Matter Flashcards
(24 cards)
can be measured w/o changing the chemical composition of the matter
Physical Property
depend on the amount of matter being measured
(Ex: mass, volume, moles)
Extensive Properties
independent of the amount of matter being considered
(Ex: color, melting point, boiling point, density)
Intensive Properties
the characteristic ability of a substance to react to form new substances
(Ex: flammability, susceptibility to corrosion)
Chemical Property
has a definite composition and distinct properties
One of two types of matter
Pure Substance
cannot be broken down into a simpler substance
Element
when two or more types of elements are used in fixed proportion w/ one another to form a single substance
Compound
a combination of two or more substances that retain their distinct identities
One of two types of matter
Mixture
the composition of the mixture is the same throughout
Mixture
Homogeneous mixture
component that exists in the greatest amount
One of two parts of a solution
Solvent
component that exists in minor amount
One of two parts of a solution
Solute
the components of a mixture can be differentiated
Mixture
Hetereogeneous Mixture
components have large particles
Heterogeneous Mixture
Suspension
particles are tiny but still evenly dispersed
Heterogeneous Mixture
