Matter Flashcards
Compound
Composed of two or more elements chemically bonded (one kind of molecule, one or more kind of atom)
Liquid
A state of matter in which the particles can slide past one another
Chemical Change
A substance(s) being converted into different substance(s). Changes code.
Sublimation
A change from a solid directly to a gas
Matter
Anything that has mass and takes up space
Filtration
A means of separating a solid from a liquid using filter paper
Mixture
A combination of two or more substances that keep their chemical characteristics
Boiling Point
Liquid changing to a gas with added energy
Physical Property
A property that can be described without changing the identity of the substance
Chromatography
A means of separating two liquids using filter paper.
Pure Substance
One type of atom or molecule
Physical Change
A change that a substance undergoes in which it is not chemically changed
Diffusion
Readily mixes with other liquids or gases
Distillation
A means of separating two liquids based on their different boiling points.
Solid
A state of matter that has a definite shape and volume
Chemical Property
A property of a substance that changes it into something new
Element
A pure substance composed of one type of atom
Kinetic Molecular Theory
All matter is in constant motion
Desposition
Passing from the gaseous state directly to the solid state
Evaporation
Liquid to gas without added energy
Gas
A state of matter in which there is a great deal of space between the particles
Law of Conservation of Mass
Mass cannot be created or destroyed
Centrifugation
A means of separating solids and liquids by using a centrifuge (spinning)
Vaporization
Means of separating solids and liquids using heat
