PROPERTIES AND CLASSIFICATION OF MATTER

Question 1

anything that has mass and occupies space

Answer 1

matter

Question 2

refers to the distinguishing features that allow
material to be identified

Answer 2

properties

Question 3

can be measured and observed without changing the
composition or identity of a substance

Answer 3

Physical property

Question 4

Matter’s properties can be divided into two broad
categories.

Answer 4

1. Physical property
2. Chemical property

Question 5

Physical property is further classified into 2:

Answer 5

1. Intensive property
2. Extensive property

Question 6

properties that are not dependent on the amount of matter, rather they are dependent on the kind or quality of matter

Answer 6

Intensive properties

Question 7

those that depend so much on the amount or quantity of matter

Answer 7

extensive properties

Question 8

those that result in change in the composition, thus a new substance is produced

Answer 8

Chemical Properties

Question 9

texture, color, odor, hardness and density, boiling point, electrical conductivity, and solubility.

Answer 9

physical property

Question 10

flammability, reactivity with acids, and corrosiveness.

Answer 10

chemical property

Question 11

is the measure of the
amount of mass in a given amount of volume

Answer 11

density

Question 12

There are two primary ways to classify matter:

Answer 12

1. Physical state
2. Composition

Question 13

3 states of matter

Answer 13

1.solid
2.liquid
3.gas

Question 14

can be compressed to occupy a
smaller volume, or it can expand to occupy a larger one

Answer 14

gas

Question 15

has a distinct volume independent of its container but has no specific shape

Answer 15

liquid

Question 16

has both a definite shape and a
definite volume

Answer 16

solid

Question 17

Matter can be classified into substance:

Answer 17

Elements and compounds

Question 18

is matter that has distinct properties and a composition that does not vary from sample to sample.

Answer 18

pure substance

Question 19

combination of two or more substances in which the
substances retain their distinct identities

Answer 19

mixture

Question 20

Mixtures are either

Answer 20

homogeneous or heterogeneous

Question 21

mixture whose composition is uniform all throughout.

Answer 21

homogeneous mixture

Question 22

the substances combined are in an even or equal distribution and seen in only one
phase such as either solid, liquid, or gas.

Answer 22

homogeneous mixture

Question 23

characterized by having
different components wherein two or more phases of matter can be seen

Answer 23

heterogeneous mixture

Question 24

Some common methods of separating mixtures:

Answer 24

1.Filtration
2.Disitillation
3.Crystallization
4.Dissolution
5.Chromatography
6.Sublimation
7.Decantation
