MODULE 2-3 (Matter and Changes in Matter) Flashcards
anything that has mass, volume, and occupies space
Matter
the types and amounts of simpler substances that make up a sample of matter
Composition
characteristics that give each substance a unique identity
Properties
no change in composition
Physical Property
without changing or interacting with another substance
Physical Property
melting point, electrical conductivity, density
Physical Property
characteristics as it changes into or interacts with another substance
Chemical Property
change in composition
Chemical Property
flammability, corrosiveness, reactivity with acids
Chemical Property
do NOT depend on the amount of the substance present
Intensive Property
depend on the amount of matter being measured
Extensive Property
mass, volume, length, shape
Extensive Property
color, melting point, boiling point, density
Intensive Property
a substance alters its physical properties, not its composition
Physical Change
substance is converted into a different substance
Chemical Change
change in bonding, nuclei are conserved
Chemical Change
mass over volume
Density
states of matter
solid
liquid
gas
plasma
change in nucleus, change in composition
nuclear change
joining of 2 small atomic nuclei into one nucleus
nuclear fusion
splitting of one large atomic nucleus into smaller fragments
nuclear fission
change of a less stable nucleus to a more stable nucleus
radioactive decay
fixed shape that does not conform to the container shape
Solid
not defined by rigidity or hardness
solid
