chem chapter 2 test Flashcards
a property that depends on the type of matter in a sample, not the amount of matter
intensive property
a material’s ability to be stretched into a wire
ductility
a property that depends on the amount of matter in a sample
extensive property
the degree to which a specified material conducts electricity, calculated as the ratio of the current density in the material to the electric field that causes the flow of current. It is the reciprocal of the resistivity.
conductivity
physical property of matter, usually metals. It usually applies to the family groups 1 to 12 on the modern periodic table of elements. It is the ability of a solid to bend or be hammered into other shapes without breaking.
malleability
they have fixed compositions, one set of intrinsic properties (density, melting point, boiling point) and can be separated only by chemical means
pure substances
the ability of a substance to undergo a specific chemical change
chemical property
a quality or condition of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing the substance’s composition
physical property
these have variable composition. their physical properties vary depending on the composition. They can be separated by physical means
mixtures
exists in one phase only and has uniform properties throughout the sample
homogeneous
may exist in more than one phase and have variable properties in different parts of the sample
heterogeneous
these cannot be broken down into simpler substances by physical or chemical means. The smallest particle of this is called an atom
element
these are made of elements in fixed mass ratios. They can be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means
compound
the release of heat
exothermic
the absorption of heat
endothermic
does the composition of a pure substance vary?
no
what is elasticity
the ability to stretch and return to its original size
are the following physical or chemical?
frying an egg
mixing salt and water
fireworks exploding
