Document Summary

Matter: anything that has mass and occupies space. Property: characteristic that allow you to recognize a type of matter. Compounds: composed of 2 or more elements or 2 or more kinds of atoms. Law of constant composition: elemental composition of a compound is always the same. Intensive properties: independent of the amount of matter. Extensive properties: relate to amount. (mass, volume, energy ) Precision: how closely individual measurements agree with one another. Accuracy: how closely they agree with correct value. (how close to being correct?) Zeroes at the beginning are never significant. Zeroes at the end are only significant in decimals. When you multiply or divide you count the whole thing and use the least amount of sig figs. When you add or subtract you take in account the decimal point and use the least amount of sigfigs from the decimals. Law of conservation of mass: mass is the same after the process takes place.
