Words Meaning Example
Matter Anything that has mass and occupies space; everything around us is made of matter. Water, air, and rocks are all forms of matter.
Element A pure substance made up of only one type of atom; it cannot be broken down into simpler substances. Oxygen is an element essential for breathing.
Compound A substance formed by chemically combining two or more elements in a fixed ratio. Water (H2O) is a compound made of hydrogen and oxygen.
Atom The smallest unit of an element that retains its chemical properties. An oxygen atom consists of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Molecule A group of two or more atoms chemically bonded together. Oxygen gas (O2) is a molecule composed of two oxygen atoms.
Substance A type of matter with a specific composition and distinct properties. Sugar is a sweet-tasting substance often used in cooking.
Physical Change A change in the form or appearance of matter that doesn't alter its chemical composition. Ice melting into water is a physical change.
Chemical Change A change in matter that results in the formation of new substances with different properties. Combustion of gasoline is a chemical change.
Phase A distinct form or state of matter with uniform properties (e.g., solid, liquid, gas). Ice is the solid phase of water.
Solid A phase of matter with a definite shape and volume; particles are closely packed together. Wood is a solid material.
Liquid A phase of matter with a definite volume but no fixed shape; particles are more loosely packed. Water is a common liquid at room temperature.
Gas A phase of matter with no definite shape or volume; particles are widely spaced apart. Oxygen in the air is a gas we breathe.
Density The measure of mass per unit volume of a substance; how much matter is packed into a space. Lead is denser than aluminum due to its higher mass per volume.
Mass The amount of matter in an object; measured in grams or kilograms. The mass of a baseball is about 145 grams.
Volume The amount of space occupied by an object; measured in liters or cubic meters. The volume of a shoebox is 10 liters.
Chemical Reaction The process in which substances (reactants) change into new substances (products) with different properties. Baking a cake involves a chemical reaction between ingredients.
Solution A homogeneous mixture in which one substance (solute) is dissolved in another (solvent). Table salt dissolved in water forms a saline solution.
Boiling Point The temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid to a gas (at atmospheric pressure). The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit).
Freezing Point The temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid to a solid (at atmospheric pressure). The freezing point of water is 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit).
Evaporation The process by which a liquid changes into a gas at the surface, often due to heating. The puddle dried up through evaporation on a hot day.
