Atoms, Elements, Compounds and Mixtures
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Solution | aka homogeneous mixture; A mixture in which one substance is completely dissolved in another |
| Alloy | a solid mixture of two or more metals, ex. brass b/c it is a mixture of copper and zinc |
| Compound | A pure substance that chemically combines with two or more different elements |
| Heterogeneous Mixture | A mixture in which particles can be seen and easily separated by settling or filtration |
| Homogeneous Mixture | mixture of 2 or more substances looks the same throughout |
| Element | A pure substance that cannot be broken down, Found on the PT |
| Atom | The basic particle from which all elements are made |
| Chemistry | the study of matter and how it changes |
| Colloid | A mixture containing small, undissolved particles that do not settle out (ex.milk, fog) |
| Concentrated | A solution that has a lot of solute dissolved in it |
| Dilute | A solution that has only a little solute dissolved in it |
| Distillation | This method is used to separate a mixture of 2 liquids by using their different boiling points |
| Evaporation | liquid solutions can change to a gas, leaving solid components behind |
| Filtration | used to separate solids from liquids or gases using a filter that allows the fluid (liquid/gas) to pass through but not the solid |
| Magnetic Attraction | substances that can be separated from a mixture using a magnet |
| Mass | A measure of how much matter is in an object |
| Matter | Anything that has mass and takes up space |
| Mixture | a combination of 2 or more elements or compounds not chemically bonded |
| Molecule | 2 or more atoms chemically bonded together |
| Saturated | A solution that contains the MOST dissolved solute as is possible at a given temperature |
| Substance | kind of matter with same properties |
| Suspension | a heterogeneous mixture that has larger particles that will eventually sink to the bottom |
| Universal Solvent | the description of water since it can dissolve so many substances |
| Volume | The amount of space taken up by an object |
