Matter Part 2 (086) Flashcards
Physical Properties
Any characteristic that can be observed using your 5 senses without changing the substance
Chemical Properties
Any characteristic that describes how matter interacts with another substance
Biological Property
The characteristic of having all 9 features of living things
Physical Change
Change to the physical properties of matter ~ Substance is not changed into a new substance
Chemical Change
Change to the chemical properties of matter ~ Substance is changed into a new substance with new properties ~ Cannot be changed back
Law of Conservation of Matter/Mass
Matter cannot be changed nor destroyed ~ The number of atoms / mass of the reactants equals the number of atoms / mass of the products
Phase / State of matter
~ Solid, Liquid, and Gas
~ Changed by changing temperature or pressure
Solid
~ Definite shape and definite volume
~ Particles packed together and vibrate but have fixed positions
~ Lower energy
Liquid
~ No definite shape but has definite volume
~ Particles spread apart
~ Medium energy
Gas
~ No definite shape and no definite volume
~ Particles spread far apart
~ High energy
Melting
~ Matter changing from a solid to a liquid
~ More energy, more partical movement
~ Melting point = temperature substance melts at
Freezing / Solidification
~ Matter changing from liquid to solid
~ Lower energy, lower particle movement
~ Freezing point = temperature substance freezes at
Vaporization / Evaporation
~ Matter changing from liquid to gas
~ More energy, more particle movement
~ Boiling point = temperature substance turns to gas at
Condensation
~ Matter changing from gas to liquid
~ Lower energy, lower particle movement
Sublimation
~ Matter changing from solid to gas
~ more energy, more particle movement
