CHEM 1120 Exam 1 Dutta Study Guide – Chemistry Terms, Problems &
Solutions
Matter - correct answer ✔✔The physical material that the world is made of, anything that has
mass and occupies space
Solid matter - correct answer ✔✔molecules are touching, force of the molecules are very
strong, low kinetic energy, has a fixed shape and volume
Liquid matter - correct answer ✔✔molecules are moving around closely, distinct volume, no
fixed shape, the force of the molecules is less, more kinetic energy
Gas matter - correct answer ✔✔Molecules are far from each other, no fixed shape or volume,
can be compressed, very high kinetic energy
Physical properties of matter - correct answer ✔✔A characteristic of a substance that can be
observed with changing the basic identity of the substance
Chemical properties of matter - correct answer ✔✔A characteristic of a substance that
describes the way the substance undergoes or resists change ti form a new substance
Compound - correct answer ✔✔Contains at least two types of atoms, pure substance that
cannot be broken down by physical means but can be broken down by chemical means
1m= Xdm - correct answer ✔✔10
1dm=Xcm - correct answer ✔✔10
