Term
States of Matter
Definition
Solid- hard, particles do not move
Liquid- hard to compres, free to move (takes shape fo container), cannot chage volume
Gas- Fast moving, can change volume, empty space
Term
Pure substance
Definition
Element- made up of atoms of the same type

Compound- Atoms of two or more different elements
Term
Mixtures
Definition
Homogeneous- composition is the same form one region to another. Salt in water

Heterogeneous- composition varies from one region to another. Sand in water
Term
Dalton’s Atomic Theory
Definition
• All matter is made up of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms
• Atoms cannot be created, destroyed, or transferred into other atoms in a chemical reaction
• Al atoms of a given element are identical
• Atoms combine in simple, whole-numbered ratios to form compounds
Term
Law of definite proportions
Definition
A compound is always made up of the same relative masses of the elements that compose it
o Ex: CO2
Term
Law of multiple proportions
Definition
Any time 2 or more elements combine in different rations, different compounds are formed
Term
Physical Properties
Definition
Can be measured w/o altering the chemical identity
o Ex. Can measure, see its color
• Boiling/melting point, density, hardness, texture, odor, electrical properties etc
Term
Chemical Change
Definition
When matter undergoes a chemical rxn & forms a new substance; characterize this via chemical equation
• Properties
o Describe the potential chemical rxns a substance can undergo
• Ex. Flammability, rusting, explosiveness
