| mattter | anything that takes up space and has mass |
| physical property | a characteristic than can be observed without changing a substance into a new substance |
| boiling point | the temperature at which a substance changes from liquid to gas |
| melting point | the temperature at which a substance changes from solid to liquid |
| mixture | 2 or more substances mixed but not chemically combined |
| pure substance | a substance made of only one kind of matter |
| element | a substance that can not be broken down, one the periodic table |
| compound | a substance made of two or more elements chemically combined |
| physical change | a change that does not change the identity of a substance |
| chemical change | a change that creates a new substance |
| solution | a mixture that is mixed so well that you can not see its parts |
| solid | state of matter with definite shape and volume |
| liquid | state of matter with a definite volume but no shape |
| gas | state of matter with no volume or shape |
| melting | changing from solid to liquid |
