anything that occupies space and has mass is called ____
matter
The ____ of an object is a measure of the amount of matter the object has
mass
The measure of the space occupied by an object is called ___.
volume
substance that are made up of only one kind of particles and has a fixed or constant structure
Pure Substance
a substance that consists of only one type or kind of atom
element
pure substance when two or more elements are combined chemically in a fixed ratio
compound
are made up of two or more substances that are not chemically combined with each other
mixture
mixtures which possess the same properties and combination throughout their mass
homogenous
possess different properties and compositions in various parts
heterogeneous
tightly packed, has definite volume and shape, hard to compress, does not flow
solid
densely packed, has a definite volume and has no shape but takes the shape of the container, not easily compress, flow easily
liquid
atoms and molecules
more spread out, No definite volume, No definite shape but takes the shape of its
container, Highly compressible, Flows easily
Gas
the process through which a substance changes from a liquid to a solid. All liquids except helium undergo freezing when the temperature becomes sufficiently cold.
freezing
the process by which a substance changes from the solid phase to the liquid phase.
melting
, is the process by which molecules undergo a
spontaneous transition from a liquid phase
to a gas phase.
vaporization
the opposite of evaporation, is the change in the state of matter from the gas phase to the liquid phase
condensation
the settling of particles or sediment onto a surface. also refers to the phase change from
gas to solid.
deposition
the transition from a solid phase to a gas phase without passing through an intermediate liquid phase.
sublimation
