Unit B Matter and Chemical Change: Section 1 Flashcards
What are the states of matter?
Solid, liquid, gas
What is it called when you go from solid to liquid?
Melting
What is it called when you go from liquid to solid?
Freezing
What is it called when you go from liquid to gas?
Evaporation
What is it called when you have a physical change from gas to liquid?
Condensation
What is it called when matter changes state from solid to gas?
Sublimation
What is it called when matter changes state from gas to solid?
Deposition
What are properties?
Characteristics that can be used to describe a substance
What are the two main types of properties?
Physical
Chemical
What are the physical properties of matter?
Color Luster Melting point Boiling point Hardness Malleability Ductility Crystal shape Solubility Density Conductivity
What is lustre?
An objects shininess
What is hardness?
An objects ability to resist being scratched
What is malleability?
The ability for an object to be pounded or rolled into sheets
What is ductility?
The ability for an object to be stretched into a long wire
When an object undergoes a physical change is anything new formed?
No
What does a chemical property describe?
How a substance reacts to other substances such as acids
What is formed in a chemical change?
A new substance
What are some examples of chemical properties?
Reaction with acids Ability to burn Reaction with water Behavior in air Reaction to heat
What are types of pure substances?
Elements and compounds
What is an element?
A material that cannot be broken down into any simpler substance
What is a compound?
When two or more elements combine chemically
What is a mechanical/Heterogeneous mixture?
When the different substances that make up the mixture are visible
What is a solution/Homogeneous mixture?
When the different parts that make it are not separately visible
What is a suspension?
A cloudy mixture in which tiny droplets are suspended within another
What are colloids?
A cloudy mixture in which the the particles of the substance are so small that they do not separate out easily
A chemical change occurs when…
Two or more materials react and create new materials and have completely different properties from the original substance
A physical change is one in which…
A material changes from one state to another
What are some examples of chemical change?
Change in color
Change in odour
Formation of a solid or gas
Release or absorption of energy
