chemical change | change that produces matter with a different composition from the original matter |
chemical property | ability of a substance to undergo a specific chamical change |
chemical reaction | process by which one or more substances change into one or more new substances |
chemical symbol | one or two letter representation for an element |
compound | substance composed of two or more elements chemicallly combined in a fixed proportion |
distillation | process used to separate a homogeneous mixture separating them by their boiling points or by allowing the vapor to escape leaving a solid residue |
element | smallest form of matter with a unique set of properties |
extensive property | property that depends on the amount of matter in a sample |
filtration | process used to separate a solid from a liquid in a heterogeneous mixtures where the liquid can pass shtough small holes but the solid cannot |
gas | form of matter that takes both the shape and volume of its container |
heterogeneous mixture | mixture in which the compoosition is not uniform throughout |
homogeneous mixture | mixture in which the compoosition is uniform throughout |
intensive property | property that depends on the type of matter in a sample, not the amount of matter |
law of conservation of mass | in any physical or chemical change mass can neither be created or destroyed, it is conserved |
liquid | form of matter that has an indefinite shape, flows, yet has a fixed volume |
mass | measure of the amount of matter an object contains |
mixture | a physical blend of two or more substances |
phase | any part of a sample with uniform composition and properties |
physical change | properties of a material may change, but composition remains the same |
physical property | quality of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing the substance’s composition |
precipitate | a solid that forms and settles out of a liquid mixture |
product | substance produced by a chemical reaction |
reactant | substance(s) present at the start of a chemical reaction |
solid | form of matter that has a definite shape and volume |
solution | usually used to describe a liquid mixture in which the compoosition is uniform throughout |
substance | matter that has a uniform and definite composition |
vapor | the gaseous state of a substance that is a liquid or solid at room temperature |
volume | measure of the space occupied by an object |
