| substance | single kind of matter that is pure with a specific set of properties |
| physical property | characteristic of a pure substance that can be observed without changing it into another substance |
| luster | ability of a substance to reflect light |
| malleability | property that describes how material can be hammered or rolled into flat sheets |
| ductility | ability of a substance to be pulled into long, thin wires |
| soluble | dissolves or breaks down in another substance |
| chemical property | characteristic of a pure substance that describes its ability to change into different substances |
| mass, weight, volume, density | 4 general properties of matter |
| tarnish | chemical property that means to dull the luster |
| weight | measure of the force of gravity on an object |
| mass | measurement of the amount of matter in an object |
| volume | amount of space that matter occupies |
| density | mass/volume |
| solid, liquid, gas | 3 most common states of matter |
| submerging an object in a graduated cylinder | way of determining the volume of an irregular object |
| density | measurement of how much mass is contained in a given volume |
| chemical change | change that produces one or more new substances |
| triple beam balance | instrument used to measure mass |
| large rider | size of rider to move first when using a triple beam balance |
| vaporization | occurs when the particles in a liquid gain enough energy to form a gas |
| grams, kilograms | metric units to measure mass |
| graduated cylinder | used to measure the volume of liquids |
| tenacious | ability to hold objects together tightly |
| corrosive | to disolve or wear away gradually by chemical reactions |
| porous | having tiny holes |
| pungent | strong, sharp smell |
| viscous | resistant to flowing |
| explosive | produces energy through chemical reaction |
| stable | resistant to change |
| phase change, color, texture, flexibility | examples of physical properties |
