Q

Intensive Properties

A

Do not depend on amount of matter present

17
Q

Physical Property

A

Characteristic that can be observed or measured without changing the identity of the substance

18
Q

Physical Change

A

Does not involve change in identity of the substance

19
Q

Change of State

A

Physical change of substance from one state to another (solid, liquid, gas)

20
Q

Solid

A

Definite volume and shape

21
Q

Liquid

A

Definite volume but indefinite shape

22
Q

Gas

A

Neither definite volume nor definite shape

23
Q

Plasma

A

high-temperature physical state of matter in which atoms lose their electrons

24
Q

Chemical property

A

Relates to substance’s ability to undergo changes that transform it into different substances

25
Chemical Change/Reaction
Change in which one or more substances are converted into different substances; substances that react are called reactants and substances formed are called products
26
Mixture
Blend of two or more kinds of matter; each of which retains its own identity and properties
27
Homogenous
Uniform in composition
28
Solutions
AKA homogenous mixture
29
Heterogenous Mixture
Not uniform throughout
30
Pure substance
Fixed composition and differs from a mixture in that every sample has same characteristics, every sample has same composition
