| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Homogeneous mixture | A combination of substances in which properties and appearance are the same throughout |
| Heterogeneous mixture | A combination of substances in which different components are easily observed |
| Dilute | Made thinner or weaker by having had water or another solvent added to it |
| Saturated solution | A solution that contains less solute than it can hold |
| Suspension | A mixture in which particles of a material are dispersed throughout a liquid or a gas but are large enough to settle out. The particles are insoluble. |
| Colloids | A mixture in which the particles are dispersed throughout but aren’t heavy enough to settle. The particles are relatively small and fairly well mixed. |
| Element | A pure substance that cannot be separated into simpler substances by physical or chemical means. |
| Pure Substance | A substance in which there is only one type of particle. |
| Characteristic Properties | Boiling point, melting point, density |
| Metals | Elements that are shiny and are good conductors of thermal and electrical current. |
| Non-metals | Elements that are dull and poor conductors of thermal and electrical energy. |
| Metalloids | Elements that have both metal and non-metal properties. |
| Compound | Pure substance of two or more elements that are chemically combined. |
| Mixture | Combination of two or more substances that are physically combined. |
| Solution | Mixture that appears to be a single substance but is composed of particles of two or more substances that are distributed evenly amongst each other. |
| Solute | Substance that is dissolved. |
| Soluble | The ability to dissolve |
| Solvent | Substance in which the solute is dissolved. |
| Insoluble | The inability to dissolve |
| Concentration | A measure of the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent |
| Solubility | The amount of solute needed to make saturated solution using a given amount of solvent at a certain temperature |
| Unsaturated solution | A solution that contains less solute than it can hold |
