matter
A ____ freezes as it changes into a solid
liquid
When a liquid changes into gas it _________
vaporizes
______ refers to the ability of a solvent to dissolve a certain amount of solute
solubility
This happens when a gas changes into a liquid
vaporization
This is a change in matter that does not form a new substance
physical change
When a solid changes into a liquid it does this
melts
This happens when two or more elements or compounds combine to form a new substance
chemical change
All matter is made up small particles called
atoms
This is formed when atoms of different elements combine
compound
This has a definite volume and a definite shape
solid
This has a definite volume but not a definite shape
liquid
This has no definite volume or shape
gas
This is a mixture in which all the substances are spread evenly throughout
solution

Define volume
the amount of space a substance takes up
Define mass
the amount of material in a substance
Define weight
the amount of force gravity places on matter
Define density
the amount of matter (mass) in a certain space (volume)
We use a ________ to measure the volume of a liquid
graduated container
The volume of irregularly shaped objects, such as rocks, can be measured using
water displacement
An instrument called a ________ is usually used to measure mass
balance
Explain how you would use water displacement to measure the volume of a rock
- Record the level of water in a graduated container.2. Place the rock in the container and record the new level of water.3. Record the difference between the beginning water level and the water level after the rock was added.
What is the difference between mass and weight?
Mass measures the amount of matter or material in a substance. Weight measures the amount of force gravity places on matter.
