25
All properties of matter are either ______ or _______.
Physical or chemical property.
26
Physical property can be separated into two parts what are they?
Intensive and extensive.
27
What is physical property?
A characteristic that can be observed without changing the substance.
28
What does extensive property depend on?
The amount of matter that is present. In which intensive property does not depend on.
29
What are some examples of extensive property?
Mass and volume.
30
What are some of examples of intensive property?
Density, color, boiling point and melting point.
31
What are some physical changes?
Blending, shredding paper, and chopping wood.
32
When does change of state occur?
Only at molecular level and in distance separating at molecules.
33
Why does solid have definite shape and definite volume?
Because the particles are packed together.
34
Why does liquid have indefinite shape and definite volume?
Because the particles can move past one another and are not fixed together.
35
Why do gases have neither definite shape or definite volume?
Because the particles are very far from each other.
36
What is the meaning of chemical property?
Chemical properties relate to a substance ability to undergo changes that transform it into substances.
37
What are some examples of chemical property?
Flammability, explosiveness, reactivity, burning wood and rotting banana.
38
What are reactants?
The ingredients of a chemical reaction.
39
What is the product in a chemical reaction?
It is the result of the chemical reaction.
40
Reactants —-> _________
Product.
41
(True or False) after a chemical reaction, the amount of the original substanc are less than before.
True.
42
Matter can or seperated into 2 parts, name them.
Mixtures and pure substance.
43
Slide 35.
44
What is a mixture?
A blend of two or more kinds of matter are mixed together physically and can be separated.
45
What are the two types of mixture?
Homogeneous mixture and heterogeneous mixture.
46
What is a pure substance?
Fixed composition that is homogeneous.
47
What are the methods of separating mixtures?
1) Sieving 2) Evaporation 3) Filtration 4) Sedimentation
48
What are metals?
Hard lustrous shiny objects that are malleable and ductile, and can conduct electricity and transfer energy.
49
Why are metals ductile and malleable?
Because they have high tensile strength which is the ability to resist, breaking when pulled
50
What is the meaning of malleable?
The ability to be harmed or rolled into thin sheets.
51
What is the meaning of ductile?
The ability to be drawn to fine wire.
52
Many nonmetals are ______ in room temperature.
Gases.
53
What is a homogeneous mixture?
the components of the mixture are evenly distributed.
54
What is a heterogeneous mixture?
The components of the mixer is not evenly distributed.
55
What is a heterogeneous mixture?
The components of the mixer is not evenly distributed.
56
What’s the most common name for group 18 elements on the periodic table in which states are they and what type of element are they?
Group elements are most commonly called noble gases. They all gases at room temperature and are classified as nonmetals.
