elements compounds and mixtures
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| A sample of matter that has definite chemical and physical properties. | element |
| Pure substance composed of two or more different elements joined by chemical bonds. | compound |
| A combination of two or more pure substances that are not chemically combined. | mixture |
| mixture of different and easily distinguishable materials | heterogeneous mixture |
| contains two or more gaseous, liquid, or solid materials blended evenly | homogeneous mixture |
| a mixture that appears to have the same composition throughout | solution |
| heterogeneous mixture with particles that never settle. | colloid |
| the scattering of light. colloids scatter light | Tyndall Effect |
| heterogeneous mixture containing a liquid in which visible particles settle. ex.-pond water | suspension |
| characteristics of a material which can be observed without changing the identity of the substance in the material | physical property |
| color, shape, size, melting point,density,magnetism, viscosity, ductility, and malleability | Examples of physical properties |
| change in a substance's size, shape, or state of matter | physical change |
| characteristics of a substance indicating that it can change chemically;flammability, reactivity, and light sensitivity | chemical property |
| burning of wood, hydrogen perioxide decomposing in the presence of light | examples of chemical changes |
| when one substance changes into another | chemical change |
| temperature change, smell, or bubble formation, production of odor, precipitate | chemical change indicators |
| big rocks split into smaller ones; erosion by rivers and streams | physical weathering of earth's surface |
| calcium carbonate in limestone changes into calcium hydrogen carbonate due to acid rain | chemical weathering of earth's surface |
| Mass of all substances present before a chemical reaction equals the mass of all the substances after the change. | Law of Conservation of Mass |
