Cards

Term
Physical Properties
Definition

describe look and feel of a substance. ex, color, texture, hardness, softness. 

 

They can change when conditions change. Does not mean a new substance was created. 

Term
Gases
Definition
Further heating causes liquid particles to moves so fast the attractions are no longer able to hold them together, so they separate and form a gas.
Term
Liquids
Definition
When heat is added, the vibrations of atoms increase until rapid enought to disrupt the fixed arrangement. Have the ability to flow.
Term
Chemistry
Definition
study of matter and the transformation it undergoes.
Term
Solids
Definition
the attraction between atoms are strong enough to hold all the particles together in a fixed, 3D arrangement.
Term
Elements
Definition
not man-made, naturally occurring.
Term
Matter
Definition
anything that has mass and takes up spce. Solids, liquids, gases
Term
Elements
Definition
Term
Mixture
Definition

A combination of two or more substances in which each substance retains its own properties. (Salt and water, oil and water, seltzer water, trail mix)

 

Mixtures are physical-not a new substance. 

Term
Compound
Definition

Material in which atoms of different elements are bonded to one another-H2O

A chemical change-new and different

Term
Separation of mixtures
Definition

Filtration-separation using a filter 

 

Distillation-a purifying process in which a vaporized substance is collected by exposing it to cooler temperatures over a receiving flask which collects the condensed, purified liquid. 

 

Term
Heterogenous
Definition

in these mixtures, the different components can be seen as individual substances 

ex: trail mix

pulpy orange juice

Term
Homogenous
Definition
components in these mixtures have same composition throughout. ex: homogenized milk, blood
Term
Solution
Definition

All components are in the same phase, i.e. sea water. 

 

1. solvent-the components present in the largest amount.

2. solute. any other component. 

 

sea water is solvent. solute-sale and minerals. these can distill solutions to separate them. This is homogenous. 

Term
Suspension
Definition

When diffferent components are in different phases but cannot be readily distinguished. 

 

Milk, blood-can't distinguish them. you can use centrifugal force to separate them. 

 

All mixtures can be separated somehow.

these are homogenous
