Definition
atom 
Term
Matter 
Definition
anything that has mass and takes up space 
Term
Atom 
Definition
the basic unit of matter: It is the smallest part of an element that has the chemical properties of that element.  It can not be broken down by a chemical change 
Term
Proton 
Definition
A positively charged particle found in the nucleus of an atom 
Term
Neutron 
Definition
a particle in the nucleus that has is neutral(no charge).  It has the same mass as proton. 
Term
Electron 
Definition
a negatively charge particle found outside the nucleus in a region is called the electron cloud 
Term
Nucleus 
Definition
the center of the atom containing the protons and neutrons 
Term
Atomic Mass or Weight 
Definition
number of protons and neutrons found in the nucleus of an atom 
Term
Atomic Number 
Definition
the number of protons in the nucleus 
Term
Element 
Definition
a type of matter made of only one type of atom that have the identical number of protons in their nucleus 
Term
Mixture 
Definition
a type of matter made up of two or more substances that are not chemically combined
Term
Compound 
Definition
a type of matter made up of elements that are chemically combined to form a new material with different properties from the original elements.  The elements can not be separated by physical means 
Term
Physical Properties 
Definition
the characteristics that can be observed without chemically changing the substance 
Term
Chemical properties 
Definition
the characteristics that describes a how a substance will react with another substance, such as exploding when exposed to oxygen 
Term
This occurs when the physical properties of substances changes, but no new substances are formed. example: evaporating, melting, freezing and sublimating
Definition
Physical change
Term
This occurs when a chemical reaction takes place. The atoms are rearranged to form new substances with new physical and chemical properties.
Definition
Chemical change
Term
Matter/mass is not created or destroyed in an ordinary chemical reaction.
Definition
Law of Conservation of Matter
Term
The amount of matter (mass) in a given amount of space (volume).
Definition
Density
Term
a physical property that identifies the temperature at which a solid changes  into a liquid. 
Definition
Melting point
Term
A physical property that describes matter as a solid, liquid, or gas. Matter changes states when either heat is added or taken away.
Definition
State or Phase of Matter
Term
a physical property that identifies the temperature at which a liquid changes into a gas
Definition
Boiling Point
Term
These are the substances that undergo a chemical change during a chemical reaction. They are on the left side of an equation
Definition
Reactants
Term
These are the substances that are produced through a chemical reaction. They are on the right hand side of an equation.
Definition
Products
Term
 The larger number that is to the left hand side of an element or compound in a chemical equation. It tells how many molecules there are in a compound
Definition
Coefficient
Term
The smaller number that is to the bottom right hand side of an element's symbol. It shows the number of atoms that element are present in a chemical formula
Definition
