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
The process through which a substance changes from a liquid to a solid.
melting
is a physical process that results in the phase transition of a substance from a solid to a liquid
vaporization
of an element or compound is a phase transition from the liquid phase to vapor.
Condensation
is the process of a substance in a gaseous state transforming into a liquid state
sublimation
is the phase transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas phase without passing through the intermediate liquid phase.
Deposition
s a process where a gas changes phase and turns directly in solid without passing through the liquid phase
Substance
is matter which has a specific composition and specific properties.
Element
each of more than one hundred substances that cannot be chemically interconverted or broken down into simpler substances and are primary constituents of matter
Chemical Symbol
a code for chemical
Compound
s a substance formed when two or more chemical elements are chemically bonded together.
Mixture
a substance made by mixing other substances together.
homogeneous mixture
has the same uniform appearance and composition throughout
solution
a liquid mixture in which the minor component
Heterogeneous Mixture
that composes of components that aren’t uniform or they have localized regions that all have different properties
Filtration
is any of various mechanical, physical or biological operations that separate solids from fluids by adding a medium through which only the fluid can pass.
Distillation
the action of purifying a liquid by a process of heating and cooling.
Chemical Reaction
are called reactants or reagents.
Reactant
a substance that takes part in and undergoes change during a reaction.
Product
are formed from chemical reactions
Precipitate
typically one that is bad or undesirable to happen suddenly, unexpectedly, or prematurely.
Law of Conservation of Mass
states that mass in an isolated system is neither created nor destroyed by chemical reactions or physical transformations.
