| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Simple Separation | Taking out parts of a mixture by hand or with tools when they’re easy to see and grab |
| Magnetic separation | Using a magnet to pull out things made of iron or steel from a mixture |
| Decanting | Gently pouring the liquid off the top when heavier stuff has sunk to the bottom |
| Flotation | Letting lighter things float to the top so you can skim them off |
| Filtering | Using a filter to catch solids while letting liquid or gas pass through |
| Distillation | Heating a liquid to make steam, then cooling it to get pure liquid back |
| Evaporation | Letting a liquid turn into a gas and leave the solid behind |
| Sieving | Shaking a mixture through holes to separate larger pieces from smaller ones |
| Centrifuging | Spinning a mixture fast so heavier parts move to the outside |
| Crystallisation | Making solid crystals form when a liquid cools or evaporates |
| Sedimentation | Letting heavy particles settle at the bottom of a container over time |
| Chromatography | Using paper and liquid to separate colours in a mixture |
| Solutions | A mixture where solute particles are completely dissolved in the solvent |
| Suspensions | mixtures where solute particles are large enough to be seen and settle out over time |
| Colloids | they are a middle ground, with particles that don't settle and can scatter light |
| Emulsions | a specific type of colloid where one liquid is dispersed in another |
| Mixture | a combination of two or more substances |
| Solubility | the ability of a substance to dissolve in another and form a solution |
| Solvent | the substance that does the dissolving |
| Solute | the substance that gets dissolved |
| Substance | A kind of matter used in experiments |
| factors that increase solubility | higher temperature, smaller particle size, less substance |
| factors that decrease solubiluity | lower temperature, larger particle size, more substance |
