2 - Matter And Its Properties Flashcards
.
physical change where the substance undergoes changes without changing its chemical composition
phase transition
solid to liquid
melting
liquid to gas
vaporization
gas to liquid
condensation
liquid to solid
freezing
solid to gas
sublimation
gas to solid
deposition
can be measured and observed without changing the materials chemical composition
physical
describes a materials possiblity to undergo chemical change
chemical
Examples of physical change
colour texture odor solubility density melting point boiling point
substance pacific properties that do not depend on the amount of the substance
intensive property
properties that do depend on the amount of substance
Extensive property
Examples of IP
density conductivity malleability luster colour hardness melting point temperature boiling point
Examples of extensive property
mass
weight
volume
length
cannot be broken down by physical means
pure substances
cannot be simplified any further
element
basic unit of an element
atom
good electrical and heat conductors ductile malleable metallic luster opaque solid at room temperature
metals
poor heat and electrical conductors brittle non ductile metallic luster transparent solid liquid or gas at room temperature
nonmetals
intermediate between metal and nonmetal
can be shiny or dull
excellent semiconductors
metalloids
can be broken down into simpler forms
made up of elements that are chemically bonded
compound
the fixed proportions of a compound are represented by a __________
chemical formula
when two or more elements combine to form a compound they follow a definite composition and proportion
law of definite proportion or constant composition
if the components of matter can be separated by physical means, components are not chemically bonded
mixture
