| 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 |
