Nature of Matter

Some terms may be new, but in general a good primer.

AB
solidstate or phase of matter with a defined shape
liquidstate or phase of matter that assumes the shape of it's container
gasstate or phase of matter that takes the shape of it's container AND it can be compressed
plasmastate or phase of matter which has so much energy that is found mostly in stars
dry icefrozen carbon dioxide
liquid crystals and jellosubstances that do not really fit into any state
glass, wax, rubberexamples of amorphous solids
salt, sand, gemstoneexamples of crystalline solids
amorphous solidssolids without a regular repeating pattern
crystalline solidssolids with a regular repeating pattern
gasmolecules move faster than liquids in this state
solidmolecules move the slowest in this state
liquidmolecules move around each other in this state
gas or plasmamolecules can escape their container in this state
solidif you add heat to this state of matter it melts
gasif you take energy away from this state of matter it condenses into liquid
liquidif you add energy to this state of matter it boils
fasterIncreasing the temperature of a substance causes the molecules to move___________.
Phase changeThis change happens when a substance either absorbs enough energy or gives off enough energy
Chemistrystudy of matter and how it changes
matteranything that has mass and occupies space
elementsubstance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances
atomsmallest particle that has the properties of an element
compoundsubstance made af atoms more than one element bound together
moleculesmallest unit of a substance that exhibits all of the properties of that substance
chemical formulachemical symbols and numbers indicating the atoms contained in the basic unit of a substance
mixturecombination of more than one pure substance
energythe ability to change or move matter
evaporationthe change of a substance from a bas to a liquid
sublimationchange of a substance rom a solid to a gas
chemical propertythe way a substance reacts with others
Physical propertycharacteristic that can be observed without changing composition
melting pointtemperature at which a solid becomes a liquid
boiling pointtemperature when a liquid becomes a gas
chemical changechange occurs when a substance changes composition new substance
physical changechange in form not composition
fluida substance that flows liquid or gas
densitymass per unit volume
