VOCAB 1
the process by which substances break down into small pieces and spread evenly throughout a liquid (water)
Dissolving
Does not dissolve in water
Insoluble
anything that has mass and takes up space
Matter
energy related to the temperature of an object or a substance
Thermal Energy
A definite shape and volume
Solid
a substance or object that allows energy to flow through it easily
Conductor
a state of matter in which the substance expands to take both the shape and the volume of its container
Gas
The amount of matter in something
Mass
an attracting or repelling force that causes a magnetic material to move
Solid, Liquid, and Gas
States of Matter
floating or sinking when compared to water
Relative Density
take the shape of their container, filling the bottom of the container first; has the ability to flow
Liquid
a type of mixture in which the particles of one or more substances are dissolved (uniformly dispersed throughout) in another substance
Solution
properties of matter that can be observed, measured, or changed without changing the matter itself
Physical Properties
Removing heat changes a LIQUID TO A SOLID
FREEZING
energy that is absorbed or delivered by an electric circuit
Electrical Energy
Heating changes LIQUID TO A GAS
Evaporation
a combination of two or more substances that can be easily separated in some physical way
Mixture
a substance or object that does not allow energy to flow through it easily
Insulator
the temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid to a solid or a solid to a liquid by the removal or addition of heat; for water this temperature is 0°C
Melting/freezing point
the ability of a substance to dissolve in another substance, such as sugar dissolving in water
Solubility
Heating changes a SOLID TO A LIQUID
Melting
the decimal measuring system based on the meter, liter, and gram as units of length, volume (capacity), and weight or mass
Metric System
Removing heat changes a GAS TO A LIQUID
Condensation
How much space matter takes up
Volume
