Introduction to Matter Vocab Test

Match the following

• Chemistry

• the smallest unit of matter that has the properties of an element

• element

• a table arragning all of the known elements

• atom

• a pure substance that cannot be broken into simpler substances and is made of only one type of atom

• matter

• anything that has mass and takes up space

• periodic table of elements

• the study of the properties of behavior of matter.

Match the following.

• Weight

• the measurement of how much matter is present in an object-measured in grams or kilograms

• Density

• the amount of space that matter occupies; measured in milliliters for liquids and gases, or cm3 for solids.

• Volume

• a measure of how compact the atoms are in the object. Defined as the amount of mass in a specific volume, calculated using the equation: d=m/v [units are g/cm3 or g/mL]

• Mass

• a measurement of the heaviness of a mass due to the pull of gravity

Match the following

• gas

• substance where atoms are defined by a rigid pattern with definite volume and shape, and small atomic movement and energy

• liquid

• an electrically charged gas with no defined shape or volume created by superheating a gas or running electricity through the gas

• solid

• a substance where atoms are defined by fluid movement and therefore not a fixed shape but a constant volume with greater atomic energy, movement and fluidity.

• plasma

• a substance that does not have a definite shape or volume and the atoms move randomly to fill all the available space with higher atomic energy and maximum movement.
