Question | Answer |
---|---|
matter | Anything that has a mass and a volume. |
atoms | The building blocks of matter; made up of protons, electrons, and neutrons. |
molecules | Two or more atoms are joined together chemically. Elements can be different or the same. Example: O + O = O2 |
compound | A molecule that has two or more different elements bonded together. Example: H + O = H2O |
heterogeneous mixture | Parts do not combine. Each keeps its own properties. Can be separated. Example: sand in water. |
homogeneous mixture | Uniform distribution. Example: sugar in water |
solution | Groups of molecules that are mixed in a completely even distribution. A solute dissolved in a solvent. |
solute | The substance to be dissolved. Example: sugar. |
solvent | The one doing the dissolving. Water is a universal one. |
mixture | No chemical change. Each keeps its own properties. Can be separated. |
filtration | Process of separating a mixture by using a funnel and filter paper to separate a solid from a liquid |
distillation | Process in which the parts of a substance or liquid mixture are separated by heating it to a certain temperature and then condensing the resulting vapors |
evaporation | A method of separating a mixture where the liquid turns into a gas and the solid residue is left behind |
magnetism | A method of separating a mixture by removing metals from non-metal substances |
sifting | A method of separating a mixture that uses a screen-like device or mesh device to separate larger objects from smaller objects |
bonded | Atoms are held together by a force of attraction |
element | A pure substance that is the building block of all matter |
pure substance | A substance made from a single type of atom or one type of molecule; can be a compound or a single element; Examples: diamonds, salt, gold |
