Separation of Matter Flashcards
Chemistry
the study of matter
Substance
something that is made up of one kind of matter
Matter
anything that has mass and takes up space
Property
an observable characteristic of an item
Physical Property Examples
Color, texture, lustre, solubility, temperature
Chemical Properties
Flammable, corosiveness, reactive, toxic, combustible, ability to not react easily
Intensive Property
does not depend on the amount of matter in a sampel
Extensive Property
depends on how much matter a sample has
Intensive Prop. Ex/
Temperature, boiling point, concentration, color, taste, smell
Extensive Prop. Ex.
weight, length, volume, mass, weight
Physical Change
matter changes form but not chemical identity
Chemical Change
a chemical reaction forms new products
Physical change examples
melting, shredding, boiling, chopping
Chemical Change Examples
combustion, rotting, rusting, digestion
Solid to Liquid
Melting
Liquid to Gas
Vaporization
Solid to Gas
Sublimation
Gas to Solid
Deposition
Liquid to Solid
Freezing
Gas to Plasma
Ionization

Recombination
Pure Substance
something that is made up of one kind of matter. Uniform composition
Element
made up one type of atom, cannot be broken down anymore
Compound
a chemical bond between two or more atoms
