substances. 

Compound

400

I am a type of mixture where the parts of the mixture are noticeably different from one another. 

Heterogeneous Mixture

500

I am a type of mixture where the substances are evenly distributed. 

Homogeneous Mixture

Mixtures

100

An oreo, health, Blizzard would be an example of this type of mixture. 

Heterogeneous Mixture

200

Peanut butter is an example of this type of mixture. 

Homogeneous Mixture

300

I am a mixture that forms when substances dissolve (usually in water) and form a homogenous Mixture. 

Solution

400

I am a type of heterogeneous mixture that separates into layers over time. 

Suspension. 

500

I am a mixture that contains some particles that are intermediate in size between the small particles in a solution and the larger particles in a suspension. 

Colloid

Physical Properties

100

I am the tendency of a liquid to keep from flowing; resistance to flowing. 

Viscosity

200

I am a material's ability to allow heat to flow. 

Conductivity 

300

I am the ability of a solid to be hammered without shattering. 

Malleability

400

I am the temperature at which a substance changes from solid to liquid. 

Melting Point

500

I am what occurs when some of the properties of a material change. 

Physical Change

Physical Prop Cont.

100

I am the process that separates materials based on the size of their particles. 

Filtration 

200

I am a process that separates the substances in a solution based on their boiling points. 

Distillation

300

A 0 degrees Celcius water does this. 

Melting Point

400

At 100 degrees Celcius water does this. 

Boiling Point

500

Which substance would have a higher melting point Table Salt or Gold? Why?

Gold

Because gold has more hardness than salt it requires more heat for the reaction to take effect. 

Chemical Properties

100

I am any ability to produce a change in the composition of matter. 

Chemical Property. 

200

I am a material's ability to burn in the presence of oxygen. 

Flammability 

300

I am the property that describes how readily a substance combines chemically with other substances. 

Reactivity. 

400

I am what occurs when a substance reacts and forms one of more new substances. 

Chemical Change

500

I am any solid that forms and separates from a liquid mixture.
