Introduction and Measurements
Matter
Anything that has mass and occupies a space.
Density
d=mass/volume
d=g/mL
Physical Property
Recognizable difference in the appearance but composition and identity does not change.
Exp. melting point, boiling point, density
Chemical Property
Conversion into one or more different substance e.g. chemical reaction.
Exp. flammability, toxicity
Intensive Property
Independent of the quantity.
Exp. density, color, melting point, boiling point
Extensive Property
Dependent of the quantity.
Exp. mass volume
Element
Cannot be reduced/simplified and still exabit the same properties/characteristics. Unit: ATOM
Compound
two or more elements in a defined ratio held together through chemical bonds; ionic or covalent.
Exp. H2O > 2:1
Chemical Reaction
Conversation of one or more substances into one or more different substances.
Exp. rearrangement, removal, replacement.
Solid
Particle very close with definite shape and volume.
Liquid
Particles somewhat close with definite shape not volume.
Gas
Particles widely separated no definite shape or volume.
Accuracy
Degree of measurement of true value.
Precision
Measure of agreement between replicate measurements. (grouping)
Mass
gram: g
