Introduction To Matter

Subject : science
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. In physical science - an atom's central region - which is made up of protons and neutrons.






2. The law that states that the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure of a gas when temperature is constant

3. The change of a substance from one physical state to another






4. The conversion of a liquid to a vapor when the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the atmospheric pressure






5. The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom; the atomic number is the same for all atoms of an element






6. Describes something that occurs or repeats at regular intervals.






7. The amount of a particular substance in a given quantity of a mixture - solution - or ore






8. The tendency of an object to resist being moved or - if the object is moving - to resist a change in speed or direction until an outside force acts on the object






9. The law that states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the temperature of a gas when pressure is constant

10. A combination of two or more substances that are not chemically combined.






11. A substance made up of atoms of two or more different elements joined by chemical bonds






12. An atom that has the same number of protons (or the same atomic number) as other atoms of teh same element do but that has a different number of neutrons (and thus a different atomic mass)






13. A characteristic of a substance that does not involve a chemical change - such as density - color - or hardness.






14. A subatomic particle that has a positive charge and that is located in the nucleus of an atom; the number of protons in the nucleus is the atomic number - which determines the identity of an element.






15. A subatomic particle that has a negative charge






16. A region around the nucleus of an atom where electrons are likely to be found






17. A measure of the size or region in three-dimensional space.






18. One of the elements of group 2 of the periodic table






19. A mixture in which particles of a material are more or less evenly dispersed throughout a liquid or gas.






20. The smallest unit of an element that maintains the properties of that element






21. A nerve cell that is specialized to receive and conduct electrical impulses.






22. Anything that has mass and takes up space.






23. A change that occurs when one or more substances change into entirely new substances with different properties






24. The amount of force exerted per unit area of a surface.






25. One of the elements of Group 1 of the periodic table






26. A from of matter that does not have a definite volume or shape






27. A unit of mass that describes the mass of an atom or molecule






28. An element that is shiny and that conducts heat and electricity well.






29. The process in which a solid changes directly into a gas (the term is sometimes also used for the reverse process).






30. The resistance of a gas or liquid to flow.






31. The state of matter that has a definite volume but not a definite shape






32. A substance that cannot be separate or broken down into simpler substances by chemical means






33. The law that states that the repeating chemical and physical properties of elements change periodically with the atomic numbers of the elements.






34. A measure of the amount of matter in an object; a fundamental property of an object that is not affected by the forces that act on the object - such as the gravitational force.






35. A property of matter that describes a substances ability to participate in chemical reactions






36. A measure of how hot (or cold) something is; specifically - a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object.






37. A mixture consisting of tiny particles that are intermediate in size between those in solutions and those in suspensions and that are suspended in liquid - solid - or gas






38. A sample of matter - either a single element or a single compound - that has definite chemical and physical properties.






39. An element that conducts heat and electricity poorly and that does not form positive ions in an electrolytic solution.






40. A vertical column of elements in the periodic table; elements in a group share chemical properties






41. A homogeneous mixture throughout which two or more substances are uniformly dispersed.






42. The physical forms of matter - which are solid - liquid - gas - and plasma.






43. The ratio of the mass of a substance to the volume of the substance






44. The mass of an atom expressed in atomic mass units






45. In a solution - the substance in which the solute dissolves.






46. The sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.






47. One of the elements of group 17 of the periodic table






48. Elements that have properties of both metals and nonmetals; sometimes referred to as semiconductors.






49. The change of a substance from a liquid to a gas






50. A change of matter from one form to another without a change in chemical properties.
