16
Q

Melting

A

or fusion, is a physical process that results in the phase transition of a substance from a solid to a liquid.

17
Q

Vaporization

A

of an element or compound is a phase transition from the liquid phase to vapor.

18
Q

Element

A

A substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means.

19
Q

Chemical Symbol

A

an abbreviation or short representation of a chemical element; the symbols in the periodic table.

20
Q

Consendation

A

is the process of a substance in a gaseous state transforming into a liquid state.

21
Q

Sublimation

A

is a type of phase transition, or a change in a state of matter, just like melting, freezing, and evaporation.

22
Q

Deposition

A

The direct solidification of a vapor by cooling; the reverse of sublimation.

23
Q

Substance

A

matter which has a specific composition and specific properties.

24
Q

Compound

A

substance formed when two or more chemical elements are chemically bonded together.

25
Mixture
Any substance that has a uniform and unchanging composition is considered to be pure.
26
Homogeneous Mixture
refers to substances and mixtures which are in a single phase, such as air
27
Heterogeneous Mixture
any combination of substances that does not have uniform composition and properties; a mixture of physically distinct substances with different properties
28
Solution
the process by which a gas, liquid, or solid is dispersed homogeneously in a gas, liquid, or solid without chemical change.
29
Filtration
any of various mechanical, physical or biological operations that separate solids from fluids (liquids or gases) by adding a medium through which only the fluid can pass.
30
Distillation
the separating of the constituents of a liquid by boiling it and then condensing the vapor that results.
31
Chemical Reaction
a process in which one or more substances, the reactants, are converted to one or more different substances, the products.
32
Reactant
substance that takes part in and undergoes change during a reaction
33
Product
reactants are transformed into products after passing through a high energy transition state.
34
Precipitate
cause (an event or situation, typically one that is bad or undesirable) to happen suddenly, unexpectedly, or prematurely.
35
Law of Conservation of Mass
states that mass in an isolated system is neither created nor destroyed by chemical reactions or physical transformations.
