| Matter | anything that has a mass and takes up space |
| Volume | the amount of space taken up, or occupied by an object |
| Meniscus | the curve at the surface of a liquid |
| Mass | the amount of matter in an object |
| Weight | a measure of the gravitational force exerted on an object |
| Inertia | the tendency of an object to resist a change in motion |
| Physical Property | anything that can be observed or measured without changing the matter's identity |
| Density | the amount of matter in a given space, or volume |
| Physical Change | a change that affects one or more physical properties of a substance |
| Thermal Conductivity | the rate at which a substance transfers heat |
| State | the physical form in which a substance exists, such as solid, liquid, or gas |
| Solubility | the ability of a substance to dissolve in another substance |
| Ductility | the ability of a substance to be pulled into a wire |
| Malleability | the ability of a substance to be rolled or pounded into thin sheets |
| Chemical Property | describe matter based on its ability to change into new matter that has different properties |
| Chemical Change | happens when one or more substances are changed into new substances that have new and different properties |
| Flammability | the ability of substance to burn |
| State of Matter | the physical forms in which a substance can exist |
| Solid | the state of matter that has a definite shape and volume |
| Liquid | the state of matter that has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container |
| Gas | the state of matter that has no definite shape or volume |
| Crystalline | very orderly, 3D arrangement of particles |
| Amorphous | made of particles that aren't in a specific arrangement |
| Surface Tension | the force that acts on the surface of a liquid and tends to minimize the area of the surface |
| Viscosity | the resistance of a gas or liquid to flow |
| Temperature | a measure of how hot or cold something is; specifically, a measure of the movement of particles |
| Pressure | the amount of force exerted per unit area of a surface |
| Boyle's Law | the law that states that the volume of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure of gas when temperature is constant |
| Charle's Law | the law that states the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the temperature of a gas when pressure is constant |
| Change of State | the change of a substance from one physical state to another |
| Melting | the change of state in which a solid becomes a liquid by adding energy |
| Evaporation | the change of state in which a liquid becomes a gas |
| Boiling | the conversion of a liquid to a vapor when the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the atmospheric pressure |
| Condensation | the change of state in which a gas becomes a liquid |
| Sublimation | the change of state in which a solid becomes a gas |
