Matter Flashcards
systematic process used to investigate phenomena and answer questions
scientific method
what is matter
anything that occupies space, has mass, and exhibits inertia
consists of ions and electrons and typically forms at high temperatures.
plasma
example of intermediate states of matter that occur only in extreme conditions
Bose-einstein condensates
Fermionic condensates
fundamentals building blocks of matter, and are considered the simplest substances
element
substance composed of two or more different elements that are chemically bonded together in a fixed and definite proportion
compound
cannot be broken down y any chemical means
element
consists of two or more elements or compounds that are physically combined, rather than chemically bonded
mixture
mixtures can be separated through
physical methods such as
filtration, distillation, or magnetism
physical property
characteristic that can be observed or measured without changing the composition of a substance
examples of physical property
odor
color
taste
mass
volume
density
magnetism
condutivity
temperatures
what is chemical property
characteristic of a substance by its composition and what chemical changes it can undergo
example of chemical property
flammability
reactivity with other substances

two types of physical properties
extensive property
intensive property
what is extensive property
describe characteristics that depend on the amount of substance present
example of extensive property
mass
volume
total energy
surface area
what is an intensive property
independent of the amount of substance and are intrinsic to the material’s chemical composition and molecular structure
example of intensive
temperature
pressure
flammability
density
boiling point
