Ancient greek philosophers
Building blocks of matter. Constantly moving and have a unique arrangement in each state of matter. Greek word atomos meaning indivisible
Atoms
He suggested that all space is filled up with matter
Aristotle
Refers to the amount of matter in an object
Mass
Measure of force that acte on an object
Weight
Amount of space occupied by matter
Volume
Physical property that expresses the ratio between mass and volume
Density
Ratio of a substances density to a standard substance
Specific gravity
Qualities that are measurable without changing the matters composition
Physicsl porperties
Solids have tendency to turn into liquids when subjected to heat
Melting point
Liquids have a tendency to solidify when cooled
Freezing point
When a liquid is heated, its osrticles absorb the heat energy
Boiling point
When material are combined together, some of their components mix well while others do not.
Solubility
Ability of a metrial to allow heat or electric charges to pass through easily
COnductivity
Metal can be flattened into thin sheet due to its
Malleability
Metal can be flattened into thin sheet due to its
Malleatibility
Metal can be easily drawn into wired due to its

Chemical properties
Ability of a material to combust or burn
Combustibility
Ability of a combustile material to catch flame easily
Flammability
Tendency of a substance to undergo a chemical reaction is known as
Reactivity
Simplest form of matter made up of one type of atom
Element
Made up of different kinds of atoms that are clmbined through chemical reaction
Compound
Known as solution, consists of particles that are evenly spread out or distributed
Homogenous mixture
Consists of particles that are not evenly distributed throughout
Heterogenous mixture
Useful tool that can help in identifying elements that exhibit similar properties
