state the three physical states of matter - ANSWER: solid, liquid, gas
the physical state of matter characterized by a definite shape and a definite volume. - ANSWER: solid
the physical state characterized by an indefinite shape and a definite volume - ANSWER: liquid

p_______, and the strength of the f______ holding its structural particles together - ANSWER:
temperature, pressure, forces
this matter is known as one of the few substances found in all three physical states, what is this
substance? - ANSWER: water

d. no correct response - ANSWER: c. gaseous state
The characterization "indefinite shape, definite volume" applies to
a. a solid
b. a liquid
c. both a solid and a liquid
d. no correct response - ANSWER: b. a liquid
it is the measure of the amount of matter present in a sample - ANSWER: mass
it is the measure of the amount of space occupied by the sample - ANSWER: volume
it is a distinguishing characteristic of a substance that is used in its identification and description -
ANSWER: property
it is a characteristic of a substance that can be observed without changing the basic identity of the
substance. - ANSWER: physical property
the melting point and boiling point of matter is a ________ property - ANSWER: physical
during the process of determining a physical property, the physical appearance of a substance may
change, but the substance's identity does not. TRUE OR FALSE? - ANSWER: true
it is a characteristic of a substance that describes the way the substance undergoes or resists change
to form a new substance. - ANSWER: chemical property
copper objects turn green when exposed to moist air for long periods of time, is this a chemical
property of copper? yes or no. - ANSWER: yes
Most often, the changes associated with chemical properties result from the i________ (reaction) of a
substance with one or more other substances. - ANSWER: interaction
sometimes, the presense of ______ can trigger the change known as decomposition - ANSWER:
energy
When chemical properties are specified, conditions such as t_______ and p______ are usually given
because they influence the interactions between substances. - ANSWER: temperature, pressure
Iron metal rusts in an atmosphere of moist air. physical or chemical property? - ANSWER: chemical
Mercury metal is a liquid at room temperature. physical or chemical property? - ANSWER: physical
Nickel metal dissolves in acid to produce a light green solution. physical or chemical property? -
ANSWER: chemical
Potassium metal has a melting point of 63°C. physical or chemical property? - ANSWER: physical
Which of the following statements about various substances describes a physical property of the
substance?
