Chapter 0c Flashcards
- material that makes up all things
- anything that has mass and occupies space
matter
2 classification of matter
- pure substances
- mixtures
have fixed or definite composition
pure substances
contain two or more different substances that are physically mixed but not chemically combined
mixtures
Classification of pure substance
- element
- compound
composed of one type of atom
element
composed of two or more elements always combined in the same proportion
compound
Classifications of mixtures
- homogeneous mixture
- heterogeneous mixture
- composition is uniform throughout
- different parts of the mixture are not visible
homogenous mixture
- composition varies from one part of the mixture to another
- different parts of the mixture are visible
heterogenous mixture
- have definite shape
- have definite volume
- particles are closed together in a fixed arrangement
- particles move very slowly
solids
- have indefinite shape but definite volume
- same shape as container
- particles are close together but mobile
- particles move slowly
liquids
- indefinite shape
- indefinite volume
- same shape and volume as container
- particles are far apart
- particles move very fast
gases
characteristics observed or measured without changing the identity of substance
physical properties
physical properties include what
- shape
- physical state
- boiling and freezing points
- density
- color
- change in state
- change in physical shape
- no change in identity and composition of substance
physical change
describe the ability of a substance to
- interact with other substances
- change into a new substance
chemical properties
- change in composition
- new chemical properties
- new physical properties
chemical change
- measure of how hot or cold an object is compared to another object
- indicates the heat flow from the object with a higher temperature to the object with a lower temperature
temperature
temperature scales
- Fahrenheit (°F)
- Celsius (°C)
temperature difference between boiling and freezing water are divided into smaller units called __
degrees
degrees between the boiling and freezing point of water in Celsius scale
100°C
degrees between the boiling and freezing point of water in Fahrenheit
180°F
coldest possible temperature
-273°C
