Chemistry

Submicroscopic particles that constitue the fundamental building blocks of ordinary matter.

Atoms that bind together in specific geometrical arrangments.

The science that seeks to understand the behavior of matter by studying the behavior of atoms and molecules.

A tentative interpretation or explanation of the observations.

A brief statement that summarizes past observations and predicts future ones.

In a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed.

One or more well-established hypotheses. a Model for the way nature is and tries to explain not only what it does but why.

Matter is composed of small, indestructable particles called atoms.

Anything that occupies space and has mass.

Specific instance of matter. examples: air, water, sand, etc.

Solid, liquid, or gas

Atoms or molecules pack close to eachother in fixed locations. Although the atoms or molecules vibratem they do not move around or pass eachother. Fixed volume and rigid shape.

Solid matter. Its atoms or molecules are in patterns with long range, repeating order. ex: diamond

Solid state. Its atoms or molecules do not have any long-range order. Ex: glass or plastic

Atoms or molecules pack about as closely as they do in solid matter, but they are free to move relative to eachother. liquids have fixed volume but not a fixed shape.
