A pure substance that cannot be separated into simpler substances by physical or chemical means.
What is an element?
100
The smallest particle into which an element can be divided and still be the same substance.
What is an atom?
100
A list of elements that are classified as metal, nonmetals, and metalloids according to their properties.
What is the periodic table?

State of matter that does not change shape and has particles that are close together.
What is a solid?
200
The three major categories of elements.
What are metals, nonmetals, and metalloids?
200
The center of an atom which contains protons and neutrons.
What is a nucleus?
200
A horizontal row on the periodic table.
What is a period.
300
The curve at a liquid's surface by which one measures the volume of the liquid.
What is meniscus?
300
State of matter that has a definite volume, but its shape may be different.
What is a liquid?
300
A pure substance composed of two or more elements that are chemically combined.
What is a compound?

A combination of two or more substances that are not chemically combined.
What is a mixture?
400
A subatomic particle that has a negative charge.
What is an electron?
400
