(57 cards)
What is the study of the composition, structure, and properties of matter?
Chemistry
What are the two properties of matter?
1.) Mass 2.) Volume
Space occupied by the matter
Volume
Measurement of the amount of matter in an object
Mass
Measures the gravitational force acting on an object
Weight
Mutual force of attraction
Gravity
Are the characteristics of matter that can changed without changing its composition
Physical properties
Properties that do not depend on the amount of the matter present
Intensive properties
Describe how shiny a substance is
Luster
Ability of a substance to be beaten or flattened into thin sheets
Malleability
Ability of a substance to be drawn into thin wires
Ductility
Allows the flow of energy or electricity
Conductivity
Describes how easily a substance can be scratched
Hardness
Solid into liquid
Melting point
Liquid into solid
Freezing point
Gas into liquid
Condensation point
The mass of a specific volume of a substance
Density
The opposition of a substance to the flow of an electric current
Resistance
Degree to which a substance will be dissolved
Solubility
Properties that depend on the amount of matter present
Extensive properties
Measurement of the linear extent
Length
Are the characteristics that determine how the composition of matter changes as a result of contact with other matter
Chemical properties
5 Signs of chemical change
1.) Odor production
2.) Change in temperature
3.) Change in color
4.) Formation of bubbles
5.) Formation of precipitate
Energy is released
Exothermic
