Matter is anything with __________________ and volume

2

A ___________________________ is a form of matter with a uniform and unchanging composition.

2

Substances have specific, unchanging ___________________________ that can be observed.

2

Substances have both physical and chemical properties. ___________________________ properties can be observed without changing a substance’s chemical composition.

2

Color, hardness, and ___________________________ are examples.

2

Other properties cannot be observed without changing the composition of a substance. These are called ___________________________ properties. An example is the tendency of iron to form rust when exposed to air.
