What is the difference between an element and a compound?
An element is a pure substance consisting of one type of atom, while a compound consists of two or more types of atoms bonded together.
An element is a mixture of different substances, while a compound is a pure substance.
An element can be broken down into simpler substances, while a compound cannot.
An element is always a solid, while a compound can be in any state.
What is the difference between an mixture and a compound?
An mixture is a pure substance consisting of one type of atom, while a compound consists of two or more types of atoms bonded together.
An a mixture is not a pure substance and the parts are only physically combined, while a compound is a pure substance chemically bonded together.
An mixture can be broken down into simpler substances, while a compound cannot.
An mixture is always a solid like a salad, while a compound can be in any state.

What is a physical property of matter? Give a definition and three examples.
A characteristic that can be observed or measured without changing the substance's identity, such as color, melting point, and density.
A characteristic that involves a substance's ability to undergo a specific chemical change, such as flammability, reactivity, and acidity.
A property that describes the energy changes that occur during a chemical reaction, such as enthalpy, entropy, and free energy.
A property that involves the interaction of matter with electromagnetic radiation, such as absorption, emission, and reflection.
What is a chemical property of matter? Give a definition and three examples.
A characteristic that can be observed without changing the substance's chemical identity, such as color, melting point, and density.
A characteristic that describes the ability of a substance to undergo a specific chemical change, such as flammability, reactivity with acid, and oxidation.
A characteristic that can be measured using a ruler, such as length, width, and height.
A characteristic that describes the physical state of a substance, such as solid, liquid, and gas.
What is a physical change in matter?
A change that alters the form or appearance of a substance but does not make the substance into another substance.
A change that results in the formation of new chemical substances.
A change that involves the breaking and forming of chemical bonds.
A change that is irreversible.
What is a chemical change in matter? Give a definition and two examples.
A chemical change is a change in which the composition of a substance is altered, resulting in the formation of a new substance. Examples include rusting of iron and burning of wood.
A chemical change is a change in the state of matter without altering the chemical composition. Examples include melting of ice and boiling of water.
A chemical change involves the physical transformation of a substance without any change in its chemical properties. Examples include dissolving sugar in water and freezing of water.
A chemical change is a temporary change that can be easily reversed. Examples include stretching of rubber and folding of paper.
Which of the following are three indications that a chemical reaction is taking place? Choose all that apply.
Change in color
Formation of gas (bubbling)
Change in state
Change in temperature.
