Energy
What are some physical properties of matter?
boiling/condensation point
melting/freezing point
malleability
ductility
colour
state
solubility
crystal formation
conductivity
magnetism
what are some chemical properties of matter?
ability to burn
flash point
reaction with water
reaction with oxygen
reaction with acids
reaction to heat
reaction to litmus
what is a physical property?
things we observe with our senses
what is a chemical property?
how it reacts with other substances
what is a physical change?
changing a substance without changing its chemical composition
what is a chemical change?
creating a new substance with new properties/ changing its chemical composition
what is a pure substance?
contain only one type of particle and cannot be further broken down
what is a mixture?
contains two or more pure substances
define heterogenous
you can see the different components
define homogenous
all particles look the same throughout.
define element
made up of only one type of atom
define compounds
Made up of 2+ elements chemically combined in specific ratios
define solutions
Aka homogeneous. A mixture that appears to be made of only one substance
define mechanical mixtures
Can easily sort out the different components mechanically
define suspensions
Solid component suspended in liquid component; particles large enough to settle to the bottom
define colloids
Similar to suspension but suspended particles are much smaller and won’t settle. Often gel-like.
what is an atom?
the building blocks of matter. They cannot be broken down into simpler substances.
