| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Matter | physical substance in general |
| Element | a substance that can't be broken down by non-nuclear reactions |
| Mixture | a combination of two or more substances in any proportions. |
| Heterogenous Mixture | a mixture in which the composition is not uniform throughout the mixture |
| Freezing Point | point at which something freezes |
| Solution | a homogenous mixture of two or more substances in relative amounts that can be varied |
| Solvent | The solute is the substance that is being dissolved, while the solvent is the dissolving medium |
| Solid | something hard and takes form of something visible has volume and weight |
| Gas | like air kind of |
| Mass | Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object |
| Atoms | An atom is the basic building block of chemistry. |
| Extraction | "Extraction" refers to transference of compound(s) from a solid or liquid into a different solvent or phase. |
| Physical Property | A physical property is a characteristic of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing the identity of the substance. |
| Physical Change | Physical changes are limited to changes that result in a difference in display without changing the composition. |
| Conductivity | a measure of a solution's ability to conduct electricity. |
| Extrinsic Property | s not essential or inherent to the subject that is being characterized. |
| Intrinsic Property | those that do not depend on the amount of substance present |
| Pure Substance | substances that are made up of only one kind of particle and have a fixed or constant structure. |
| Compound | any substance composed of identical molecules consisting of atoms of two or more chemical elements. |
| Homogenous Mixture | a gaseous, liquid or solid mixture that has the same proportions of its components throughout a given sample |
| Boiling Point | point at which something boils |
| Evaportion | process by which an element or compound transitions from its liquid state to its gaseous state below the temperature at which it boils |
| Solute | A substance that is dissolved in a solution |
| States of Matter | defined as one of the ways in which matter can interact with itself to form a homogeneous phase. |
| Liquid | The particles in a liquid are free to flow. So, it has a definite volume, but not a definite shape. |
| Density | the relationship between the mass of the substance and how much space it takes up |
| Volume | a physical quantity that measures the amount of three-dimensional space occupied by matter |
| Molecules | group of two or more atoms that form the smallest identifiable unit into which a pure substance can be divided |
| Filtration | solid particles in a liquid or gaseous fluid are removed by the use of a filter medium that permits the fluid to pass through |
| Chemical Property | a property or characteristic of a substance that is observed during a reaction in which the chemical composition or identity of the substance is changed. |
| Chemical Change | one chemical substance is transformed into one or more different substances, such as when iron becomes rust. |
| Solubility | the ability to be dissolved, especially in water. |
