1. Classify each of the following as a homogeneous or heterogeneous substance.
heterogeneous
a. iron ore
homogeneous
b. quartz

c. granite
homogeneous
d. energy drink

2. Classify each of the following as a physical or chemical change.
physical
a. ice melting
chemical
b. paper burning
chemical
c. metal rusting
physical
d. gas pressure increasing
physical
e. liquid evaporating
chemical
f. food digesting
3. Compare a physical change with a chemical change.
A chemical change involves a rearrangement of the atoms of different elements in a
substance and the formation substances with different physical properties. A physical
change can occur in properties such as the state or shape of a substance, but it will
not affect the composition of that substance.

4. Compare and contrast each of the following terms:
a. mass and matter
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter. Matter is anything that has mass and
takes up space.
b. atom and compound
All matter is composed of atoms, which are the smallest units of an element that
retain the properties of that element. Atoms can come together to form compounds.
c. physical property and chemical property
Physical properties are characteristics such as color, density, melting point, and
boiling point that can be measured without changing the identity of the substance.
Chemical properties relate to how a substance interacts with another substance to
form a different substance.
d. homogeneous mixture and heterogeneous mixture
A homogeneous mixture has a uniform composition. A heterogeneous mixture is not
uniform.
5. Using circles to represent particles, draw a diagram that compares the arrangement of particles in
the solid, liquid, and gas states.
Solid Liquid Gas
6. How is energy involved in chemical and physical changes?
Energy is either absorbed or given off in all chemical and physical changes, but it is
neither created nor destroyed. It simply assumes a different form, or it is moved
from one place to another.

B
2. The symbol for the element in Period 2, Group 13, is .
metals
3. Elements that are good conductors of heat and electricity are .
nonmetals
4. Elements that are poor conductors of heat and electricity are .
group, or family
5. A vertical column of elements in the periodic table is called a(n) .
6. The ability of a substance to be hammered or rolled into thin sheets is called
malleability
.
7. Is an element that is soft and easy to cut cleanly with a knife likely to be a metal or a
metal
nonmetal?
noble gases
8. The elements in Group 18, which are generally unreactive, are called .
solids
9. At room temperature, most metals are .
10. Name three characteristics of most nonmetals.
They are brittle, are poor conductors of heat and electricity, and have low boiling
points.
11. Name three characteristics of metals.
They are malleable, ductile, and good conductors of heat and electricity, and they
have a metallic (shiny) luster.
12. Name three characteristics of most metalloids.
They are semiconductors of electricity, solid at room temperature, and less malleable
than metals.
13. Name two characteristics of noble gases.
They are in the gas state at room temperature and are generally unreactive.

14. What do elements of the same group in the periodic table have in common?
Elements of the same group share similar chemical properties.
15. Within the same period of the periodic table, how do the properties of elements close to each other
compare with the properties of elements far from each other?
The properties of elements that are close to each other in the same period tend to
be more similar than the properties of elements that are far apart. Physical and
chemical properties change somewhat regularly across a period.
16. You are trying to manufacture a new material, but you would like to replace one of the elements in
your new substance with another element that has similar chemical properties. How would you use
the periodic table to choose a likely substitute?
You would consider an element of the same vertical column, or group, because
elements in the same group have similar chemical properties.
17. What is the difference between a family of elements and elements in the same period?
Family is another name for group, or elements in the same vertical column.
Elements in the same period are in the same horizontal row.
18. Complete the table below by filling in the spaces with correct names or symbols.
Name of element Symbol of element

5. What is the difference between extensive and intensive properties?
Extensive properties depend on the amount of matter present; intensive properties
do not.
6. Consider the burning of gasoline and the evaporation of gasoline. Which process represents a
chemical change and which represents a physical change? Explain your answer.
The burning of gasoline represents a chemical change because the gasoline is being
changed into substances with different identities. Evaporation involves a physical
change; the identity of gasoline remains unchanged.
7. Describe the difference between a heterogeneous mixture and a homogeneous mixture, and give an
example of each.
A heterogeneous mixture, such as blood, is made of components with different
physical properties. A homogeneous mixture, such as stainless steel, has a single set
of physical properties.
8. Construct a concept map that includes the following terms: atom, element, compound, pure
substance, mixture, homogeneous, and heterogeneous.
