Unit GLEs
Strand 1 Properties and Principles of Matter and Energy
1. Changes in properties and states of matter provide evidence of the atomic theory of matter.
A. Objects, and the materials they are made of, have properties that can be used to describe and classify them.
B. Properties of mixtures depend upon the concentrations, properties, and interactions of particles
C. Properties of matter can be explained in terms of moving particles too small to be seen without tremendous magnification
D. Physical changes in the state of matter that result from thermal changes can be explained by the Kinetic Theory of Matter
E. The atomic model describes the electrically neutral atom
F. The periodic table organizes the elements according to their atomic structure and chemical reactivity.
G. Properties of objects and states of matter can change chemically and/or physically.
H. Chemical bonding is the combining of different pure substances to form new substances with different properties.
I. Mass is conserved during any physical or chemical change.
