Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
Pure Substance   same composition everywhere (elements and compounds)  
🗑
Mixture   2 or more pure substances physically combined  
🗑
Homogeneous mixture   uniformly combined mixture, no layers (solutions)  
🗑
Heterogeneous mixture   mixture with layers or sections  
🗑
Melting or fusion   solid turning into liquid (endothermic)  
🗑
Freezing or solidification   liquid turning into solid (exothermic)  
🗑
Vaporization   liquid turning into gas (endothermic)  
🗑
Condensation   gas turning into liquid (exothermic)  
🗑
Sublimation   solid turning into gas (endothermic)  
🗑
Deposition   gas turning into solid (exothermic)  
🗑
Distillation   separating (and collecting) all components of a mixture by differences in boiling points  
🗑
Filtration   separation technique for heterogeneous mixture. Creates filtrate and residue.  
🗑
Endothermic   a reaction that requires a net input of energy  
🗑
Exothermic   a reaction that has a net release of energy  
🗑
Chemical properties/changes   Can ONLY be observed by altering the chemical make up of the substance (ie: burning, rusting, cooking)  
🗑
Physical properties/changes   Can be observed without altering the chemical make up of the substance (ie: tearing, crushing)  
🗑
Solid   Has definite shape and volume. Particles vibrate in place. Low energy.  
🗑
Liquid   Has definite volume but no definite shape. Particles move around with more energy than solid.  
🗑
Gas   No definite shape or volume. Volume is determined by the container. Highest energy.  
🗑
malleable   metallic property- can be pounded or flattened into thin sheets  
🗑
ductile   metallic property - can be heated and made into wires  
🗑
Centrifugation   separating a mixture that contains small solids by spinning it really fast so the solid settles out  
🗑
Evaporation   Separating a mixture by boiling out the liquid so only the solid remains, while liquid escapes into atmosphere  
🗑
Chromatography   Separating a mixture by solubility and particle size on a vertical piece of paper with the bottom soaked in a solvent  
🗑
Element   The simplest form of matter that retains the properties of that type of matter. It can't be broken down by chemical means.  
🗑
Compound   2 or more elements chemically combined in a fixed ratio. Cannot be broken down by physical means  
🗑
Electrolysis   Using electricity to force a reaction to occur. This is the only way to separate a compound into its elements.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
