| Mixture | 2 or more substances blended together physically |
| Homogeneous | Evenly blended and usually has a ratio or proportion of substances either by mass or volume |
| Heterogeneous | Made of visibly different particles |
| Proton | Found in nucleus. Positive Charge. Mass of 1amu |
| Electron Cloud | Current Theory of an atom. We can only predict possible location of electrons because they move so fast. |
| Filtration | Using filter paper or sieves to separate based on size |
| Isotope | Version of the same element. Only has different numbers of neutrons. |
| Electron | Found outside nucleus. Negative Charge. No mass. |
| Element | A pure substance made up of only 1 kind of atom |
| Evaporation | Letting a liquid change to a gas. For faster results you can also boil off non-flammable liquids. |
