Scatter: states of matter

matter
anything that has mass and takes up space
Physical property
can be observed without changing a substance into another substance
Chemical property
describes the ability of a substance to change into a different substance
Element
a pure substance that cannot be broken down into any other substance by chemical or physical means.
Atom
the basic particle of an element.
Molecule
a particle formed when two or more atoms are held together by chemical bonds.
Chemical formula
shows the elements in the compound and the ratio of atoms.
Mixture
is two or more substances that are together in the same place but are not chemically combined.
Homogeneous mixture
The substances are so evenly mixed that the different parts cannot be seen.
Heterogeneous mixture
The different parts can be seen.
Weight
a measure of the force of gravity on an object
Mass
measurement of how much matter an object contains
Volume
the amount of space that matter takes up
Density
a measurement that relates the volume and mass of an object
Law of conservation of mass
states that matter is not created or destroyed in any chemical or physical reaction.
Thermal energy
the total energy of all the particles in an object.
Endothermic change
a change in which energy is taken in, or absorbed
Exothermic change
a change of energy that releases or gives off energy
