Q

What are the classes of matter?

A

Elements, Compounds, and Mixtures

21
Q

blending of two or more substances by physical means

22
Q

A mixture that is the same all the way through.

A

Homogeneous Mixture

ex. fresh milk, Gatorade, air

23
Q

A mixture that is not uniform. You can see and identify different things in this type of mixture.

A

Heterogeneous Mixture

ex. Italian dressing, salsa, dirt, vegetable soup

24
Q

How many columns does the periodic table have, and what are these columns called?

A

There are 18 columns, called “groups”.

Groups have similar properties. Series increase from left to right in atomic number.

25
Q

What are the properties of metals?

A

Shiny, good conductors and reflectors, malleable (ability to bend), ductile (can be made into wire), tenacious (resists stretching), high melting point (increases as you move to the right and down)

26
Q

What are the properties of nonmetals?

A

Dull, brittle, nonconductors, nonreflective, nonductile, nonmalleable

27
Q

Which elements have the properties of both metals and nonmetals depending on outside conditions such as temperature?

A

Metalloids

ex. Silicon will only conduct an electrical current when it is heated

28
Q

involves data, measurement, qualities

A

Quantitative

29
Q

non-numerical observations such as color, odor, and sound
