        Help!  

Term
Definition
liquid   One of the states of matter. Has a fixed volume but not a fixed shape.  
🗑
solid   One of the states of matter. Has a fixed shape and fixed volume.  
🗑
gas   One of the states of matter. Does not have a fixed shape or a fixed volume and is easy to squash.  
🗑
dissolve   When a substance breaks up into such tiny pieces in a liquid that it can no longer be seen and forms a solution.  
🗑
method   A description of how an experiment is carried out, written in simple, well-organised steps.  
🗑
sequence   Step-by-step in the correct order, such as the steps in a method for an experiment.  
🗑
imperative verb   A command to do something.  
🗑
filtrate   The liquid that passes through a filter.  
🗑
mixture   Two or more substances jumbled together but not joined to each other.  
🗑
suspension   A mixture of a solid and liquid, where the solid bits are heavy enough to settle out if the mixture is left to stand.  
🗑
colloid   A mixture of a solid, liquid or gas in a solid, liquid or gas, where the substances do not settle out if left to stand.  
🗑
disperse   To spread without settling out, such as the bits in a colloid.  
🗑
opaque   Not possible to see through.  
🗑
solution   When a substance has dissolved in a liquid. Solutions are transparent.  
🗑
transparent   Clear, can be seen through.  
🗑
filter   Anything, such as cloth, paper or a layer of sand, through which a liquid is passed to removesuspended pieces of solid.  
🗑
to filter   To separate solid substances that have not dissolved from a mixture containing solids and liquid.  
🗑
sieve   A mesh or grid with holes that holds back large solids from a mixture but allows smaller solid pieces and liquids through.  
🗑
to sieve   To separate large solids from a mixture using a sieve.  
🗑
solvent   The liquid in which a substance dissolves to make a solution.  
🗑
solute   The substance that has dissolved in a liquid to make a solution.  
🗑
soluble   Describes a substance that can dissolve in a liquid.  
🗑
insoluble   Describes a substance that cannot dissolve in a liquid.  
🗑
saturated   A solution that contains so much dissolved solute that no more solute can dissolve in it.  
🗑
solubility   The amount of substance that dissolves in a particular solvent at a particular temperature to make a saturated solution.  
🗑
heating to dryness   Evaporating the liquid from a solution to leave the solids that had been dissolved in it  
🗑
evaporate   To change from the liquid state to the gas state.  
🗑
hazard   A danger, or something that can harm.  
🗑
risk   The likelihood that a hazard may cause harm.  
🗑
evaporation   When a substance changes from its liquid state to its gas state, for example when the gas escapes from the surface of the liquid into the air.  
🗑
sodium chloride   The chemical name for table salt.  
🗑
boiling   When there is liquid turning into a gas in all parts of a liquid, creating bubbles of gas in the liquid.  
🗑
boiling point   The temperature at which a liquid boils.  
🗑
chromatography   A method that separates out dissolved substances in a mixture, using a liquid or gas solvent. T  
🗑
paper chromatography   Chromatography where the solvent moves through paper, carrying the dissolved solids.  
🗑
chromatogram   The results of chromatography (e.g. a dried piece of paper for paper chromatography), when the dissolved solids have been separated.  
🗑
desalination   To produce fresh drinking water by separating the water from the salts in salty water.  
🗑
distillation   The process of separating a liquid from a mixture by evaporating the liquid and then condensing it (so that it can be collected).  
🗑
steam   Water as a gas. May also be called water vapour.  
🗑
condense   When a substance changes from its gas state to its liquid state.  
🗑
still   Apparatus that can be used for distillation.  
🗑
