(85 cards)
anything that occupies space and mass
matter
form of matter with a definite composition and distinct properties
substance
water, ammonia, table sugar, gold, and oxygen are examples of what type of matter?
substance
combination of two or more substances where the substances retain their distinct identities
mixture
air, soft drinks, milk, and cement are examples of what type of matter?
mixture
type of mixture where the composition is the same throughout
homogenous mixture
type of mixture where the composition is not uniform
heterogenous mixture
True or False: Mixtures can be separated through physical means.
True
substance that cannot be further separated into simpler substances through chemical means
element
substance composed of two or more elements chemically united in fixed proportions
compound
True or False: Compounds can be separated through physical means.
False, chemical means
three common states of matter?
solid, liquid, and gas
state of matter where atoms or molecules are held close together in an orderly fashion with little freedom of motion
solid
state of matter where atoms or molecules are close together but not held so rigidly in position and can move past one another
liquid
state of matter where atoms or molecules are separated by large distances compared to the size of the atoms or molecules
gas
temperature where solid becomes a liquid
melting point
temperature where liquid becomes a gas
boiling point
state of matter that behaves like a gas and can expand indefinitely; consists of high-energy particles (i.e. neutral atoms, electrons, ions)
plasma
True or False: A plasma is strongly influenced by electrical and magnetic fields despite having an overall negative charge.
False, it has an overall charge of 0
state of matter where the atom’s kinetic energy at a low enough temperature causes atoms to be condensed together
Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC)
state of matter with the property of superfluidity and allows scientists to study quantum mechanics
Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC)
property that can be measured without changing the composition or identity of a substance
physical property
property that is observed when a chemical change is carried out
chemical property
measured value of this property depends on how much matter is being considered
extensive property
