16
Q

Chemical Properties

A

Any characteristic that describes how matter interacts with another substance

17
Q

Biological Property

A

The characteristic of having all 9 features of living things

18
Q

Physical Change

A

The characteristic of having all 9 features of living things

19
Q

Chemical Change

A

Change to the chemical properties of matter, substance is changed into a new substance with new properties, cannot change back

20
Q

Law of Conversation of Matter / Mass

A

Matter cannot be created nor destroyed,
The number of atoms/mass of the reactants equals the number of atoms/mass of the products.

21
Q

Phase/State of Matter

A

solid, liquid, and gas
Changed by changing temperature or pressure

22
Q

Solid

A

Definite shape & definite volume
Particles packed together and vibrate but have fixed positions
Lower energy

23
Q

Liquid

A

No definite shape but has definite volume
Particles spread apart
Medium energy

24
Q

Gas

A

No definite shape & no definite volume
Particles spread far apart

25
Q

Melting

A

matter changing from solid to liquid
⬆ energy, ⬆ particle movement
melting point= temperature substance melts at

26
Q

Freezing/Solidification

A

matter changing from liquid to solid
⬇ energy, ⬇ particle movement
freezing point= temperature substance freezes at

27
Q

Vaporization/Evaporation

A

matter changing from liquid to gas
⬆ energy, ⬆ particle movement
Boiling point= temperature substance turns to gas at

28
Q
