WHAT IS MATTER?
WHAT IS ANYTHING THAT TAKES PLACE AND HAS MASS
How many main states of matter are there?
What are three? (Solid, liquid, and gas)
What is the smallest part of an element?
What is an atom?
This is a physical combination of two or more substances where each keeps its own properties.
What is a mixture?
This type of change does not form a new substance and can often be reversed.
What is a physical change?
NAME THREE MAIN STATES OF MATTER.
WHAT ARE SOLID, LIQUID AND GAS
Which state of matter takes the shape of its container but has a fixed volume?
What is a liquid?
What is the center of an atom called?
What is the nucleus?
This is formed when two or more elements chemically combine in a fixed ratio.
What is a compound?
Burning wood is an example of this kind of change.
What is a chemical change?
Which state of matter has a definite shape and volume?
What is a solid?
Which state of matter has no fixed shape or volume?
What is a gas?
What are the three main parts of an atom?
What are protons, neutrons, and electrons?
You can separate this mixture of iron filings and sand using a magnet.
What is a heterogeneous mixture?
Melting ice is an example of this type of change in matter.

What is the name of the chart that lists all known elements?
What is the periodic table?
This clear mixture is made when salt dissolves completely in water.
What is a solution?
This is a sign that a chemical change may have occurred, often seen as bubbling or fizzing.
What is the production of gas?
Can gases be compressed (squeezed into a smaller space)? Why or why not?
What is yes, because their particles are far apart?
In which state are the particles packed tightly and only vibrate in place?
What is a solid?
What does the atomic number of an element tell us? What does the atomic number of an element tell us?
What is the number of protons in an atom?
Unlike mixtures, these substances cannot be separated by physical means because they are chemically bonded.
What are compounds?
Rust forming on iron is an example of this kind of change.
