Lesson 1

PROPERTIES OF MATTER

• states of matter

• solid

• liquid

• gas

• vapor

• physical property

• extensive property

• intensive property

• chemical property

• Four states of matter are solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.

• Physical properties can be observed without altering a

substance’s composition.

• Chemical properties describe a substance’s ability to combine

with or change into one or more new substances.

• External conditions can affect both physical and chemical properties.

Lesson 2

CHANGES IN MATTER

• physical change

• phase change

• chemical change

• law of conservation of mass

• A physical change alters the physical properties of a substance

without changing its composition.

• A chemical change, also known as a chemical reaction, involves a

change in a substance’s composition.

• In a chemical reaction, reactants form products.

• The law of conservation of mass states that mass is neither

created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction; it is conserved.

Lesson 3

ELEMENTS AND COMPOUNDS

• element

• periodic table

• compound

• law of definite proportions

• percent by mass

• law of multiple proportions

• Elements cannot be broken down into simpler substances.

• Elements are organized in the periodic table of the elements.

• Compounds are chemical combinations of two or more elements,

and their properties differ from the properties of their compo-

nent elements.

• The law of definite proportions states that a compound is always

composed of the same elements in the same proportions.

• The law of multiple proportions states that if elements form

more than one compound, those compounds will have composi-

tions that are whole-number multiples of each other.

Lesson 4

MIXTURES OF MATTER

• mixture

• heterogeneous mixture

• homogeneous mixture

• solution

• filtration

• distillation

• sublimation

• chromatography

• crystallization

• A mixture is a physical blend of two or more pure substances in

any proportion.

• Solutions are homogeneous mixtures.

• Mixtures can be separated by physical means. Common separa-

tion techniques include filtration, distillation, sublimation,

chromatography, and crystallization.
