13

physical property

a characteristic of a substance that does not involve a chemical change, such as density, color, or hardness

New cards
14

Density

the ratio of the mass of a substance to the volume of the substance

New cards
15

chemical property

a property of matter that describes a substance's ability to participate in chemical reactions

17

pure substance

a sample of matter, either a single element or a single compound, that has definite chemical and physical properties

New cards
18

element

a substance that can't be separated or broken down into simpler substances by chemical means

New cards
19

molecule

the smallest unit of a substance that keeps all of the physical and chemical properties of that substance

New cards
20

compound

a substance made up of atoms of two or more different elements joined by chemical bonds

New cards
21

mixture

a combination of two or more substances that are not chemically combined

New cards
22

homogeneous

describes something that has a uniform structure or composition throughout

New cards
23

heterogeneous

composed of dissimilar components

New cards
24

physical change

change in 1 or more physical properties without a change to chemical properties
