1
atom
2
atom the smallest component of an element having the chemical properties of the element, consisting of a nucleus containing combinations of neutrons and protons and one or more electrons bound to the nucleus by electrical attraction; the number of protons determines the identity of the element. a small particle that is the building block of matter; the smallest piece of an element that still represents that element.
3
chemical property
4
chemical property Chemistry. a property or characteristic of a substance that is observed during a reaction in which the chemical composition or identity of the substance is changed.
5
matter
6
matter something that has mass and occupies space.
7
electron
8
electron an elementary particle having a negative charge and existing independently or as the component outside the nucleus of an atom.
9
mass
10
mass is a measure of the number of atoms in it.
11
molecule
12
molecule the smallest physical unit of an element or compound.
13
nucleus
14
nucleus a central part about which other parts are grouped or gathered; core. the positively charged mass within an atom, composed of neutrons and protons, and possessing most of the mass but occupying only a small fraction of the volume of the atom.
15
proton
16
proton a positively charged elementary particle.
17
temperature
18
temperature a measure of the warmth or coldness of an object or substance with reference to some standard value.
19
physical property
20
physical property a property (as color, hardness, boiling point) of matter not involving in its manifestation a chemical change.
21
boiling point
22
boiling point the temperature at which a liquid boils.
23
compound

compound composed of two or more parts, elements, or ingredients.
25
density
26
density mass per unit volume.
27
element
28
element one of a class of substances that cannot be separated into simpler substances by chemical means.
29
melting point
30
melting point the temperature at which a solid melts.
31
neutron
32
neutron an elementary particle having no charge.
33
weight
34
weight the force that gravitation exerts upon a body, equal to the mass of the body times the local acceleration of gravity.
35
combustibility
36
combustibility capable of catching fire and burning; inflammable; flammable: Gasoline vapor is highly combustible.
37
malleable
38
malleable capable of being extended or shaped by hammering or by pressure from rollers.
39
vapor
40
vapor a visible exhalation, as fog, mist, steam, smoke, or noxious gas, diffused through or suspended in the air.
41
chemical reaction
42
chemical reaction a chemical change that occurs when two or more substances combine to form a new substance.
43
viscosity
44
viscosity a measurement of a liquid’s resistance to flow.
45
sublimation
46
sublimation to pass directly from the solid to the vapor state.
47
atomic number
48
atomic number the number of positive charges or protons in the nucleus of an atom, which determines the chemical properties of an element and its place in the periodic table.
49
conductor
50
conductor a substance, body, or device that readily conducts heat, electricity, sound, etc.
51
pressure
52
pressure the exertion of force upon a surface by an object, fluid, etc., in contact with it: force per unit area.
53
periodic table
54
periodic table a table illustrating the periodic system, in which the chemical elements arranged according to their atomic numbers, are shown in related groups.
55
condensation
56
condensation the act or process of reducing a gas or vapor to a liquid or solid form.
57
atomic mass
58
atomic mass the mass of an atom usually expressed in atomic mass units.
59
