100

Particles in this state vibrate in fixed positions. 

Solid

100

Ice melting is an example of this type of change.

Physical change

100

A substance made of only one type of atom.

Element

100

This symbol represents oxygen.

O

100

Why is melting ice not considered a chemical reaction?

No new substance is formed

200

This state has particles close together but able to move past one another.

Liquid

200

Rust forming on iron is this type of change.

Chemical change

200

Water (H2O) is an example of this.

Compound

200

Most elements on the periodic table are these: metals or non-metals?

Metals

200

This type of chemical reaction decreases the temperature of the surrounding area

Endothermic

300

In this state, particles move freely and fill the container.

Gas

300

This change results in a new substance being formed.

Chemical change

300

Air is best described as this type of matter.

Mixture

300

Name one property of metals.

Conduct electricity; malleable; shiny; strong

300

This type of chemical reaction requires oxygen

Oxidative/Combustion

400

What happens to particles when a solid melts?

They gain energy and move more freely

400

Dissolving sugar in water is classified as what type of change?

Physical change

400

What is the key difference between a compound and a mixture?

Compounds are chemically bonded; mixtures are not

400

The name for rows in the periodic table

Periods

400

Bread is toasted. Is this more like a physical or chemical change, and why?

Chemical change because new substances form and the change is difficult to reverse

500

Which change of state occurs when a gas turns into a liquid?

Condensation

500

Name one piece of evidence that a chemical reaction has occurred.

Gas produced; colour change; temperature change; new substance

500

The name of the current atomic model

Chadwick-Bohr Model

500

This type of element has characteristics of metals and non-metals

Metalloid

500

Two substances look identical before mixing, but the temperature suddenly increases when they combine. What type of change is occurring?

Chemical change because energy is released (Exothermic) and a new substance forms
