-
LAW OF CONSERVATION OF MASS
MATTER IS NEITHER CREATED NOR DESTROYED
-
SCIENTIFIC LAW
BRIEF STATEMENT THAT SUMMARIZES PAST OBSERVATIONS AND PREDICTS FUTURE ONE
-
HYPOTHESIS
TENTATIVE INTERPRETATION OR EXPLANATION OF OBSERVATIONS
-
THEORY
EXPLAINS WHY NATURE DOES WHAT IT DOES
-
JOHN DALTON
CAME UP WITH THE ATOMIC THEORY
-
ATOMIC THEORY
MATTER IS COMPOSED OF ATOMS
-
MATTER
ANYTHING THAT OCCUPIES SPACE AND HAS MASS
-
SUBSTANCE
A SPECIFIC INSTANCE OF MATTER
-
CLASSIFYING MATTER; STATE
-
SOLIDS
- DEFINITE SHAPE
- DEFINITE VOLUME
-
LIQUIDS
- DEFINITE VOLUME
- INDEFINITE SHAPE
-
GAS
- INDEFINITE SHAPE
- INDEFINITE VOLUME
-
CRYSTALLINE SOLIDS
- ATOMS OR MOLECULES ARE IN LONG RANGE PATTERNS AND REPEATS
- ie. Iron, Ice
-
AMORPHUS SOLIDS
- ATOMS OR MOLECULES ARE NOT IN LONG RANCE PATTERNS NOR DEFINITE ORDER
- ie. Glass, Plastic
-
PURE SUBSTANCE
- MADE UP OF ONE COMPONET
- SAMPLE DOES NOT VARY
-
MIXTURE
MADE UP OF AT LEAST 2 COMPONETS THAT CAN VARY FROM ONE SAMPLE TO ANOTHER
-
ELEMENT
- ON ATOM OR MOLECULE
- ie. Helium
-
COMPOUND
- MADE UP OF TWO OR MORE ATOMS
- ie. Pure Water H2O
-
HOMOGENEOUS MIXTURE
- MIXTURE WITH THE SAME COMPOSTITION THROUGHOUT
- ie. Wet Sand
-
HETEROGENEOUS MIXTURE
- MIXTURE OF WHICH THE COMPOSITION CAN VARY THROUGHOUT.
- ie. Tea with Sugar
-
DISTILLATION
MIXTURE IS HEATED TO BOIL OFF VOLATILE LIQUID
-
VOLATILE
EASILY VAPORIZABLE LIQUID
-
DECANTING
- CAREFULLY POURING OFF
- ie. Water from Sand
-
FILTRATION
MIXTURE IS POURED THROUGH A PAPER FILTER THROUGH A FUNNNEL
-
PHYSICAL CHANGE
ALTER ONLY STATE OR APPEARANCE, NOT COMPOSTITION
-
CHEMICAL CHANGE
CHANGES THAT ALTER COMPOSITION AND REARRANGES ATOMS.
-
POTENTIAL ENERGY
ENERGY DUE TO POSITION OR COMPOSITION
-
KINETIC ENERGY
ENERGY DUE TO MOTION
-
THERMAL ENERGY
- WHEN AND OBJECT STRIKES ANOTHER OBJECT, ASSOCIATED WITH TEMPERATURE OF AN OBJECT.
- ie. Ground
-
LAW OF CONSERVATION OF ENERGY
ENERGY CANNOT BE CREATED NOR DESTROYED, BUT CAN ONLY CHANGE FROM ONE FORM TO ANOTHER.
-
TEMPERATURE
MEASURE OF KINETIC ENERGY
-
ACCURACY
HOW CLOE A SPECIFIC MEASUREMENT IS
-
PRECISION
HOW CLOSE A SERIES OF MEASUREMENTS ARE
-
RANDOM ERROR
ERROR THAT IS CAUSED BY RANDOM UNKNOWN AND UNPREDICTABLE CHANGES IN EXPERIMENT.
-
SYSTEMATIC ERROR
ERRORS THAT USUALLY COME FROM MEASUREMENT.
-
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
color, smell, freezing point, boiling point, melting point, infra-red spectrum, magnetic, opacity, viscosity and density
-
CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
heat of combustion, reactivity with water, PH, and electromotive force.
-
