Standard(s):
PS-3.1
PS-3.3
PS-3.4
PS-3.6
Distinguish chemical properties of matter
(including reactivity) from physical properties of
matter (including boiling point, freezing/melting
point, density [with density calculations],
solubility, viscosity, and conductivity).
Illustrate the difference between a molecule and an
atom.
Classify matter as a pure substance (either an
element or a compound) or as a mixture (either
homogeneous or heterogeneous) on the basis of its
structure and/or composition.
Compare the properties of the four states of
matter—solid, liquid, gas, and plasma—in terms of
the arrangement and movement of particles.
