5962937888	Matter	Mass and space/ Density	0
5962952955	Elements are named for	Mythological concepts, minerals they are found in, place, property, scientist, number	1
5962963687	Atomic Symbol	1st letter or 1st letter plus dominant letter of name or Latin/Greek root	2
5962977755	Mass Number	# of protons and neutrons	3
5962979827	Atomic Mass	Average mass number of all isotopes in the proportion they are born	4
5962994682	Atomic Number	Number of protons, determines which atom it is	5
5963014547	Isotope	Atoms with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons. Often radioactive tracers	6
5963029640	Charge of an Element	Neutral, the electrons-negative and protons-positive must be equal	7
5963048011	Ion	Charged elements, protons don't equal electrons, cations are positive, anions are negative	8
5963066070	Valence Electron	Outermost electrons, involved in bonding	9
5963092724	Periodic Table of Elements	-Left of the staircase is metals -Right of staircase is nonmetals -Touching staircase is metalloids	10
5963101016	States of Matter	Solid- almost incompressible, tight intermolecular bonds, set arrangement Liquid- almost incompressible, take the shape of their container Gas- compressible Plasma- gas made out of ions	11
5963125001	Amorphous Liquid	-From the Greek word without form -Lack planes to break along -Look solid but are actually super cool liquids -Glass	12
5963177581	Melting	Solid to liquid	13
5963177582	Vaporizing/Boiling	Liquid to gas	14
5963182210	Sublimation	Solid to gas	15
5963183929	Condensation	Gas to liquid	16
5963187498	Freezing	Liquid to solid	17
5963189602	Deposition	Gas to solid	18
5963215746	Substance	Set chemical composition and properties, cannot be chemically seperated	19
5963218350	Mixture	Two or more substances that keep their own composition, can be chemically separated, solute in a solvent, type determined by size of particles	20
5963254790	Element	Same atom	21
5963261747	Molecule	Different atoms	22
5963277840	Homogeneous Mixture	Solution- mixture with uniform composition and properties	23
5963294633	Heterogeneous Mixture	Colloid and suspension- mixture with nonuniform in composition and properties	24
