Matter Flashcards
Element
A substance made of atoms with same atomic number
Matter
Anything that has both mass and volume
Compound
Made of 2+ atoms chemically bonded
Mixture
Variable composition made of 2+ substances
Homogeneous mixture
Uniformly mixed particles. (solutions) - it will never come out
Heterogeneous mixture
Non-uniformly distributed particles (trail mix)
Distillation process
Involves turning liquid to gas
Physical property
Can be measured or observed without changing the characteristics of the substance
Extensive property
Depend on the amount of matter that is present
Intensive property
Does not depend on the amount of matter that is present, color, feel, smell, Density, boiling point, melting point
Chemical property
Relates to a substance ability to undergo change that transforms it into another substance.
Solid (melting with liquid)
Wiggle in place, definite shape and volume
Liquid (boiling with gas)
Sliding over each other, definite volume
Gas
Bouncing molecules, no definite volume or shape
Solvent solution
The one with the greater extent (water) why? Because there’s more water than salt
