Chem ch 1&2 Flashcards
Malleability
How easily a material can be hammered into shapes
Ductility
Describes how easily materials can be drawn into thin wires
Conductivity
Ability of a material to transfer heat or electricity between its particles
Physical change
Change in physical properties
Substance remains the same
Start with A end with A
Chemical change
composition of a subject is changed
Ex of potential energy
a rock at the top of a hill has greater potential energy than a rock at the bottom of a hill
Kinetic energy
Particles of matter are in constant motion
Endothermic
Absorbs energy from the surroundings
Exothermic
Releases energy to the surroundings
Control group
Variable that doesn’t change during an experiment
Experimental group
Group that’s being experimented on
Dependent variable
Variable that you measure or observe
Independent variable
The one condition that you change in an experiment
Ex of malleability
Clay can be easily molded into anything. Gold is very malleable can be shaped into jewelry easily
Ex of ductility
Silver is ductile and silver metal is often used for ornaments
