Matter Flashcards
What is matter
Anything that takes up space and has mass
Properties of matter
Strength thermal conductivity brittle ductile dense melting
A mixture
substance that keeps its properties when in a mixture
Able to separate
Homogeneous
uniform properties
heterogeneous
Not uniform different compounds can be seen [water and oil]
pure substance
can be pure chemical element
pure chemical compound
examples of pure substances
hydrogen gas diamond gold copper wire ammonia
Hypothesis
starts with i think
impure substance

chemical formula
tell us the chemical composition of a compound it gives it a standardized name
metals
good conductor of heat
ductile and malleable
high melting and boiling point
Non metals
poor conductor
brittle
low melting and boiling point
Metabloids
unique conductivity of heat increase as temp increases
