Classifying Matter
| TTerm | Definition |
|---|---|
| Solution: | a solvent and solute together / Something being dissolved in something (small particles) |
| Mixture: | Physically combined |
| Element: | Pure substance |
| Compound: | Chemically combined |
| Suspension: | large particles |
| Homogeneous: | distributed evenly throughout a mixture |
| Heterogeneous: | Not evenly distributed throughout mixture |
| Solvent: | Something that dissolves |
| Solute: | Something being dissolved |
| Colloid: | mixture with medium particles |
| Soluble: | Able to be dissolved |
| Insoluble: | not able to be dissolved |
| Speed up Dissolve by: | Heat, pressure, break into pieces |
| Concentrated: | More solvent and more potent or measure of substance in mixture |
| Dilute: | More solute and less potent |
| Solubility: | The maximum amount of solute able to be dissolved in the solvent |
| conservation of mass | A principle stating that mass cannot be created or destroyed. |
| Chemical property | something you cannot see like weight, flammability, |
| Sighs of chemical change | smell, taste, color, bubbles, ect. |
| Concentration: | The exact amount of solute within the solvent |
| Pure Substance: | a sample of matter, that has definite chemical and physical properties, it is either a single element or single compound. it can also be described as a substance with only one type of particle, cannot be separated by physical means |
| Metal: | An shiny element that conducts heat and electricity well |
| Nonmetal: | an element that conducts heat and electricity poorly |
| Metalloid: | an element with metal and nonmetal properties |
| Can you undo it? | Yes- it is a physical property. No- its chemical |
