Term
Matter
Definition
Objects that take up space and have mass
Term
Mass
Definition
is a measure of the amount of matter in an object or material
Term
Volume
Definition
The amount of space matter takes up
Term
Solid
Definition
State of matterĀ that has a definite shape and volume
Term
Liquid
Definition
State of matter that has a definite volume but no definite shape
Term
Gas
Definition
State of matter that has no definite shape and no definite volume
Term
Mixture
Definition
Physical combination of two or more substances
Term
Compound
Definition
Chemical combination of two or more substances
Term
Conservation of mass
Definition
Whether there is a chemical change or a physical change the amount of mass always stays the same
Term
Which states of matter have a definite volume
Definition
Both Liquid and Solid
Term
What happens when energy is taken away from a liquid? what happens when energy is added to a solid?
Definition
When energy is taken away from a liquid it becomes a solid because the molecules are moving slower. When energy is added to a solid the molecules move faster therefore turning it in to a liquid
Term
What is the difference between a chemical and physical change?
Definition
A chemical change mean the substance becomes a new substance and cant be changed back to the original substance (cookie batter to a baked cookie) A physical change is a change where the original substance can move back and fourth between the new form and old for (ice to water and water to ice)
Term
What are some physical properties of matter that identify different substances?
Definition
Include but not limited to State, Size, Color, Smell, Volume, Mass, Density
Term
Explain way burning a substance would be considered a CHEMICAL CHANGE
Definition
It is considered a CHEMICAL CHANGE because it brings about a new substance. Chemical bonds aer broken and new bonds are formed. For example WHEN WOOD BURNS THE ATOMS OF THE CARBON AND HYDROGEN IN THE WOOD JOIN WITH THE MOLECULES IN THE AIR AND A CHEMICAL FORMS CALLED CARBON DIOXIDE.
Term
EXPLAIN HOW HETEROGENEOUS MIXTURES AND HOMOGENNOUS MIXTURES ARE ALIKE.EXPLAIN HOW THEY ARE DIFFERENT
Definition
BOTH MIXTURES ENTAIL THE COMBINATION OF TWO OR MORE SUBSTANCES. They KEEP THEIR ORIGINAL PROPERTY IF THEY ARE MIXED. They ARE DIFFERENT BECASUE HETEROGENIOUS MIXTURES HAS SUBSTANCES THAT ARE NOT EVENLY SPREAD AND HOMOGENEOUS HAS SUBSTANCES THAT ARE EVENLY SPREAD AND DISTRIBUTED
Term
DO MOLECULES IN WATER VAPOR HAVE MORE OR LESS ENERGY THAN MOLECULES IN LIQUID WATER? EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER.
Definition
Molecules IN WATER VAPOR HAVE MORE ENERGY BECASUE IT IS A GAS MEANING THAT THE MOLICULES ARE MOVING FASTER WHICH CREATES MORE ENERGY THEN IS FOUND IN LIQUID WATER
Term
Explain why the melting point and freezing point of a substance is the same
Definition
The melting point and freezing point of a substance is the same because the melting point is when a solid matter of a substance turns in to a liquid at a certain temperature, the freezing point is when the liquid matter of the same substance turns in to a solid at the same temperature.
