Matter Flashcards
Crystal Solids
geometric arrangement
Amorphous Solids
no regular arrangement
Viscosity
A fluids resistance to flow
Physical Property
a characteristic that you can observe w/o changing the identity of the substance
Physical Change
doesn’t change the substance. It’s the same substance before and after the change
Chemical Property
a characteristic that indicates if it can undergo a chemical change. Ex. flammability, reactivity
Chemical Change
process that involves changing from one substance to another, also called a CHEMICAL REACTION
You can tell a chemical change happened by…
~color change~Bubbling~Formation of solid~temp, change~smell
Pure Substances
Cannot be physically separated, Elements, Compounds
Element
Cannot be chemically changed
Compound
can only be chemically changed
Mixtures
Can be physically separated, homo/heterogeneous
Heterogeneous
not evenly distributed, suspension
suspension
heavier particles SETTLE at bottom
Homogeneous
evenly distributed, solution
