🗑
Mixture   Matter with variable composition made from 2 or more substances  
🗑
Pure substance   Matter with a constant composition all particles have the same property  
🗑
Element   A substance made of atoms with the same atomic number

🗑
Kinetic Molecular Theory   All matter is made of particles in constant motion.  
🗑
Kinetic Energy   Energy of motion  
🗑
Heat   Energy that is transferred from one object to another. (You can't really measure heat, only change in temperature)

What did Democritus do?   Propose tiny things called atmos – small individual indivisible particles. Said they move through empty space, different properties of matter where do two arrangements of atoms.  
🗑
What did Dalton do?   Believed all matter is made up of small particles called atoms. All atoms of elements are identical by mass. Matter is neither created or destroyed. Adams combine and small hole number ratio's.  
🗑
What did JJ Thompson discover?   Discovered electrons using the cathode ray tube. This was a pole that charge particles went up into.  
🗑
What did Robert Millikan do?   Figured out the charge of electrons using a famous oil drop experiment. This experiment calculated using average is the mass of oil drops and the rate at which would move toward the positive plate.
