matter (unit 1) Flashcards
what is matter
it has mass
weight is the force of gravity (newtons)
mass is the amount of stuff (kg)
what is volume
amount of free space object occupies
displacement
l x w x h
density
mass/volume (g/ml) (m/m^3)
types of matter
substance + mixtures
substance
compound (h20)- bonded chemically
element (02 -diatomic)- held together by intramolecular forces
separated nuclear/chemically
mixture
multiple substances
homogenous- blends smoothly throughout
heterogenous- has phases (layers)
separated physically
physical properties
can be measured or seen without changing substance
color, density, viscosity, boiling/freezing point
chemical properties
ability of a substance to undergo a specific chemical change
chemical properties can only be observed as the substance is in the process of being changed into a different substance
flammability, toxicity, acidity, reactivity (many types), and heat of combustion
physical change
a change to a sample of matter in which some properties of the material change, but the identity of the matter does not
reversible/irreversible
changes of states
chemical change
breaking apart/combining compounds into diff substances
burning, digestion, cellular repiration
chemical reaction
process that occurs when one or more substances are changed into one or more new substances.
color change, odor, production of gas
