AB
ChemistryThe study of the structure, properties and changes of matter.
ChemicalAny substance that has a definite composition or is used or produced in a chemical process.
massAmount of matter that makes up an object.
atomBasic building block of matter.
elementComposed of one type of atom.
compoundComposed of two or more different elements that are chemically bonded together.
Pure SubstanceAny element or compound
MixtureTwo or more pure substances blended together.
Extensive propertyproperty in which the amount of matter present affects the property. (ie. weight, mass, volume, size)
Intensive propertyproperty in which the amount present does not affect the property (color, boiling point, reactivity)
physical propertyproperty which can be observed or measured without changing the identity of the sample
chemical propertyproperty which can only be observed when the sample is changing into something new.
change of statewhen samples/substances change from gases to liquids or solids or vice versa
reactantsubstance present before a chemical reaction occurs
productsubstance present after a chemical reaction occurs
homogeneous mixturealso called a solution. The components of this mixture are uniformly blended
heterogeneous mixtureThe components of this mixture are not uniformly blended and it will have chunks
groupa column on the period table
perioda row on the periodic table
metalsThis region of the period table starts at group 1 and has elements in it through group 13. It is the largest region with elements that are solid metals with high boiling points, melting points and conductivity.
metalloidsIncludes a few elements located in between the metals and non metals with properties that lie between those two regions.
non metalsare all gases or brittle solids with low conductivity
