Characteristic of a substance that indicates whether it can undergo a chemical change.

Chemical Change
A change of one substance to another.

Law of Conservation and Mass
The mass of all substances that are present before a chemical change equals the mass of all the substances after the change.

Kinetic Theory
Explanation of how particles in matter behave.

Melting Point
