Q

Chemical Change

A

a usually irreversible chemical reaction involving the rearrangement of the atoms of one or more substances and a change in their chemical properties or composition, resulting in the formation of at least one new substance

Q

Melting

A

is the process by which a substance changes from the solid phase to the liquid phase

17
Q

Vaporization

A

the conversion of a solid or a liquid into a gas

18
Q

Condensation

A

is the process by which water vapor in the air is changed into liquid water

19
Q

Sublimation

A

when anything solid turns into a gas without first becoming liquid

20
Q

Deposition

A

The process by which water, ice, wind, or gravity moves fragments of rock and soil

21
Q

Substance ( Pure Substance )

A

is matter which has a specific composition and specific properties

22
Q

Element

A

is composed of atoms that have the same atomic number, that is, each atom has the same number of protons in its nucleus as all other atoms of that element

23
Q

Chemical Symbol

A

the symbols in the periodic table

24
Q

Compound

A

is a substance formed when two or more chemical elements are chemically bonded together

25
Q

Mixture

A

is a material made up of two or more different substances which are mixed but are not combined chemically

26
Q

Homogenous Mixture

A

is simply any mixture that is uniform in composition throughout

27
Q

Solution

A

A mixture in which particles of one or more substances (the solute) are distributed uniformly throughout another substance (the solvent), so that the mixture is homogeneous at the molecular or ionic level

28
Q

Heterogenous Mixture

A

A mixture is a combination of two or more pure substances in which the original substances retain their chemical properties

29
Q

Filtration

A

The act or process of filtering, especially the process of passing a liquid or gas, such as air, through a filter in order to remove solid particle

30
Q

Distillation

A

The evaporation and subsequent collection of a liquid by condensation as a means of purification

31
Q

Chemical Reaction

A

A process in which atoms of the same or different elements rearrange themselves to form a new substance

32
Q

Reactant

A

a substance that enters into and is altered in the course of a chemical reaction

33
Q

Product

A

he number or expression resulting from the multiplication together of two or more numbers or expressions

34
Q

Precipitate

A

is an insoluble solid that emerges from a liquid solution

35
Q

Law of Conservation of Mass

A

states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction
