Science Flashcards
Any chemical change that causes a material to be worn away
Corrosion
A chemical change or _______ that takes ease on the atomic level and produces a new substance
Chemical reaction
A form of oxidation and corrosion of iron and iron alloys. These undergo chemical reaction when exposed to water and oxygen
Rusting
A characteristic of a substance that is observed when it undergoes a chemical change
Chemical property
Bonds that are formed when atoms
share electrons. Carbon dioxide is a molecule created by two of these bonds
Covalent bonds
The temperature at which a substance changes from the liquid phase to the gas phase.
Boiling point
Substances that are made up of only one kind of atom. They cannot be broken down by chemical reactions.
Elements
A chart that organizes the known elements by their properties
Periodic table of elements
This states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical
Change; it can only change forms, and the same overall amount if matter is present before and after the chemical change
Conservation of matter
The amount of matter (stuff) within a substance or an object. The tool used to measure ______ is the balance scale and the units of measure used for mass are milligrams and grams
Mass
This is the temperature at which a substance changes from a solid phase to the liquid phase. This is the same as another point at which a substance changes from a liquid to a solid
Melting point/freezing point
The amount of mass of a substance in a specific volume, calculated by mass divided by volume
Density
A change that changes the size or shape of a substance, but the physical properties and substance remain the same
Physical change
Made up of substances that remain the same substance; they can be separated into their original parts and keep their original properties. Example: salt water can be separated into salt and water
Mixture
Attributes of a substance that can be observed or measured that helps to define or identify the substance. These properties include density, melting point, color, texture, shape, size, and solubility.
Physical properties
Anything that has mass and volume
Matter
The new substance or substances formed in a chemical reaction
