Substance is a matter that is always made from the same combination of atoms
What are two categories of substances
Substances can be elements or compounds
Distinguish between elements and compounds
Element is a matter made of one type of atom while compounds are matter made of two or more elements that are bonded together chemically
Define a mixture
A mixture is two or more substances that are blended together physically but Are not chemically bonded together
Distinguish between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures
Heterogeneous mixture is a mixture of substances are not evenly mixed and usually more than one face is formed in such kinds of mixtures such as oil and water while a homogeneous mixture is a mixture where substances are evenly mixed and usually one phase is formed in such kinds of mixtures like for example salt and water
Another name for a homogeneous mixtures
Solution
Give two ways to separate homogeneous mixtures
Crystallization of operation simple distillation
Gift two ways to separate heterogeneous mixtures
Filtration decantation using separatory funnel
Distinguish between Solute and solvent
A solute Is a substance that is dissolved while solvent is a substance that does the dissolving
What does the type of a solution depend on
Solution can be a solid liquid or gas depending on the type of solvent so if the solvent is a solid than the solution is a solid and if the solvent is a liquid than the solution is also liquid
Distinguish between aqueous and non-aqueous solution
If the solvent is water then the solution is aqueous and if the solvent is a liquid other than water water than the solution is not aqueous
Define polar molecule
Polar molecule is said to be polar due to uneven distribution Of electrons
Where it has a slight positive end and a slight negative end
Define concentration
Concentration is the amount of solute dissolved in a certain amount of solution
How to make a solution with concentrated
Add more solute Or evaporate part of the solvent
How to make a solution more diluted
Add more solvent
