Mattter with definite Weight, Volume & Shape
Term
Liquids
Definition
Matter with definite Weight and Volume but no Shape
Term
Gases
Definition
Matter with definite Weightbut indefinite Volume and Shape
Term
Physical Change
Definition
a change in the physical form of a substance without creating a new substance possessing a distinct material composition (water to ice)
Term
Chemical Change
Definition
a change in a substance that creates a new substance with different material characteristics from those of the original substance
Term
Sublimination
Definition
The process of a solid or gas changing states without becoming a liquid
Term
Energy
Definition
The ability to do work to accomplish some change
Term
Elements
Definition
Basic units of matter that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by any chemical reaction
Term
Periodic law
Definition
The unifying concept used to organize elements and their similarities
Term
Atomic Numbers
Definition
The number shown in the Periodic Table with each element and indicates how many protons are in a simple atom of the element
Term
Atoms
Definition
The smallest complete unit of an element
Term
Proton
Definition
Have a positive electrical charge and identify the atom
Term
Neutrons
Definition
Have no electrical charge
Term
Electrons
Definition
Have a negaive electrical charge
Term
Nucleus
Definition
Dense core at the center of an atom formed by tightly packed together protons and neutrons (control center)
Term
Free  Electrons
Definition
Electron in the outermost orbit that is easily moved from its orbit.  if another atom has a shortage of electrons, the free electron will attempt to move tot he other atom
Term
Molecule
Definition
smallest particle of a compound
Term
Compounds
Definition

When the atoms that combing are different, they create compounds created by chemically uniting two different elements

Ex: water (H2O) and hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2)

Term
Oxidation
Definition
 A substance loses an electron and oxygen is acquired
Term
Reduction
Definition

 A substance gains an electron and oxygen is released 

(release of oxygen to the skin)

Term
Ionic Bond
Definition
When positive and negaive ions join, they are held together by an ionic bond
Term
Covalent Bond
Definition
If no trading is taking place and the atoms are sharing the electrons, they are held together by covalent bonds.
Term
Chemical Bond
Definition
Forces that hold atoms together in compounds
Term
Biochemistry
Definition
