(35 cards)
Chemistry
Deals with the composition and properties of substances of matter
Matter
Substances of which any physical object consists or is composed
Extensive properties
A system that does not depend on the system size or the amount of material in the system
Intensive properties
Depends on the type of matter in a sample, not the amount of matter
Mass
A system that does not depend on the system size or the amount of material in the system
Volume
Is the quantity of three-dimensional space occupied by a liquid, solid, or gas
physical property
that do change to the chemical nature of matter.
physical change
Include changing the color, shape, state of matter, or volume of a substance.
chemical property
composition or identity of the substance is changed
Chemical change
Involving the rearrangement of the atoms of one or more substances
Phase (phase of matter)
can exist: as a solid, liquid, or gas.
Solid
having the interior completely filled up, free from cavities, or not hollow
Liquid
composed of molecules that move freely among themselves but do not tend to separate like those of gases; neither gaseous nor solid.
Gas
A substance possessing perfect molecular mobility and the property of indefinite expansion, as opposed to a solid or liquid.
Freezing
(of temperatures) approaching, at, or below the freezing point.
Melting
to become liquefied by warmth or heat, as ice, snow, butter, or metal.
vaporization
the conversion of a solid or a liquid into a gas.
condensation
the result of being made more compact or dense.
Sublimation
When the surface layer of snow or ice turns into fog or steam without melting,
Deposition
removal
Substance (Pure Substance)
that are made of only one type of atom or molecule
Element
one of a class of substances that cannot be separated into simpler substances by chemical means.
Chemical Symbol
the symbols in the periodic table
Compound
composed of two or more parts, elements, or ingredients
