A

22
Q

solids

A

have definitive shape and definitive volume

23
Q

liquids

A

definitive volume and take the shape of the container

24
Q

gases

A

do not have definitive shape and fill their container

25
how can you convert from one form of matter to the other
the addition or removal of energy
26
vapor
is something that is some other state of matter at room temperature
27
the fourth state of matter
plasma
28
plasma
charged gas
29
when is plasma created
when a gas is heated strongly or when it is electrified
30
pure substances
have a definite, unchanging, chemical composition
31
elements
substances made of only one type of atoms
32
compounds
substances made of two or more elements chemically combined
33
what is the smallest unit of an element
atom
34
how can compounds be broken down
chemical means
35
what are the properties of a compound always
different from the properties of the elements making it up
36
what happens when two or more elements are physically combined
a mixture is created
37
mixtures
can be separated by physical means and they do not have a definite chemical composition
38
homogenous mixtures
they have a uniform composition and you cant pick out the individual components
39
examples of homogenous mixtures
gasoline, air, tap water, brass, sterling silver,
40
liquid and gaseous mixtures can also be known as
solutions
41
heterogeneous mixtures
do not have a uniform composition-you can see the individual components or phases
42
heterogeneous mixtures examples
ocean water, lemonade with pulp
43
physical changes
can be reversed - matter changes form but no identity
44
examples of physical changes
tearing pieces of paper, freezing, adding food coloring to water
45
chemical change
one that results in the formation of at least one new substance
46
examples of chemical changes
burning a piece of wood, baking, rusting,
47
evidence of chemical change
change of color, production of gas, formation of precipitation
48
chromatography
used for liquids when at least one of the components is colored - placing a small dot of the solution onto chromatography paper - the paper goes into the beaker which has a small amount of solvent in the bottom
49
distillation
separating a liquid solution where the components have different boiling points
50
evaporation
a solid is dissolved in a liquid
51
filtration/Gravimetric analysis
used to separate a solid from a liquid when the solid is large enough to be caught in filter paper
52
decanting
basically pouring off the top layer while leaving the bottom layer behind
