|
for liquids you determine the volume by reading the bottom of the?
|
meniscus
|
|
for solids it is filled with a specific volume of water, the solid is added to this volume, and the difference in the volume is recorded. what is this process called?
|
water displacement
|
|
matter
|
anything that has a mass and takes up space
|
|
mass
|
the amount of matter in an object
|
|
volume
|
how much space an object takes up
|
|
calculation for density?
|
m/v=d
|
|
weight
|
the gravitational force of an object
|
|
atom
|
a basic particle from which a molecule is made
|
|
endothermic
|
energy is absorbed
|

|
energy is released
|
|
element
|
a substance that can't be broken down into any substance by physical and chemical means
|
|
compound
|
has 2 or more elements
|

mixture
|
two substances mixed together but not chemically combined
|
|
law of conservation of mass
|
nothing is added or lost, just rearranged

|
|
how do you find the density of a regular shaped object
|
measuring with a metric ruler
|
|
what are 2 differences with mass and weight?
|
mass does not change, but weight depends on where you are. weight is measure of gravitational force and mass in the amount of matter in an object.

close but can still slowly move around while bumping into each other
|
|
describe particle arrangement and motion in a gas
|
spread out, moving rapidly
|

|
a definite shape and volume
|
|
describe the shape and volume of a liquid
|
an indefinite shape and a definite volume
|
|
describe the shape and volume of a gas
|
indefinite shape and volume
|

what are 2 types of solids?
|
crystalline and amorphous
|
|
how do the 2 types of solids differ?
|
crystalline has no specific pattern of particles and no specific melting point and amorphous has a specific pattern of particles and a specific melting point

boyles law and a example
|
when pressure goes up, volume goes down or when pressure goes down, volume goes up. like bubbles under water while scuba diving get bigger as they rise to the top
|
