| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are elements | Simple substances that consist of only one type of atom |
| What is a compound | A compound contains two or more different elements chemically combined to form a new substance |
| What is a mixture | Mixtures contain two or more substances mixed together but not chemically combined |
| What is a solution | A type of mixture where a substance has completely dissolved into another substance |
| What is a solute | A solute is the substance that dissolves into a substance to make a solution |
| What is a solvent | A solvent is a substance that dissolves the solute to make a solution |
| What is a concentrated solution | A solution that has a large amount of solute dissolve into a small amount of solvent |
| What is a dilute solution | A dilute solution has a small amount of solute dissolved into a large amount of solvent |
| What is solubility | Solubility is the amount of substance (grams) that will dissolve in 100cm³ of a solvent at a specific temperature,it is measured in g/cm³ |
| What is a saturated solution | A saturated solution contains as much solut as possible at a given temperature |
| When does the solubility of solids increase | The solubility of solids increase as the temperature increases |
| When does the solubility of gas decrsse | The solubility of gas decreased as the temperature increases |
| What are the features of a compound | Elements in a compound are chemically bonded They are difficult to separate |
| What are the properties of a compound | The properties of a compound are different to the properties of the elements it contains. |
| What are the features of a mixture | Substances in a mixture are not chemically bonded They are easy to separate |
| What are the properties of a mixture | In a mixture,each substance retains it's individual properties. |
| What does soluble and insoluble mean | A solid that can dissolve in a solvent is soluble,if it doesn't dissolve it ts insoluble, |
| What are crystals | Solid particles where molecules fit together in a repeating pattern |
| What is crystallisation | The formation of crystals when a saturated solution cools. |
