pure substance | a pure substance is a substance that has a fixed composition |
mechanical mixture | a mixture of two or more substances that are physically combined and can be taken apart |
solution | a solution is a homogenous mixture of two or more substances that are dissolved |
solute | a solute is the one being dissolved and is the smallest substance in the solution |
solvent | the one doing the dissolving and the larger substance |
particle theory 1 | atoms of the same element are the same |
particle theory 2 | particles are attracted to each other by forces |
particle theory 3 | particles have space in between them |
particle theory 4 | particles are always moving above -273.15 |
particle theory 5 | the faster particles move the warmer they get |
solid | particles are closely packed together and have a fixed shape and volume |
liquid | particles are closely packed but can move past each other but still have a fixed volume |
gas | particles are far away from each other and can change to fill the whole container |
evaporation | liquid to gas |

energy | energy is the ability to do work and is involved in the changes of states and its obtained by calories. |
thermal energy | thermal energy is the internal energy of activity |
kinetic energy | kinetic energy is the energy of motion of particles |
thermal expansion | the expansion of a substance when heated |
thermal contraction | the contraction of an object when cooled |
the law of conservation of matter and mass | this law states that matter cannot be destroyed or made in any chemical reaction - only rearranged |
reading a graduated cylinder volume | read the bottom of the meniscus the curved surface of the liquid in the cylinder |
distillation | distillation is a process that seperates components of a liquid mixture based on the differences in boiling points |
thermodynamics | thermodynamics is the science of the relationships between heat work and temprature and energy it deals with the transfer of one to another and one form to another |
plasma | known as the fourth state of matter that holds 99 percent of known matter |
