Vocab: element
Cannot be broken into different substances
Vocab: atom
Smallest unit of an element broken down into different substances
Vocab: compound
A substance made up of 2 or more different elements that chemically combine
Vocab: molecule
Smallest unit of a substance that keeps all physical and chemical properties of a substance
Vocab: mixture
A mix of many pure substances
Vocab: Heterogeneous
Substances are mixed uniformly
Vocab: Homogeneous
Same through out
Vocab: energy
The capacity to do work
Vocab: temperature
A measure of average kinetic energy
Vocab: Thermal energy
The kinetic energy (KE) of a substances atom
Vocab: Conservation of mass
Mass cannot be created or destroyed
Vocab: conservation of energy
Energy cannot be created or destroyed
Vocab: Melting
Change of a substance from a solid to a liquid
Vocab: Freezing
A change of a substance from a livid to a solid
Vocab: evaporation
Change of a substance from a liquid to a gas
Vocab: Sublimation
Solid turns directly to a gas
Vocab: Condensation
Change of a substance from a gas to liquid
4 indications of a chemical change
- ) heat and light
- ) new gas
- ) color change
- ) new solid
List 3 main points of the kinetic theory of matter
- ) all matter is made of atoms and molecules that act like tiny particles
- ) these tiny particles are always in motion
- ) at the same temperature, more massive (heavier) particles move slower than less massive (lighter) particles
List the 4 states of matter
Solid, liquid, gas, plasma
State whether energy is released or energy is required for the following changes to take place: melting, sublimation, evaporation, condensation
Melting: released
Sublimation: released
Evaporation: released
Condensation: required
Describe the shape and volume for each of the following: solid, liquid, gas
Solid: definite, definite
Liquid: not definite, definite
Gas: not definite, not definite
Full in the blank: ____________is a measure of average kinetic energy
Temperature
State the law of conservation of mass
Mass cannot be created or destroyed
