Properties of Matter and Change

What is matter?

• Anything that has mass and takes up space

• The ability to conduct heat or electricity

• The smallest unit of an element

• A measure of the amount of matter

Which property of matter is not affected by temperature or location?

• Volume

• Weight

• Mass

• Density

What is the difference between mass and weight?

• Mass is a measure of the amount of matter, while weight is a measure of the gravitational force on a body

• Mass and weight are the same thing

What is flammability?

• The ability to conduct heat or electricity

• A measure of how easily something burns

• A measure of how easily a substance dissolves in another substance

• The ability to change from one phase to another

What are physical properties and physical changes?

• Descriptions of the substance and how it changes without any chemical change; it still has the same properties

• How the substance interacts and forms new substances with different properties

• The substances that go into a chemical reaction

• The substances made at the end of the chemical reaction

What are chemical properties and chemical changes?

• Descriptions of the substance and how it changes without any chemical change; it still has the same properties
