Melting Point
Definition

The temperature at which a solid begins to liquefy.

Term

Vaporization

Definition

 

The process of changing a liquid to a gas.

 

 

Term
Evaporation
Definition

Vaporization which happens at the surface of a liquid below the boiling point of that liquid.

Term
Boiling
Definition

A process which a liquid enters the gaseous state. It occurs throughout a liquid at a specific temperurature.

Term

Definition
Vibrate
Term

 

Phase change

Definition

When a material changes from one state of matter to another.

Term

Energy

 

Definition

 


Heat is the transfer of this from an object at a higher temperature to an object at a lower temperature.

Term

State with a definite volume but not a definite shape.

Definition

Processes of vaporization

Term
Sublimation
Definition

 

The process where a solid changes directly to a gas without first becoming a liquid.

Term
Condensation
Definition

 

The process of a gas or vapor becoming a liquid.

Term

Term
reactant
Definition
An original substance in a chemical reaction
Term
chemical equation
Definition
Shows the reactants and products involved in a reaction using chemical formulas
Term
Element
Definition
A substance made up of one type of atom.  These substances cannot be broken down by physical or chemical means.  Examples are iron, helium, copper and sodium.  They are found on the periodic table.
Term
Compound
Definition
A substance made up of two or more different elements chemically combined.  Examples are water, salt, carbon dioxide, and sugar.  These substances can be broken down into their elements by chemical means.   
Term
Mixture
Definition
A material made up of two or more substances that can be easily separated by physical means.  Pizza, salt water, and muddy water are examples.  
Term
Heterogeneous Mixture
Definition
A mixture in which different materials in the mixture can be distinguished easily (a mixture which does not look the same throughout).  A cup of lucky charms, mixed berries or dry soup mix are examples. These mixtures are separated by physical means.
Term
Colloid
Definition
A type of mixture with particles that are larger than those in solutions, but not heavy enough to settle out.  Fog, paint and coolwhip are examples of this type of mixture. 
Term
Homogeneous Mixture
Definition
A mixture which is blended uniformly throughout.  All parts of the mixture look the same.  Examples are soft drinks in sealed bottles, vinegar and metal alloys.  These mixtures are separated by physical means.
Term
Suspension
Definition
A heterogeneous mixture containing a liquid in which visible particles settle.  Suspensions will show the tyndall effect like colloids.  But unlike colloids, suspensions settle and can be separated with a filter paper.  Muddy pond water is an example.
Term
Physical Property 
Definition
Any characteristic of a material that you can observe without changing the identity of the substance.  Examples are color, shape, size, density, magnetism, melting and boiling point.
Term
Physical Change
Definition
A change in the size, shape, or state of matter.  Examples are crushing a sugar cube or boiling and freezing.
Term
Distillation
Definition
A physical separation method which uses the property of different boiling points to separate a mixture.
Term
Chemical Property
Definition
A characteristic of a substance that indicates whether it can undergo a certain chemical change.  Flammability of a substance or the reactivity of a substance are examples. 
Term
Chemical Change
Definition
A change of one substance into another.  Burning, rotting and rusting are examples.
Term
Clues of a chemical change
Definition
A combination of changes in temperature and color, formation of a gas (bubbling or fizzing), or a solid, and production of light or sound
Term
Law of Conservation of Mass
Definition
Mass is neither created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction.  The total mass of the reactants is equal to the total mass of the products after a chemical reaction has taken place.
