Q

What is a chemical property?

A

Properties that can be only observed or measured by changing the chemical identity of the substance.

17
Q

What is a physical property?

A

A property that can be observed directly or measured WITHOUT changing the chemical identity.

18
Q

What is the difference between atoms and molecules?

A

Atoms are singular, the smallest state of matter, and combine to make molecules
Molecules are multiple compounds

19
Q

What is the difference between mass and weight?

A

Mass- how much of a substance, stays the same
Weight-how much gravitational pull there is

20
Q

What is the formula to solve for mass?

A

Mass=Density*Volume

21
Q

What is the formula to solve for volume?

A

Volume=mass/density

22
Q

What is the formula to solve for density?

A

Density=mass/volume

23
Q

How is it possible that at 101 degrees Celsius, water is a gas, mercury is a liquid, and titanium is a solid?

A

101 degrees is only enough for water to be a gas but not anything more or else same with liquid and a solid.

24
Q

Compare the 3 common states of matter according to their particle spacing and degree of particle motion.

A

Solid= is molecules that are very close together and cannot move.
liquid= is molecules close together and move around slowly
gas= molecules that are widely separate, move around freely and at high speed
