19
Q

What is a solid?

A

is neither liqid nor gas a maintains its own shape. Particles are moving very slowly

20
Q

What is a liquid?

A

Matter that can take on a different shape. Particles are moving around,but not out of control.

21
Q

What is a gas?

A

a vapor that is fluid in from and can expand indefinitely. Particles are moving fast and out of control.

22
Q

What is an atom?

A

smallest part of matter

23
Q

What is the periodic table?

A

A chart that shows the elements in order of increasing atomic numbers.

24
Q

What is a solution?

A

a mixture of one substance disolved in another

25
What is density
two measurement of how much mass fits within a certain volume. ( how much stuff is in an object).
26
What is a chemical change?
a change in matter that results in a new substance with new properties.
27
What is Physical change?
a change in size, shape color or state of matter with NO with no kind of matter being formed.
28
What is a indicator?
Substance that is one color in acid and another color base. it is used to identify the pH of a substance. (acid returns red and base turns blue/green.
29
What is the pH scale
measures the strengh of acids and bases (scale from 0 to 14)
30
What is acid?
A substance that produces positive hydrgen ions in water and has a LOW pH (falls between 0 to 7 the pH scale).
31
What is base?
A substances that produces negative hydroxide ions in water and as a HIGH pH (from 7 to 14 on the pH scale).
32
What is neutral?
Substance that is neither on acid or base (exactly 7 on the pH scale).
33
What is condensation?
When gas into a liquid.
34
What is evaporation?
a slow changing of a liquid to a gas
35
What is sublimation?
When a solid changes into a gas
36
What is deposition?
When a gas changes into a solid (deposition)
37
What is vaporizaton?
When a liquid changes into a gas and heat is applied to it.
38
What is burning?
A chemical reaction between a fuel and oxyen that results in energy, usually in the form of light and near.
39
What is rusting?
the breaking down of some metals in the presence of air and miosture.
40
What is dissolving?
when a substance is mixed with another substance to form a solution.
41
What is conversation of matter?
matter is not created or destroyed, it only changes form.
42
What is phase change?
a change from one state of matter to another.
43
What is Dmitri Mendeleev?
Russian scientist who created the periodic table of elements
