Matter Flashcards
Physical Properties
Characteristics that can be observed without changing the identity of the substance
Physical Change
Change in matter between forms without changing the chemical identity
Melting Point
Temp and pressure where solids become liquids
Boiling Point
Temp that liquids become gas
Chemical Properties
Combining with other atoms and breaking apart into new substances
Chemical Change
Substance identity changes
Changes physical/ chemical properties
Mixtures
Can be separated using physical means
Compounds
Broken down using chemical processes
Evaporation
Liquid to gas
Sublimation
Solid to gas
Condensation
gas to liquid
Conservation of Mass/ Energy
According to physics, we cannot have more of what we already have
Plasma
Ionized gas
Fluid
Atoms have enough space to move past each other freely
Pressure
Force exerted on an area
