Unit 1: Matter and The Mole Flashcards
Chemical Properties
Those that can be observed only when there is a change in the COMPOSITION of the substance
Physical Properties
What can be observed without changing its original state.

Representative Particles
Smallest piece of a substance
Chemistry
The science that investigated and explains the structure and properties of matter.
Composition, properties, and the changes
Scientific Method
Systematic approach to answer a question or study a situation
Hypothesis
A possible explanation for what has been observed.
Experiment
A set of controlled observations that test a hypothesis
Independent Variable
The variable that is changed by the experimenter
Dependent Variable
The changes that occur from the independent variable
Theory
A thoroughly tested hypothesis that can NEVER be proven and examine why things behave a certain way.
Scientific Law
Describes a relationship in nature that is supported by many experiments an for which no exception has been found.
Matter
Anything that takes up space and has mass.
Mass
Is the measure of the amount of matters that an object contains.
Mixture
Something that has a variable composition.
Heterogenous Mixture
A type of mixture that is not uniform/similar
Homogenous Mixture (Solution)
A type of moisture where matter is uniform/similar throughout
