| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| what is matter? | anything with mass and takes up space/ can be classified as a pure substance or a mixture. |
| pure substance | is the same thorough out doesn't vary |
| mixture | a blend of two or more kinds of matter |
| heterogeneous | are not uniform through out/you can see its mixture |
| homogeneous | are uniform in composition/ you cant see that its a mixture |
| solutions | homogeneous mixtures |
| solvent | the dissolving medium/ it stays |
| solute | the substance being dissolved/ it leaves |
| alloys | solid solutions/ two or more metals are uniformly mixed/ ex: brass /advantages: higher strength and greater resistance to corrosion |
| suspensions | mixtures in which particles of the mixture are more or less evenly dispersed throughout a liquid or gas |
| colloids | particles that are intermediate in size between those in solution and suspensions. |
| the Tyndall effect | particles that are large enough to scatter light |
| Brownian motion | at a right angle this motion is due to collisions rapidly moving molecules / discovered by Robert brown |
| factors affecting solubility (the ability of a substance to be dissolved) | temperature pressure surface area agitation |
| polar | ionic compounds dissolves in water because water is polar |
| nonpolar | compounds dissolve non-polar substances |
| acids | substances that in solution can donate a hydrogen ion (proton) to another substance |
| bases | substances that in solution can accept a hydrogen ion from another substance |
