chemical change
change that results when two or more substances react to create a different substance or substances; the new substances have completely different properties from the original ones
physical change
change in the appearance or state of a substance that does not change the composition
states of matter
refers to the three common states in which matter can exist: solid, liquid, and gas
melting
change of state from a solid to a liquid
evaporation
change of state from a liquid to a gas
freezing
change of state from a liquid to a solid
condensation
change of state from a gas to a liquid
sublimation
change of state from a solid to a gas
deposition
change of state from a gas to a solid
physical properties
property that describes the physical appearance and composition of a substance
ductile
description of a solid that can be stretched into a long wire
solubility
mass of a substance that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent to form a saturated solution at a given temperature
density
amount of mass in a given volume of a substance
element
pure substance that cannot be broken down into other substances; substance made up of only one type of atom
conductivity
ability of a substance to conduct electricity or heat
mechanical mixture
heterogeneous mixture; mixture in which the different substances that make up the mixture are visible
pure substance
substance made of only one kind of matter, which has a unique set of properties
suspension
cloudy mixture in which tiny particles of one substance are held within another, and the particles can be separated out
compound
chemical combination of two or more elements in a specific ratio
solution
homogeneous mixture; mixture of two or more pure substances that looks like one substance
colloid
cloudy mixture in which tiny particles of one substance are held within another and particles cannot be separated out from the other substance
malleable
description of a substance that can be pounded or rolled into sheets
matter
Anything that has mass and takes up space
chemical property
description of how a substance interacts with other substances, such as acids; chemical properties are observable only when a chemical change occurs
