Words | Meaning | Example |
---|---|---|
Matter | Anything that has mass and occupies space; everything around us is made of matter. | Water, air, and rocks are all forms of matter. |
Element | A pure substance made up of only one type of atom; it cannot be broken down into simpler substances. | Oxygen is an element essential for breathing. |
Compound | A substance formed by chemically combining two or more elements in a fixed ratio. | Water (H2O) is a compound made of hydrogen and oxygen. |
Atom | The smallest unit of an element that retains its chemical properties. | An oxygen atom consists of protons, neutrons, and electrons. |
Molecule | A group of two or more atoms chemically bonded together. | Oxygen gas (O2) is a molecule composed of two oxygen atoms. |
Substance | A type of matter with a specific composition and distinct properties. | Sugar is a sweet-tasting substance often used in cooking. |
Physical Change | A change in the form or appearance of matter that doesn't alter its chemical composition. | Ice melting into water is a physical change. |
Chemical Change | A change in matter that results in the formation of new substances with different properties. | Combustion of gasoline is a chemical change. |
Phase | A distinct form or state of matter with uniform properties (e.g., solid, liquid, gas). | Ice is the solid phase of water. |
Solid | A phase of matter with a definite shape and volume; particles are closely packed together. | Wood is a solid material. |
Liquid | A phase of matter with a definite volume but no fixed shape; particles are more loosely packed. | Water is a common liquid at room temperature. |
Gas | A phase of matter with no definite shape or volume; particles are widely spaced apart. | Oxygen in the air is a gas we breathe. |
Density | The measure of mass per unit volume of a substance; how much matter is packed into a space. | Lead is denser than aluminum due to its higher mass per volume. |
Mass | The amount of matter in an object; measured in grams or kilograms. | The mass of a baseball is about 145 grams. |
Volume | The amount of space occupied by an object; measured in liters or cubic meters. | The volume of a shoebox is 10 liters. |
Chemical Reaction | The process in which substances (reactants) change into new substances (products) with different properties. | Baking a cake involves a chemical reaction between ingredients. |
Solution | A homogeneous mixture in which one substance (solute) is dissolved in another (solvent). | Table salt dissolved in water forms a saline solution. |
Boiling Point | The temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid to a gas (at atmospheric pressure). | The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit). |
Freezing Point | The temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid to a solid (at atmospheric pressure). | The freezing point of water is 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit). |
Evaporation | The process by which a liquid changes into a gas at the surface, often due to heating. | The puddle dried up through evaporation on a hot day. |
