Chapter 3 Matter & Energy
Across
- 2. the temperature scale that assigns 0 to the coldest temperature possible (absolute zero)
- 4. the careful pouring off (e.g., pouring the oil layer off of the water layer)
- 5. the three forms in which matter can exist; solid, liquid, and gas
- 7. An energy unit equivalent to 1,000 little-c calories
- 8. a unit of energy equal to 3.6 million joules
- 9. a state of matter in which atoms or molecules are packed close to each other in fixed locations
- 12. a type of solid matter with atoms or molecules arranged in a well-ordered, three-dimensional array with long-range, repeating order (e.g., diamond and salt)
- 13. the transfer or exchange of thermal energy caused by a temperature difference
- 16. those properties that a substance displays without changing its composition
- 17. a substance composed of two or more elements in fixed, definite proportions
- 18. anything that occupies space and has mass (it exists in three different states: solid, liquid, and gas)
- 20. the process by which one or more substances transform into different substances via a chemical change (often emitting or absorbing energy)
- 25. a law stating that energy can be neither created nor destroyed. The total amount of energy is constant and cannot change; it can only be transferred from one object to another or converted from one form to another
- 30. a substance composed of two or more different types of atoms or molecules combined in variable proportions
- 31. a change in which matter changes its composition
- 32. the energy of a body that is associated with its position or the arrangement of its parts
- 34. a temperature scale often used by scientists. On this scale water freezes at 0 and boils at 100 at 1 atm pressure. Room temp ~22
- 35. the quantity of heat energy required to change the temperature of a given amount of a substance by 1 degree Celsius
- 36. able to occupy a smaller volume when subjected to increased pressure. Gas phase atoms or molecules can be _______ as they are widely separated
- 37. the heat capacity of a substance in joules per gram degree Celsius
- 40. the initial substance in a chemical reaction and is represented on the left side of a chemical equation
- 41. energy associated with the motion of an object
- 42. the result of a force acting on a distance
- 43. the energy associated with the random motions of atoms and molecules in matter
- 45. tending to vaporize easily
Down
- 1. describes a process that absorbs energy
- 3. a change in which matter does not change its composition, even though its appearance might change
- 4. a process in which a mixture is heated to boil off the more volatile liquid
- 6. a type of solid matter in which atoms or molecules do not have long-range order (e.g., glass and plastic)
- 10. the final substance produced in a chemical reaction and is represented on the right side of a chemical equation
- 11. the capacity to do work
- 14. properties that a substance can display only through changing its composition
- 15. a characteristic we use to distinguish one substance from another
- 19. describes a process that releases heat energy
- 21. the energy associated with chemical changes
- 22. a mixture, such as salt water, that has the same composition throughout
- 23. a mixture, such as oil and water, that has two or more regions with different compositions
- 24. a substance composed of only one type of atom or molecule
- 26. a substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances
- 27. a state of matter in which atoms or molecules are widely separated and free to move relative to one another
- 28. the process of separating solids from liquids by filter paper
- 29. the temperature scale that is most familiar in the US; water freezes at 32 and boils at 212 at 1 atm pressure
- 33. energy associated with the flow of electric charge
- 38. the smallest identifiable unit of an element
- 39. the measure of a substance's thermal energy
- 44. two or more atoms joined in a specific arrangement by chemical bonds (the smallest identifiable unit of a molecular compound)
- 46. a state of matter in which atoms or molecules are packed close to each other (about as closely as in a solid) but are free to move around and by each other
