States of Matter
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| States of Matter | liquid, gas, solid, are the different kinds |
| Gas | no fixed volume or shape |
| Liquid | a distinct volume independent of its container but has no specific shape |
| Solid | a definite shape and volume |
| Solutions | groups of molecules that are mixed up in a completely even distribution |
| Compound | substances composed of two or more elements |
| Pure Substance | matter that has distinct properties and a composition that doesn't vary from sample to sample |
| Elements | cannot be decomposed into simpler substances (building block) |
| Mixture | combinations of two or more substances in which each substance retains its own chemical identity |
| Homogenous mixture | solutions are also mixtures, but all of the molecules are evenly distributed |
| Alloys | mixture of two or more metals |
| Emulsions | mixture of oils and waters |
| Solute | the substance to be dissolved |
| Solvent | the one doing the dissolving |
| Solubility | the amount of solute that can be dissolved by the solvent |
| Colloids | solutions with much bigger particles, usually foggy or milky when looked at |
| Molecule | general term used to describe atoms connected by chemical bonds, every combination of atoms is a molecule |
| Covalent compounds | happen when the atoms share the electrons |
| Ionic compounds | happen when electrons are donated from one atom to another |
| Electrons | negatively charged particles of the atom |
| Matter | anything that has mass and takes up space |
| Physical forces | create the changes (alone cannot break down compounds) |
| Chemical Forces | bonds are built and broken down |
| Heterogeneous mixtures | in which the two or more substances that form the mixture are not evenly distributed |
| Suspensions | heterogeneous fluid mixtures containing solid particles large enough for sedimentation |
