Module 1 Flashcards
Define Matter
Has mass, occupy space & physical
What are the two ways matter is described?
- Physical
- Composition
Examples of physical state
Liquid, gas, solid
Examples of composition
Elements, mixture, compound
Define law of constant composition
Compounds are made of element in definite proportions
Define pure substances
Having fixed compositions
Define heterogenous mixture
Mixtures that don’t have the same composition through out(choc- chip cookie)
Define homogeneous mixture
Mixtures that are uniform throughout (salt water)
Define intensive properties (give examples
Do not depend on amount of sample(boiling point, color, temp.,luster, hardness )
Define extensive properties , give examples
Does depend on quantity of the sample (volume, mass , size, weight, length)
Define kinetic energy
Energy in motion
Define potential energy
Energy associated with/position or composition
Define thermal energy
Energy associated with/temperature of an object
Define law of conservation of energy
Energy is neither created nor destroyed
Define heterogeneous
Mixtures that don’t have the same composition throughout the appearances
