Term
Definition
alloy   a metal made by combining two or more metallic elements, esp. to give greater strength or resistance to corrosion.  
🗑
colloid   a homogeneous, noncrystalline substance consisting of large molecules or ultramicroscopic particles of one substance dispersed through a second substance. Colloids include gels, sols, and emulsions; the particles do not settle and cannot be separated out  
🗑
heterogeneous   In chemistry, a mixture is a material system made up of two or more different substances which are mixed but are not combined chemically.  
🗑
homogeneous   Homogeneous as a term in physical chemistry and material science refers to substances and mixtures which are in a single phase. This is in contrast to a substance that is heterogeneous. The definition of homogeneous strongly depends on the context used  
🗑
insoluble   as a substance that is incapable of being dissolved. ... if you put it in water or another liquid, it would hold it's shape and chemical properties.  
🗑
mixture   is a material system made up of two or more different .... In the theory.  
🗑
saturated solution   In chemistry, saturation has diverse meanings, all based on reaching a maximum capacity. ⁕In physical chemistry, saturation is the point at which a solution of a substance can dissolve no more of that substance and additional amounts of it will appear as  
🗑
soluble   (of a substance) able to be dissolved, esp. in water.  
🗑
solubility   the quantity of a particular substance that can dissolve in a particular solvent (yielding a saturated solution)  
🗑
solute   the minor component in a solution, dissolved in the solvent.  
🗑
solution   a. A homogeneous mixture of two or more substances, which may be solids, liquids, gases, or a combination of these. b. The process of forming such a mixture.  
🗑
solvent   able to dissolve other substances. "osmotic, chemical, or solvent action"  
🗑
suspension   suspension is a heterogeneous mixture in which solute-like particles settle out of a solvent-like phase some time after their introduction. We apply the word 'suspension' when particles are big enough to eventually settle. If the particles are too small  
🗑
