Test 2 Flashcards
What are the two measurable properties common to all matter
Volume
Mass
This text divides matter into what two major categories
Pure substances
Mixtures
Name the six properties that can be observed without making the material something different
(Physical properties)
Color
Shape
Physical state
Odor
Taste
Texture
Density
The amount of matter packed into a given volume
Malleability
Describes how easily a material can be hammered into shapes
Ductility
Describes how easily materials can be drawn into thin wires
Conductivity
Describes the ability of a material to transfer heat or electricity between its particles
Name three very ductile metals
Copper, aluminum, gold
Name and describe the two types of mixtures
Heterogeneous -has two or more distinct regions or phases-Italian dressing
Homogeneous-has only one phase-saltwater
A uniform mixture of solid particles suspended in a liquid or gas. The particles will eventually settle out due to gravity
Suspension
HETEROGENEOUS
An element that naturally occurs as an individual atom
Monatomic element
Elements whose particles are normally composed of groups of three or more identical atoms
Polyatomic elements
When writing chemical symbols the first letter is always_in the second letter is always_
Capitalized, lowercase
List the four common physical properties of matter
Density, malleability, ductility, conductivity
Give an example of a very malleable metal
Gold
A Joule (J) is used to measure what two things
Energy and work
A type of mechanical energy which involves energy in motion
Kinetic energy
A type of mechanical energy which involves the energy of position
Potential energy
