| Model | An explanation or representation of something that cannot be seen. |
| Element | A collections of atoms that all have the same number of protons |
| Molecules | Chemicals that result from atoms linking together |
| Physical change affects the __________ of a substance | appearance, but not the chemical makeup |

| Diffusion | The random motion of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration |
| Concentration | A measurement of how much solute exists within a certain amount of solovent |
| Semipermeable membrane | A membrane that allows some molecules to pass through but does not allow other molecules pass through |
| Osmosis | The tendency of a solvent to travel across a semipermeable membrane into areas of higher solute concentration |
