Science that deals with composition, structure and properties of matter
|
Chemistry
|
|
The process by which one or more substances change to produce one or more different substances
|
Chemical reaction
|
|
Substance that has fixed volume and shape that result from the way their particles are arranged
|
solid
|
|
Substance that has fixed volume but not a fixed shape
|
Liquid
|
|
substance that has neither fixed volume nor fixed shape
|
Gas
|
|
Changes in which the identity of a substance doesn't change
|
Physical change
|
|
Changes in which the identities of substances change and new substances form
|
Chemical change
|
|
Describe the motion of particles in a solid
|
particles are held tightly in a rigid structure with only slight vibrations
|
|
Describe the motion of particles in a liquid
|
Particles can flow past each other and take the shape of container. Not held together as strongly as a solid
|
|
Describe the motion of particles in a gas
|
particles are weakly attracted to one another and move independently at high speed. Fill container completely
|

matter
|
|
a measure of the size of a body or region in three dimensional space

|
|
the quantity of matter contained in an object
|
mass
|
|
the measure of the gravitational force exerted on an object
