Term
Matter
Definition

is everything that has mass or volume

Term
Homogenous mixture
Definition
a substance that is the same throughout
Term
Physical Change
Definition

a change that does not change the composition of the substance.

EX. cutting, bending, melting, boiling, freezing, dissolving, etc.

Term
Solid
Definition
 and volume and has a definite shape. There is no room for particles to move past each other
Term
Chemical Property
Definition

a characteristic of a substance that can only be observed by changing the substance's composition.

EX. whether or not something will rust, decompose, ferment, react with oxygen, etc.

Term
Chemistry
Definition
the study ofchemicals and the changes they undergo
Term
Law of Conservation of Mass
Definition
the amount of Mass of the products = the Mass of products of the reactants
Term
Heterogeneous Mixture
Definition

a mixture with visibly different parts.

EX. concrete, leaf, car, pillow

Term
Element
Definition
the simpilest kind of a pure substances. The cant be seperated by chemical means, building blocks for every other substance.
Term
Substance
Definition
Has only one kind of matter
Term
Solution
Definition

a homogenous mixture, that is the same throughout.

EX. Apple juice, plain white paper. air, sugar water

Term
Gas
Definition
Takes the shape and volume of its container, lots of space between the particles
Term
Compound
Definition

chemically bonded combinations of 2 or more elements.

EX. Sodium Chloride, Water, Carbon Dioxide

Term
Mass
Definition
the amount of matter that an object contains.
Term

Distillation

Definition
When a liquid is boiled and then condensed back to a liquid. Can seperate a salt- water solution.
Term
Physical Property
Definition

a characteristic that can be observed without changing the substance's compostion

EX. color, mass, odor, density, magnetism, melting point,boiling point, solubility.

Term
Products
Definition
end result of a chemical reaction
Term
Liquid
Definition
has definite volume, takes shape of container barely enough space between particles
Term
Chemical Change
Definition

a change that DOES change the compostion of the substance

EX. burning, change in temp, color, gives off light, or gas

Term
Filtration
Definition
when a liquid mixture passes through filter paper, anything solid will not pass through the filter paper. The liquid with anything dissolved in it will pass through.
Term
Law of Conservation of Energy
Definition
amount of energy in the universe is always the same; energy isnt created nor destroyed
Term
Energy
Definition
the capacity to do work or to produce heat
Term
Temperature
Definition
measurement of the average kinetic energy of the particles of a substance
Term
Reactants
Definition
The begining substances
Term
Subscript
Definition
indicates the number of each kind of element in the compound.
Term
Chromatography
Definition

when a solution is seperated by allowing it to flow along a stationary substance
