properties of matter
Term | Definition |
---|---|
matter | occupies space and has mass |
element | pure substance, not as common in nature, can't be seperated with chemical methods |
compound | made of 2 or more elements, more common in nature, can be seperated with chemical methods |
mixture | most common in nature, components aren't chemically combinedconsists of 2 or more elements which can retain og state, can be seperated with physical methods |
homogeneous mixture | a mixture in which the composition is uniform throughout |
heterogeneous mixture | a mixture in which the composition is not uniform throughout |
sieving | solid particles seperated by size |
sedimentation | solid particles setlle out from liquid or gas (larger at the bottom) |
decanting | pouring a lquid of a solid (after sedimentation) |
filtration | undissolved solid particles seperated from liquid or gas through a filter |
evaporation | used when one component evaporates faster (seperate a solute from a solution) |
solute | the substance that is dissolved |
solvent | the substance that does the dissolving |
magnetic seperation | used when one compenent has a higher magnetic attraction |
seperating funnel | used to seperate two immiscible liquids (liquids of different density) |
centrifuging | mixture seperated by being spun extremely fast |
distillation | used to extract a solvent from solution through evaporation based on boiling point |
fractional distillation | used to seperate components of a liquid mixture using evaporation (boiling points differ) |
gravimetric analysis | analysis by mass (mass percentage of each substance in a mixture) |
metals | lusterous |
metals | malleable |
metals | ductile |
metals | mostly silvery in colour |
metals | dense |
metals | high melting and boiling point (solids) |
metals | good conductors of heat and electricity |
metalloids | properties of both metals and nonmetals |
non-metals | dull |
non-metals | not malleable/brittle |
non-metals | most are gas at room temperature |
non-metals | not ductile |
non-metals | low density |
non-metals | low melting and boiling points |
non-metals | poor conductors of heat and electricity |
non-metals |
