Q

It is a concise verbal or mathematical statement of a relationship between phenomena that is always the
same under the same conditions.

22
Q

It is a unifying principle that explains a body of facts and/or those laws that are based on them.

23
Q

It is a form of matter that has a definite (constant) composition and distinct properties.

24
Q

It is a combination of two or more substances in which the substances retain their distinct identities.

25
the composition of the mixture is the same throughout.
Homogeneous mixture
26
the composition is not uniform.
Heterogeneous mixture
27
It can be measured and observed without changing the composition or identity of a substance.
Physical property
28
in order to observe this property we must carry out a chemical change
Chemical property
29

Extensive property
30
does not depend on how much matter is being considered
Intensive property
31
It tells us how close a measurement is to the true value of the quantity that was measured.
Accuracy
32
It refers to how closely two or more measurements of the same quantity agree with one another
