Matter |
Anything that occupies space and has mass. |
|
|
Pure substance |
Form of matter with a constant composition and uniform properties. |
|
|
Element |
Made of one type of atom. |
|
|
Compounds |
Contains two or more different elements. |
|
|
Molecule |
A basic unit of two or more atoms held together by covalent bonds. |
|
|
Mixture |
Composed of different kinds of atoms or molecules. |
|
|
Homogeneous Mixture |
Has the same composition and properities throughout. |
|
|
Heterogeneous Mixture |
Also called solutions. |
|
|
Heterogeneous Mixtures |
Does not have the same composition and properties throughout. |
|
|
Phase |
Any part of a system that does not have uniform composition and properties. |
|
|
Heterogeneous Mixture |
Consists of two or more phases. |
|
|
Solid |
Has a definite volume and definite shape. |
|
|
Solid |
Particles are held together so tightly that their motion is highly restricted. |
|
|
Liquid |
Has a definite volume but not a definite or rigid shape. |
|
|
Liquids |
Particles are relatively free to move, therefore liquids assume the shape of their container. |
|
|
Gas |
Has no fixed shape or volume. |
|
|
Gas |
Particles have very weak attraction for one another, allowing essentially complete freedom of motion. |
|
|
Gas |
Will assume the shape of any closed vessel and uniformly fill its entire contents. |
|
|
Boiling (vaporization) |
Liquid to gas. |
|
|
Melting |
Solid to a liquid. |
|
|
Sublimibg |
Solid to gas. |
|
|

|
|
Physical changes |
Changes that alter the state or appearance of the matter without altering the composition. |
|
|
Chemicals changes |
Changes that alter the composition of the matter |
|
|
Signs chemical change has occured |
1.) Bubbles of gas form 2.) Odors and/or colors change 3.) A chemical burns or burst into flames 4.) An insoluble precipitate forms 5.) A large amount of heat, light, or both is given off. |
|
|
Temperature |
Measure of the intensity of 'hot" or "cold" in a sample of matter. |
|
|
Heat |
A measure of energy which always flows from the hotter sample to the colder sample. |
|
|
Kelvin |
°C + 273 |
°C = K-273 |
|
Kinetic energy |
The energy of a sample matter possesses because of its motion. |
|
|
Potential energy |
The energy stored in an object because of its position. |
|
|
Endorthermic Reaction |
Change that causes a substance to absorb the heat from its surroundings. |
|
|
Exothermic Reaction |
Change in which heat is given off to the surroundings. |
|
|
Specific heat |
The quantity of heat (energy) that changes the temperature of exactly 1g of a substance by exactly 1°C. |
|
|
Calorie (c) |
The amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of exactly 1 g of water by exactly 1°C. |
