| Element | pure substances that cannot be separated into simpler substances by physical or chemical change |
| Pure substance | is a substance in which there is only one type of particle |
| Characteristic properties | a property of a substance that is always the same no matter what size it is |
| Metals | are elements that are shiny and are good conductors of thermal energy and electrical currents |
| Non-metals | are elements that are dull and that are poor conductors |
| Metalloids | elements that have properties of both metals and non-metals |
| Compound | pure substance composed of two or more element that are chemically combined |
| Mixture | combination of two or more substances that are not chemically 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 | the substance that is dissolved to form a solution |
| Solvent | substance in which a solute is dissolved to form a solution |
| Soluble | able to dissolve |
| Insoluble | unable to dissolve |
| Homogeneous Mixture | Same appearance and properties throughout the mixture |
| Heterogeneous Mixture | A combination of substances in which different components are easily observed |
| Concentration | The amount of solute dissolved in a solvent |
| Solubility | The amount of solute needed to make a saturated solution using a given amount of solvent at a certain temperature |
| Dilute | To make thinner or weaker by mixing or dispersing |
| Saturated Solution | A solution that contains all the solute it can hold at a given temperature |
| Unsaturated Solution | Contains less solute than it can hold at a given temp |
| Suspension | A mixture in which particles of a material are dispersed throughout a liquid or gas but are large enough that they settle out |
| Colloids | The particles are dispersed throughout but are not large enough to settle out |
