Elements, Compounds & Mixtures
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 2 types of mixtures | homogeneous & heterogeneous |
| 2 types of pure substances | elements & compounds |
| chemical formula | shows the different atoms that make up a compound using their element symbols |
| compound | when atoms of 2 or more DIFFERENT elements CHEMICALLY bond together |
| dissolve | to form a solution by mixing evenly |
| distillation | a liquid is boiled to produce a vapor that is then condensed and separated from the original mixture |
| element | made up of just one type of atom; found on PT |
| evaporation | turning liquid into a gas to separate a mixture |
| filtration | separating SOLID particles in a LIQUID by the use of a filter medium (paper, sand, or cloth). The liquid passes through but the filter holds onto the solid particles. |
| heterogeneous mixture | mixture in which substances are NOT EVENLY mixed |
| homogeneous mixture | mixture in which individual substances are EVENLY mixed |
| mixture | combination of 2 or more substances PHYSICALLY combined together |
| pure substance | matter with a composition that is always the same |
| sedimentation | separating SOLIDs from LIQUIDs by letting the solids fall to the bottom and removing the liquid from the top |
| sifting | the process of substances passing through a sorting device, like a screen, in order to separate or examine the substances |
| solute | the substance that is BEING dissolved by the solvent in the solution |
| solution | a.ka. homogeneous mixture |
| solvent | the substance that DOES the dissolving in the solution |
| suspension | heterogeneous mixture in which the particles are large and will eventually settle out |
| ways to separate mixtures | distillation, filtration, magnetism, sedimentation, sifting |
