Pure Substaces have a ______________ compostion and all specimens have the same _______________ and ____________.
constant composition; make-up; physical properties
All substances are either ____________ or ____________.
Elements or compounds
Elements - composed of only one type of ______________.
material
All elements are composed of _________.
atoms
Compounds - consists of two or more _________ that are always __________ _________ in the same proportion.
elements; chemically combined
Properties - characteristics that define
an entire group
extensive properties
depend on the amount of matter present
intensive properties
doesn;t depend on the amount of matter present
Physical properties
characterisics observed or measured without chaning the idenity of a substance
physical changes
occur when matter undergoes a phyical change of state but its compostiion remains constantm
melting point
temp at which a soild changes state fto a liquid
freezing point
temp at which a solid changes liquid turns into a solid
boiling point
liquid reach a temp where bubbles form within the liquid
Physical appearance of a substance can also change with a _____________ _______________.
physical change
ex. salt dissovled in water
Chemical Properties - describes the
describes ability of a substance
-to interact with other substances
-to change into a new substance
Chemical changes- take place when
the orginal substance is converted to a new substance with different physical and chemical properties
Signs that a Chemical change has happened
Change in color, temperature, texture, bubbles appear, production of a odor or new substance or a change in sound or light
Mixtures - 2 or more __________ substances, ___________ _______ but not _________ ________.
Different; physically mixed; chemicall combined
Homogeneous Mixture or Solution
composition is uniform throughout
Heterogeneous Mixture ot Solution
components do not hace a uniform composition throughout
Characistics of Metals
-shiny & metallic luster
-good electrical and heat conductor
-most are soid at room temperature
-malleability
-ductile- drawn into a fine wire
Characteristics of Nonmetals
-many are soild at room temp (5 are solid)
-poor conductors of of heat and electricity
Characteristics of Metalloids
-All are solid at room temp
-less mabeable than metals but not as brittle like nonmetals
- semiconductors of electricity
