Question | Answer |
Matter | Anything that has volume or mass (takes up space) |
Mass | The quantity of matter in which an object or a person takes up |
Volume | The amount of space a substance occupies |
Physical Properties | Characteristics of matter that can be observed or measured |
State | Solid, liquid, gas, plasma, Bose-Einstein condensate |
Malleability | The ability to be beaten into sheets |
Ductility | The ability to be drawn into wires |
Conductivity | The ability to conduct electricity or heat |
Density | The ratio of a material's mass to its volume |
Element | A pure substance that contains one type of atom |
Atom | The smallest constituent unit of ordinary matter that has the properties of a chemical element |
Compound | A pure substance that contains two or more types of atoms |
Solution | A uniform mixture in which the two or more substances are indistinguishable from one another and will not separate |
Suspension | A mixture in which one substance forms pieces or droplets that will separate if allowed to stand |
Mechanical Mixture | A mixture in which the two or more substances can be seen as distinct with the naked eye |
Physical Change | A change in matter in which no new substance is produced i.e. ripping paper |
Chemical Change | A change in matter in which one or more new substances are produced. Releases or absorbs energy. The mass of the reactants is equal to that of the products. |
Solid | A state of matter that has definite shape and volume, mere vibration of particles, and little space between them |
Liquid | A state of matter that has definite volume and takes the shape of the container, particles can slide past each other, and some space between them |
Gas | A state of matter with its shape and volume determined by its surroundings, particles are free to move around, and lots of space between them |
Condensation | A change of state in which gas becomes liquid |
Evaporation | A change of state in which liquid becomes gas |
Melting/Liquification | A change of state in which solid becomes liquid |
Freezing/Solidification | A change of state in which liquid becomes solid |
Sublimation | A change of state in which solid becomes gas |
Deposition | A change of state in which gas becomes solid |
Kinetic Energy | The energy that an object possesses due to its motion |
Subatomic Particle | Particles that are much smaller than atoms i.e. protons, neutrons, electrons |
Electron | A subatomic particle with a negative charge, surrounds the nucleus in a shell |
Proton | A subatomic particle with a positive charge, found in the nucleus |
Neutron | A subatomic particle with a neutral charge, found in the nucleus |
Nucleus | The compact centre of an atom, made of protons and neutrons |
Endothermic | Heat is consumed in the reaction (gets colder) |
Exothermic | Heat is produced in the reaction (gets hotter) |
Qualitative | A measurement that can be observed but not measured |
Quantitative | A measurement that can be measured numerically |
