Matter is anything that has ....

mass and volume

The state of matter in which the particles are vibrating in place and have a fixed volume and shape is called ...

solids. 
100

When a solid becomes a liquid. 

Melting

Properties of matter (ways we can describe matter) that can be observed without changing the identity of the matter are called ...

physical properties

Which historic scientist and Greek Philosopher suggested that all matter is made of smaller particles that we can't see. 

Democritus

What are the three subatomic particles?

Protons, neutrons, and electrons

200
Weight is a measurement of ...

the gravitational pull on an object

200
The state of matter in which particles are moving around very quickly and have no definite shape and volume is called...

gas

There are small droplets of water on the side of an ice cold glass of lemonade. What phase change is this evidence of? 

Condensation - water vapor touches the side of the cold glass and turns into a liquid.

200
Flammability, ability to rust, reactivity with water are examples of ... 

Chemical properties - in order to test if the object has these properties, you would need to change the identity of the matter!

Brown was a botanist who observed pollen moving in the water. What was his theory as to why the pollen was moving? Why was is actually moving? 

He thought it was alive. Later, we realized that he was actually observing the movement of the larger particles (the pollen) by the unobservable molecules and atoms.

What type of subatomic particle is UNIQUE to an element? (the same as the atomic number) 

Protons

300

Mass is a measurement of

the amount of matter (stuff) inside an object. 

300

The state of matter in which particles slide past each other and have a fixed volume but indefinite shape is called..

liquid

300
After a few very hot weeks, the water level in a pool is lower. This is evidence of what type of phase change? 

Evaporation - liquid (water) evaporating to become water vapor (gas). 

300

Dry ice undergoes sublimation and goes directly from a solid to a gas. What type of change is this? 

Physical - all phase changes are physical changes! It is all still Carbon dioxide. The chemical formula (molecular structure) of the matter is still the same!

What is the Osiris Rex

a nasa spacecraft that was sent to space to collect a small sample of matter from a near Earth asteroid named Bennu. 

300

Where is the mass of the atom? How is the mass calculated?

In the nucleus - the protons and neutrons added together

400
The amount of space an object takes up is called...

volume

400

The phase of matter that moves around very quickly and has charged particles is called ...

plasma. 

400
During a particularly cold night, frost appears on the grass. This is evidence of what type of phase change? 

Deposition - gas to solid.

You cut up an avocado and put in on a plate. As you make your tacos, you realize the avocado is now brown. Two types of changes happened. What are they? 

Cutting - physical change

Oxidation (browning of the avocado) - chemical change

400
What causes the attractive forces between the particles? Which has stronger attractive forces, solids or gases. 

The charges of the subatomic particles (protons and electrons) are what causes the attractive forces. Solids have stronger attractive forces than gases because the particles are closer together. (think about how magnets have stronger pulls on each other when they are closer together). 

400

How many electrons can fit on each of the first four electron shells? (K, L, M, and N) 

2- 8- 8- 8 

500

List two things that are not considered matter. 

Light and sound. 

500

Most of the universe is made up of matter in what state. 

Plasma! 

500
During a phase change, heat may be added or taken away, but the temperature stays constant. Why?

During phase changes, the added/removed thermal energy (heat) is being used to break apart/form the electromagnetic bonds between the particles. 

500

You pour olive oil and water into a beaker and realize they are different layers. Why? Does this have to do with the substances physical or chemical properties? 

The densities of the substances are different which is a physical property. The water is on the bottom because water is more dense (the particles are more tightly packed) than the oil. 

500

At what temperature would particles stop moving altogether? Has this ever happened? 

o Kelvins - no, it is all theoretical and has never actually been achieved

By looking at a Bohr Diagram, how can you tell if an element is reactive?

By looking at the outer shell (valence shell) and seeing if it is full. If it is full, the element is likely not reactive If it isn't full, the element is reactive.
