Term
Homogeneous Mixture
Definition

 

  

any combination of substances that has uniform composition and properties; 

a mixturethat is uniform throughout

 

Term
Heterogenous Mixture
Definition
  any combination of substances that does not have uniform composition and properties;a mixture of physically distinct substances with different properties
Term
Physical change vs chemical change
Definition
The difference between a physical reaction and a chemical reaction is composition. In a chemical reaction, there is a change in the composition of the substances in question; in a physical change there is a difference in the appearance, smell, or simple display of a sample of matter without a change in composition. Although we call them physical "reactions," no reaction is actually occurring. In order for a reaction to take place, there must be a change in the elemental composition of the substance in question. Thus, we shall simply refer to physical "reactions" as physical changes from now on. 
Term

Atom,Molecule,hydrate

 

give examples and tell difference

Definition

an atom is the simplist form (S)

molecule is made up of atoms.(H2O)

a hydrate has water in it.(H2O2)

Term
Daltons Atomic Theory
Definition

Term
The Law of definite proportions
Definition

ohn Dalton (1803) stated this law as 'when two elements combine with each other to form two or more than two compounds, the massof the element which combine with the fixed mass of the other bears a simple whole number ratio'.

 

Example  

 

Carbon monoxide (CO): 12 parts by mass of carbon combines with 16 parts by mass of oxygen.
