Test your understanding of the concepts presented in the study of this topic.

AB
matteranything that has mass and occupies space
massmeasure of the quantity of matter
elementsubstance that cannot be broken down into other substances by ordinary chemical change
compoundsubstance made up of two or more elements that ae chemically combined
mixturecombination of two or more substances in which each substance retains its individual properties
homogeneous mixturemixture with uniform characteristics throughout
heterogeneous mixturemixture with portions that have different characteristics or composition
propertiesset of characteristics that can be used to recognize a substance
extensive propertiesdepend on the amount of the substance that is present (volume, weight, mass, length)
intensive propertiesproperties that do not depent on the amount of substance resent (melting point, boiling point)
densitymeasure of the quantity of mass of a substance that occupies one unit of volume
physical propertiescharacteristics of substances that can be obserrved without producing new substances
ductilityphysical property describing metals ability to be draw or pulled into wires
malleabilityphysical property describing metals ability to be hammered into thin sheets
lusterphysical property describing metals shiny appearance
conductivityphysical property describing metals ability to conduct (carry) electrical charges
chemical propertiescharacteristics describing how substances interact in the presence of other substances to produce new substances
physical changechange in physical properties o a substance without a change in chemical properites or composition
chemical changechange resulting in the production of substances that differ in chemical properties and composition from the original substance
miscibledescribes two liquids that can mix together to from a solution
immiscibledescribes two liquids that when mixed form a heterogeneous mixture
viscositymeasure of the ease with which liquids flow
weightforce of gravity on a mass
workmass moved by a force through a distance
chemistrystudies the structure and behavior of matter
solutionsubstances dissolve to form a homogeneous mixture
suspensionheterogeneous mixture that separates into layers with time
colloidmixture between suspension and solution
mixture with smallest particlessolution
mixture with medium particlescolloid
mixture with large particlessuspension
hardnessability of a suvstance to scratch or be scratched
melting pointtemperature where solid changes to liquid
boiling pointtemperature where liquid changes to gas
densityratio of mass of a substance to its volume
filtrationseparates materials based on size of particles
distillationseparates materials based on boiling points
flammabilitysubstance's ability to burn in presence of oxygen
reactivityhow readily substances combine
precipitatesolid that sorms and separates from a liquid mixture
