Chemistry | study of the composition, structure, and properties of matter and the changes that matter undergoes |
Matter | anything that has mass and takes up space |
Element | a substance that cannot be seperated or broken down into simpler substances by chemical means |
Atom | the smallest unit of an element that maintains the properties of that element |
Compound | a substance made of atoms of two or more different elements that are chemically combined |
Molecule | the smallest unit of a substance that keeps all of the physical and chemical properties of that substance |
Chemical Formula | a combination of chemical symbols and numbers to represent a substance |
Pure Substance | a sample of matter, either a single element or a single compound, that has definite chemical and physical properties |
Mixture | a combination of two or more substances that are not chemically combined |
Melting Point | the temperature and pressure at which a solid becomes a liquid |
Boiling Point | the temperature at which a liquid becomes a gas |
Density | the ratio of the mass of a substance to the volume of a substance |
Reactivity | the ability of a substance to combine chemically with another substance |
Flammability | the ability of a substance to react in the presence of oxygen and burn when exposed to a flame |
Physical Change | a change of matter from one form to another without a change in chemical properties |
Chemical Change | a change that occurs when a substance changes composition by forming one or more new substances |
Plasma | a state of matter that starts as a gas and then becomes ionized |
Energy | the capacity to do work |
Thermal Energy | Heat energy due to fast moving atoms |
