Miscellaneous
If a material is denser than water, it will do this when placed in a water-filled container
Sink
The amount of matter in an object
Mass
Polymers are made of these subunits
Monomers
This state of matter has a fixed volume and shape
Solid
Basic building blocks of matter
atoms
Glucose (C6H12O6) is composed of this many different elements.
Three (carbon, hydrogen, oxygen)
This kind of property describes how a material reacts with another substance.
Chemical property
Plastics
This state of matter has the highest kinetic energy
Gas
Substance made from at least 2 different elements
Compound
The formula for density
Density = Mass/Volume
Color and density are examples of this kind of property, which does not require a chemical reaction to test for
The prefix "poly" means this
Many
If the temperature of a liquid drops, the kinetic energy of its particles does this
Decreases
two or more atoms held together by a chemical bond
molecule
A desirable outcome given up to gain another desirable outcome.
Trade-Off
How flexible a substance is
Malleability
This polymer is commonly used in body armor
Kevlar
Most elements are this phase at room temperature
solid
A varied number of atoms connected into a large structure, like diamond
Extended Structure
Plastics are lightweight, easy to make, and versatile, but have downsides. For example, they are made from this nonrenewable resource.
Petroleum (oil)
Whether an element dissolves in water
Solubility
Several polymer chains linked together
Cross-Linked Polymer
When drawing particles in state diagrams, we represent particle motion by drawing these - longer for faster motion, shorter for slower motion
Arrows
This type of molecule is made of many small subunits chained together
Polymer
