Chemistry: Unit 2 Flashcards
Chemistry
the branch of science that deals with the identification of the substances of which matter is composed the investigation of their properties and the ways in which they interact, combine, and change; and the use of these processes to form new substances.
Matter
is everything around u like atoms
extensive properties
is mass and volume
intensive properties
density and color
mass
is the measure of the amount of matter in a object
volume
is a three dimensional space occupied by a liquid, solid,or gas
physical property
can be observed or measured without changing the composition of matter
physical change
affecting the form of a chemical substance
chemical property
is any of the materials properties
chemical change
when a substance combines
phase
s a physically distinctive form of matter, such as a solid, liquid, gas or plasma.
solid
firm and stable in shape; not liquid or fluid.
liquid
a substance that flows freely but is of constant volume, having a consistency like that of water or oil.
gas
are more widely spaced than in solids or liquids and suffer only occasional collisions with one another.
freezing
