25
properties of metal
shiny, solid, conducts electricity and heat, is malleable and ductile
26
properties of non-metal
dull(not shiny), a bit are solid, most are gases, and one is liquid, does not conduct electricity, brittle, not malleable or ductile.
27
properties of a metalloid
has some properties of metals and non-metals.
28
independent variable
the variable being tested
29
dependent variable
the variable being measured
30
controlled variable
the variable that doesn't change
31
what are two difference between a physical and chemical change
a physical change is where no new substances are made it can be reversed, a chemical change is when new substances are made and substances react and cant be reversed.
32
example of a chemical change
when a paper is burning
33
example of a physical change
when an ice cube melt
34
name everyday chemical reactions
photosynthesis, rusting and chopping an onion
35
list evidence a chemical reaction has occurred
gas bubbles, colour change and temperature change
36
polymer meaning
polymers are long molecules made up of many smaller identical molecules (monomers).
37
What is the difference between procedure and procedural recount?
A procedure details the steps or instructions to do or make something. Procedural recounts record steps involved in an investigation, usually in science.
38
3 common compounds and their chemical formula
carbon dioxide- CO2 carbon monoxide CO water H2O
39
properties of plastic
cheap,light,long lasting
40
an example of a polymer and the monomer it is made up of
polyester made up of ester
41
Which technology allows scientists to analyse atoms?
Electron microscope
