Q

Properties that do not change the chemical nature of matter.
A physical property is defined as a characteristic of matter that may be observed and measured without changing the chemical identity of a sample. may change the arrangement of matter in a sample, but not the structure of its molecules.

A

Filtration

18
Q

the separating of the constituents of a liquid by boiling it and then condensing the vapor that results.. Can be used to purify water or other substances, or to remove one component from a complex mixture, as when gasoline is distilled from crude oil or alcohol from a mash.

A

Distillation

19
Q

one of the essential molecules that everything else is made of. A substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means. composed of atoms that have the same atomic number, that is, each atom has the same number of protons in its nucleus as all other atoms of that

A

Element

20
Q

a thing that is composed of two or more separate elements; a mixture. a substance formed when two or more chemical elements are chemically bonded together

A

Compound

21
Q

A

Chemical change

22
Q

an abbreviation or short representation of a chemical element

A

A

Chemical Property

27
Q

A process in which one or more substances, the reactants, are converted to one or more different substances, the products.
A process in which atoms of the same or different elements rearrange themselves to form a new substance. While they do so, they either absorb heat or give it off.
