Classifying Types of Matter
This term refers to substances made of two or more different types of atoms chemically bonded together
What is a compound?
This property describes a substance's ability to undergo a chemical reaction and form new substances
What are chemical properties?
This formula is used to calculate the density of an object.
What is density = mass/volume?
This term refers to a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances where one is dissolved in the other
What is a solution?
This state of matter has a definite shape and volume, with particles that are closely packed together
What is a solid?
These types of matter cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means
What are elements?
This property can be observed without changing the identity of the substance, such as color or melting point.
What are physical properties?
This unit is commonly used to express density.
What is g/mL or g/cm^3?
This scale measures the acidity or basicity of a solution, ranging from 0 to 14
What is the pH scale?
This phase change occurs when a liquid turns into a gas
What is evaporation?
This classification of matter includes a mixture where the composition is uniform throughout.
What is a homogeneous mixture?
The temperature at which a substance changes from solid to liquid is known as this
What is the melting point?
An object will float in water if its density is this compared to water
What is less than 1 g/cm³?
A solution with a pH less than 7 is classified as this
What is an acid?
This state of matter has no definite shape but HAS a definite volume, allowing particles to slide past each other
What is a liquid?
An example of this mixture consists of oil and water, where the two components do not mix evenly.
What is a heterogeneous mixture?
This term refers to the amount of mass per unit volume of a substance
What is density?
This term describes the measure of how much matter is packed into a given volume
What is density?
Substances that change color in response to changes in pH are known as this
What is an indicator?
This term refers to the change of state from gas to solid without becoming a liquid first.
What is deposition?
This type of matter consists of two or more substances that are not chemically combined
What is a mixture?
This chemical property refers to how readily a substance combines with other substances
What is reactivity?
To find the density of an irregularly shaped object, you can use this method.
What is water displacement?
This term refers to the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a specific temperature
What is solubility?
The temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid to a gas is called this
What is boiling point?
