1
New cards

Matter

Anything that has mass and takes up space (solid, liquid, gas, plasma)

2
New cards

Law of conservation of mass/matter/energy

Matter cannot be created or destroyed, only can change form

3
New cards

Mass

The measure of the amount of matter in an object (Units: g, mg, kg)

4
New cards

Solids

Definite shape, definite volume, temp effect: expands slightly

5
New cards

Liquid

Indefinite shape, definite volume, temp effect: expands more

6
New cards

Gas

Indefinite shape, indefinite volume, temp effect: expands alot

7
New cards

Gas vs. Vapor

Gases are usually gas state at room temp, Vapors are usually solid/liquid at room temp

8
New cards

Melting/freezing

Occurs when Solid←→Liquid, both occur at 0.C

9
New cards

Physical properties

observable with senses/can be determined without destorying the object: mass, length, color

12
New cards

Chemical properties

Indicates how something reacts (or doesn’t) with something else: flammability, reactivity

13
New cards

35
New cards

Nonmetal

Right of stair step, don't conduct heat and electricity well, lack luster, brittle, when solid, many are gases at room temp

36
New cards

Metalloids

Along/touching the stair step, have properties of both groups, some are semiconductors, the elements are B, Si, Ge, As, Sb, Te, Po, At
