Anything that has mass and takes up space, also known as the stuff that makes up everything in the universe.

A pure substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by ordinary chemical means. For example, gold, iron, or oxygen.

A characteristic of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing the substance's chemical composition. Examples include color, density, melting point, and boiling point.

A characteristic of a substance that describes how it reacts with other substances. Examples include flammability, reactivity with acids, and oxidation.

The amount of matter in an object. It's a fundamental property of an object and doesn't change with location or gravity.

A change in the form or appearance of a substance, but not its chemical composition. Examples include melting ice, cutting paper, or mixing sand and water.

A change in the chemical makeup of a substance, resulting in the formation of new substances with different properties. Examples include burning wood, rusting metal, or cooking an egg.

The total mass of the reactants in a chemical reaction is equal to the total mass of the products. In other words, matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

The state of matter where substances have a definite shape and volume, meaning they hold their own shape and take up a specific amount of space.

The state of matter where substances have a definite volume but no definite shape, meaning they take up a specific amount of space but can flow to fit their container.

The process of a solid changing into a liquid. It occurs when enough thermal energy is added to the solid to overcome the forces holding its particles together.

The process of a liquid changing into a solid. It occurs when thermal energy is removed from the liquid, causing its particles to slow down and arrange themselves in a fixed pattern.

The process of a liquid changing into a gas. It can occur through boiling, where the liquid reaches a specific temperature called the boiling point, or through evaporation, where the liquid changes into a gas at the surface.

The process of a gas changing into a liquid. It occurs when the gas loses thermal energy, causing its particles to slow down and condense into a liquid.
