Science: Honors Chemistry Flashcards
Summer work:
A quantity adopted as a standard of measurement
Unit
Summer work:
The temperature at which the minimum average kinetic energies of all particles occur
Absolute zero
Summer work:
The energy of an object that is due to the object’s motion
Kinetic energy
Summer work:
A change of matter from one form to another without a change in physical properties
Physical change
Summer work:
Any change in matter in which energy is released
Exothermic
Summer work:
A measure of the size of a body or region in 3-dimensional space
Volume
Summer work:
Elements that exist as single atoms
Monatomic
Summer work:
A measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object, a measure of how hot or cold something is
Temperature
Summer work:
A substance or molecule that participates in a chemical reaction
Reactant
Summer work:
The energy transferred between objects that are at different temperatures. Energy is always transferred from higher-temperature objects to lower-temperature objects
Heat
Summer work:
A change that occurs when one or more substances change into entirely new substances with different properties
Chemical change
Summer work:
A substance that forms in a chemical reaction
Product
Summer work:
Changes in which the identity of a substance doesn’t change
Ex: state change
Physical changes
Summer work:
A measure of the amount of matter in an object. Not affected by the forces that act on the object
Mass
Summer work:
Consists of 2 or more atoms combined (bonded together) in a definite ratio, the smallest unit of a substance that keeps all of the physical and chemical properties of that substance
Molecule
Summer work:
The change of a substance from a liquid to a gas
Evaporation
Summer work:
The physical forms of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma
States of matter
Summer work:
Law that states energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be changed from one form to another
Law of Conservation of Energy
Summer work:
The identities of substances change and new substances form
Chemical changes
Summer work:
A property of matter that describes a substance’s ability to participate in chemical reactions and can only be identified when an object tries to undergo a chemical change
Ex: flammability, reactivity w/ acid or oxygen
Chemical property
Summer work:
A characteristic of a substance that does not involve a chemical change
Ex: mass, color, texture
Physical property
Summer work:
A measure of the gravitational force exerted on an object (mass). Depends on gravity, varies with location.
Weight
Summer work: Evidence of chemical change: 1) evolution of a \_\_ 2) formation of a \_\_\_\_ 3) release or absorption of \_\_\_ 4) \_\_ \_\_\_ in the reaction system
Gas
Precipitate
Energy
Color change
Summer work:
Anything that has mass and takes up space
Matter
