Science Test 3 Flashcards
Define Matter
Matter is anything with a mass and a volume
What are the three states of matter?
Solid, Liquid Gas
What are the characteristics of a solid? (2)
Definite volume and shape / particles “run in place” so it holds it’s shape.
What are the characteristics of a liquid? (2)
Definite volume but no definite shape / particles move over and around each other freely, allowing the liquid to flow
What are the characteristics of a gas? (2)
No definite volume or shape / Particles move freely around and are not held close together
What is the kinetic theory of matter?
The Atoms/ Molecules that make up matter are in constant motion.
What determines the state of matter?
Temperature
Define thermal expansion
Matter extends as it gets hotter, and it contracts when it is cooled
What is an atom?
An atom is the particles that make up matter
What is an element?
Matter made up of only one kind of atom
What is a compound?
Matter made up of more then 1 kind of atom chemically combined or 2 or more elements chemically combined
Is Co an element or a compound and why
It is an element because there is only one capital letter
Is CO an element or a compound and why
It is a compound because there is more than one capital letter
Is H an element or a compound and why
It is an element because there is only one capital letter
